Reviews Customer Reviews for Stages      Great 'live' reckoner for anyone interested in Jimi      Rating:      The 4 CD boxset shows the remarkable growth of a remarkable talent. He recorded for a mere 4 years - yet few artistes have had such an astonishing influence and impact. The first 2 cds(Stockholm 67, Paris 68) capture the experience in all their early euphoria. CDs 3 & 4 - San Diego 69 and Atlanta 70 (the latter with Billy Cox replacing Noel Redding on bass), are much better as live recordings. The band here really cooks with blistering versions of older songs and some great new songs. If you want to experience live Hendrix, then stages is as good a place to start as any.     Customer Reviews for Stages Cd      Holy smokes! Jimi live in 4 well recorded shows. Yummy.      Rating:      I was lucky, in a sense, I bought the cassette version of this set years ago. It made a great box set then and would still be lovely if it was still in print. I see the price for this CD set gets kinda high. A shame cuz the music is a real treasure. Stockholm 67 Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Fire The Wind Cries Mary Foxy Lady I Don't Live Today Buring of the Midnight Lamp Purple Haze Paris 68 Killin' Floor Catfish Blues Foxy Lady Red House Drivin South The Wind Cries Mary Fire Little Wing Purple Haze San Diego 69 Intro riffs Fire Hey Joe Spanish Castle Magic/ Sunshine of Your Love Red House I Don't Live Today Purple Haze Voodoo Child (Slight Return) Atlanta 70 Fire Lover Man Spanish Castle Magic Foxy Lady Purple Haze Hear My Train a Comin Stone Free Start Spangled Banner Straight Ahead Room Full of Mirrors Voodoo Child (Slight Return) Nice packaging with pictures and commentary. Four shows from four different years. Great idea. I'm pleased that the Jimi Hendrix estate is continuing to officially release more and more of his music. He apparently did recording of his shows and his many jam sessions after shows with other musicians. He also recorded a lot of studio material that never got released. One of the tricks to Jimi gigs is to find well recorded ones. Those who originally released this set were able to use well recorded shows and, I assume, clean them up so that they make for a great listen. If you get the chance, I highly recommend this set. For any Jimi fan it's a must. As you probably know, he was one of those artists who was both strong in the studio as well as dynamic live. This set gives you hours of proof of what he could do live.
