search & destroy: the posthumous Jimi Hendrix catalog

how had i never heard cherokee mist?? like an alternate universe where jimi played in the velvet underground. incredible weird metallic sound on the guitar. hypnotic!

Found another stepping stone which is actually the best one, on the voodoo child compilation. Quite different feel to the rest and more complete than the south Saturn delta one. Just nuts how many alternative takes there are! Theres another Cherokee mist too, but quite different.

My favorite take on First Rays is the John Scannell remix:

I never found any of the other versions very satisfying -- not Cry Of Love, not the 1997 First Rays, and especially not Voodoo Soup (with a hapless drum overdub by the Knack's Bruce Gary that constantly drifts in and out of tempo). But the Scannell remix feels like canon to me.

I'd like to hear this but the links on that wayback machine capture are rapidshare... has it been reposted elsewhere?

I'd like to hear it too, though tbh the studio versions of a lot of those songs dont seem good enough.

Strongly recommend checking out stepping stone and loverman from the Fillmore east shows on spotify. If he wanted to really change his sound, post-experience, these are really great, scaled back examples of how it could have gone.
