You want guitar precision, listen to Jim Hall. You want perfect pitch, listen to Ella Fitzgerald. You want raw, electrifying, frightful, unruly, mesmerizing, aggressive, urgent, and occasionally brilliant gutbuckets of sound, listen to Jimi Hendrix's Monday morning Woodstock finale. Most of the masses had gone home, Jimi was nervous, his band unrehearsed, and the sound was as muddy as the grounds, but so what? In August of 1969, Hendrix's band, which he dubbed Gypsy Sun and Rainbows for this performance, was in a period of transition between the heavy psychedelic bluesy Experience and the more soulful, rhythmically dynamic Band of Gypsys. The two percussionists and a rhythm guitarist who augment Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell and Gypsy bassist Billy Cox are either mixed out by the engineer or drowned out by Hendrix's ferocious attack. Throughout the intense performance, finally restored here in sequential order and (almost, save for two Larry Lee vocals) in its entirety, Hendrix seems to touch on every musical style--from jazz to blues to funk to soul to metal, and even a few (fusion, punk) that weren't christened yet. There are crisper Hendrix shows out there, but none more explosive or more historic. --Marc GreilsamerCustomer Reviews:

one word - WOW.......2005-02-22
I don't know why the editorial review and also the little booklet say that this is not his best performance, his guitar wasn't tuned for this, or they weren't good because none of them knew what they were playing. I thought it was a awesome performance. As Jimi puts it he was just jamming. I thought that was a cool line. It was like he didn't care if the audience left or what they thought, because he was just jamming.

Woodstock The Summer Of Love With Jimi Hendrix!.......2004-09-12
Then second set is just as great with a great performence of Voodoo Chile(slight return) running 13:40). I also loved the jams titled Woodstock Improvisation, and Villanova Junction. The funny thing about the whole concert is the last song which is in my book the worst song titled Hey Joe other than that last song this performence is really good just with the three members. Larry Lee lacks being in tune for the whole concert they really cut him out on this recording the only song you really can hear his out of tune guitar is on Spanish Castle Magic. Their is a huge booklet included with the CD that explains the whole story behind the woodstock legacy. This is truely a must have Jimi Hendrix live concert!
Simply Phenomenal, A Milestone For Hendrix and Woodstock.......2004-07-31
After the legendary previous performances at 1969's Woodstock, which included bands like Sly, the Family Stone, The Who, Santana, Joe Cocker, and the newly minted Crosby, Stills, and Nash, at 9 'O Clock on August 18th, 1969, the Jimi Hendrix Experience played Woodstock's most memorable performance, and one of the greatest of all-time. Featuring the virtuoso guitar talents of Jimi Hendrix, often hailed as the best guitarist ever, amidst bad weather and rowdy crowds the Jimi Hendrix experience played their heart out for nearly 2 and a half hours, and thankfully that concert was taped, and released for Hendrix fan's enjoyment. Below you will see how The Jimi Hendrix Experience's legendary performance at Woodstock turned out..
Track Selection-
Being new to Hendrix, I was taken on an unexpected but ultimately rewarding ride, as other than Rock N Roll classics 'Foxey Lady', 'Purple Haze' and 'Hey Joe', all the rest of these tracks were new to me. Songs such as 'Hear My Train A Comin', 'Spanish Castle Magic', 'Jam Back At The House', and 'Voodoo Child(Slight Return)' are basically examples of Hendrix's Guitar Mastery, his blistering solos encapsulating the echoes of time and talent to show he was surely a guitar god. 'Izzabella', 'Red House', 'Lover Man', and 'Villanova Junction' are all bluesy Hard Rockers that showcase magnificent musicianship, and could easily have been hits. 'Foxey Lady', 'Purple Haze', 'Hey Joe', and the minor hit 'Fire' are all thankfully included here to showcase Hendrix's biggest hits, but I wish he would have played more. Overall I think the Track Selection is excellent, and couldn't have asked for it to be any better! 5/5
Sound Quality-
For a bootleg of a concert in 1969, Jimi Hendrix Experience's performance sounds outstanding! The guitar solos and riffs blare out the speakers as if you were right there in the muddy crowd at Woodstock, Hendrix's vocals are clean, crisp, and easy to hear, and the bass and drums are clearly there and are easily hearable among the more obvious guitar. Surprisingly, some of the best Sound Quality I've ever heard from a live performance! 5/5
Band Performance-
What more can I say? Jimi Hendrix is in peak form here, his blistering solos and bluesy riffs, unknown at the time still retain their unmistakeable glory over 35 years later, and the backup band, which includes the bass and drums, dishes out a legendary performance alongside Hendrix. Basically, the Band Performance is flawless, perfect, OUTSTANDING! 5/5
Crowd Interaction-
The Jimi Hendrix Experience's concert at Woodstock boasts quite a lot of Crowd Interaction, as Hendrix usually gives a few words after every song, joking and informing throughout, and the crowd shouts often to Hendrix to 'TURN IT UP!', and it all makes for a very interesting experience!
Overall, The Jimi Hendrix Experience's performance at Woodstock is unmistakenly legendary, classic and brilliant in every way, and now stands as one of my favorite Live recordings. Since I was so impressed with this, I expect to pick up many more Hendrix albums in the next few visits to the CD store!
HIGHLY RECOMMENED TO FANS OF HENDRIX, ROCK IN GENERAL, BLUES, AND ANYBODY WHO ENJOYS LIVE RECORDINGS! SIMPLY EPIC, PHENOMENOL, BEAUTIFUL, AND DEFINITELY LOUD!

