BAND OF GYPSYS is a live album by Jimi Hendrix and the first without his original group, The Jimi Hendrix Experience. It was recorded on 1st January 1970, at the Fillmore East in New York City with Billy Cox on bass and Buddy Miles on drums, frequently referred to as The Band Of Gypsys. It was released on 25th March 1970 and contains previously unreleased songs and was the last full-length Hendrix album released before his death six months later. After his appearance at Woodstock with an interim group that included Billy Cox, Hendrix began developing new songs and recording demos. When Buddy Miles became involved, he and Cox agreed to record a live album with Hendrix. BAND OF GYPSYS still maintain the dominant role of Hendrix's guitar, but show funk and R&B influences. The two songs written and sung by Miles bear the stylings of soul music and incorporates new approaches to guitar improvisation and tonal effects. Shortly after its release, BAND OF GYPSYS reached the top ten of the album charts in the US and UK. It was as popular as his albums with The Experience. "Machine Gun" is generally regarded as the album's highlight and one of Hendrix's greatest achievements. The influence of BAND OF GYPSYS is heard in the funk rock developments of the 1970s and has been cited as an inspiration by various later rock musicians.

This is the album that Hendrix “owed” Capitol for releasing him over to Reprise Records and significantly, it isn’t a studio effort, as his Reprise albums have been. Which is not to imply that it is any better than those Experience albums. Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Miles and Billy Cox hadn’t been together very long when this session was recorded live at the Fillmore East, New Year’s Eve 1969/70, and the music shows it. It's extended jams with lots of powerful, together guitar by Hendrix, able bass by Cox, at times overbearing drums by Miles and rather lame, buried vocals by both Hendrix and Miles. The group sound is surprisingly similar to Hendrix’ old days, with the significant difference that here Hendrix really gets into his guitar playing. No more the flashy, crotch-oriented gimmickry and extended wah-wahs — here he just stands still and shows us how adept he is with the ax. The support from Cox is always inventive, but Miles’ drumming is definitely disturbing. Hendrix overcomes on pure tension alone. The problem is the vocals — all the tunes are new ones and with Hendrix’ weird poetic sensibility, catch the poem on the inside cover, it would have been a large improvement had we been presented with a little less drumming and a lot more vocal. Hendrix is not just a run-of-the mill R&B singer — his voice is just as much an instrument as his guitar. But, it’s all just potential this time out, with the one exception of the twelve-minute “Machine Gun”, dedicated to “all the soldiers that are fighting in Chicago, Milwaukee and New York and... oh, yes... all the soldiers fighting in Viet Nam”. Here the Hendrix vocal is in the forefront and perfectly matched to his most desperate, driving guitar solo ever. You can hear the sirens wailing and the entire mood, even down to Miles’ drumming, is one of confrontation and freneticism mixed in equal parts. This album is Hendrix the musician. With just bass and drum support he is able to transfuse and transfix on the strength of his guitar-work alone.
