Summary
For Dick Cavett and Jimi Hendrix fans alike. this version of hear my train a-coming is pretty good. Hendrix plays it alone with dicks house band of which the drummer sounds particularly good aloneside jimi. The interviews are quite interseting although Jimi and Dick seem to have been handed different question notes. isabella is one of the best version of the song ive ever heard. Although the volume was turned down slight returnly, it still makes your body want to de-solidify as you hear it (Jimi should've whacked the volume up and really blew em away!). Very groovy. This was the perfect song to play (in 1969 at the time of the vietnam war)on live TV. I should imagine that it would have made a few proud moms and dads all teary eyed. Hair at attention and everything! This is followed up by a very charming stripped down shorter version of machine gun. Sheer poetry in motion. Just look at Mitch Mitchels face, he knows something badass is going down. These two performances are followed up by a documentary of the show which is more or less waffle. I would have given the DVD 5 stars if it was just isabella and machine gun played over and over. If you want a really great full Hendrix concert, I would recommend "LIVE at woodstock" or "band of gypsys"
