But now we've got this document which consists of more recordings from the same Fillmore gigs that the "Gypsys" album came from. And no wonder - the Gypsys were a short-lived lineup that existed for only a few months and only played about 5 gigs in total. Up until the release of this 2CD set, that was pretty much the entire recorded output by the Band of Gypsys line-up. It consisted of live recordings from a four show stand at the Fillmore East during New Year's 1970, released in album form as a way of getting out of a legal hassle with Capitol records (Jimi had unwisely signed contracts with several labels prior to hitting the big time.) The last authorized Hendrix release was 1970's "Band of Gypsys" album.
