JIMI HENDRIX: THE BAGGY`S REHEARSAL SESSIONS
The Baggy's Rehearsal Sessions represents the fifth release by Dagger Records, the official bootleg label created by Experience Hendrix. This edition offers the fruits of the guitarist's spirited rehearsals fronting the Band Of Gypsys as they prepared for their four unforgettable Fillmore East concerts.
These unpolished, direct to two-track recordings were made over the course of two long December 1969 evenings. The twelve recordings that make up this collection were originally made at 7-1/2i.p.s. on a two-track reel to reel tape machine. Throughout The Baggy's Rehearsals Sessions, Hendrix can be heard tinkering with both arrangements and lyrics, enthusiastically refining these bright examples of his new musical direction. What these raw, unmixed tapes make clear is the enthusiasm the trio shared for this new music and the opportunity before them to bring it to life onstage. Taken together with Band Of Gypsys and Live At The Fillmore East, The Baggy's Studio Rehearsals offers Hendrix fans a more detailed view of the evolution of one of Hendrix most lasting achievements.
