Hmmm...that's weird you guys glorify the Woodstock performance so much. That's cool, I just find it...not as inticing to me as others. But I'm not dissing it...it's just not as essential in my book.
The DVD titled..a film about Jimi Hendrix is GREAT !!! Stages is a fantastic 4 disc collection TheDOM mentioned. So much of his live material has been legitimately available but has been discontinued...Weird 'right's issues'...but supposedly the HendrixFamily is gonna pour it out...eventually. I don't know what their wait is....so much stuff !!!!!
My absolute favorite EVER performance is 'Hear My Train a comin' from Berkeley. BUT it's from the 1st set and not on the legitimately available Berkeley concert. You can find it on 'Blues'...it used to be on the 'Rainbow Bridge' vinyl LP. But that is my quintessential Hendrix live performance....best version I've ever heard of the killerest blues-rock...IMHO !