Picking at its best.......2005-10-09
Great Solo Stuff - No edits or remixing.......2005-01-03
Brilliant example of solo guitar.......2002-10-31
Vignola's playing is fresh and expressive, never cloying or trite. The CD starts with a gorgeous version of Donna Lee, starting with a rubato head then moving to a rhythmic improvisation. His arrangement is rich, full of lovely voice leading. He is otherwise a master of the solo guitar, never taking us along on a single-note line too long without returning to remind us of the underlying rhythm and chord structure. He also displays impressive technique, hard to imagine how he does it, but it's not ostentatious. However, although I enjoy Misty on this CD, this version does not really bring anything new to the table.
By The Fire is an odd 23-second piece with frantic full-chord strumming. Train Ride, another shorty at 48 seconds, has a pedal tone played as machine-gun 16th notes with strums punched in intermittently without missing a stroke. This is akin to juggling an egg and a bowling ball.
Another oddity--maybe a practical joke to see who's paying attention, I don't know--the final selection, Manoir de Mes Reves, is listed as 4:01, but the selection actually lasts 6:43. At 4:01, there is a pause of 51 seconds before the music resumes, this time a different song.

Alive & Well.......2006-05-17
My favorite Mason CD is You Can't Win. Agree that the production of this one, Gypsy Blood, is a bit too 1980s, but the songwriting is top shelf as always.
Half good, half not so good.......2005-07-09
Mason Ruffner is a straight ahead rocker with a hard, in the vain of John Butcher, Dave Edmonds or Rick Derringer. This album was produced by Edmonds.
Ruffner says he is influenced by Jimi Hendrix. More like he tries to copy Hendrix's vocal styles, especially on songs like Red Hot Lover. His guitar playing is adequate but does not come close to Hendrix. On Baby, I Don't Care No More, he sounds like 10 Years After when they do rockabilly.
Ruffner is basically a one hit wonder, with Gypsy Blood getting some mild air play. It is a nice, driving rock song. But, come on, "Gypsy Blood" is such a cliche.
There are 5 enjoyable tracks on this tracks on this CD: Gypsy Blood, Courage, Runnin', Red Hot Lover and Baby, I Don't Care No More. The remaining 5 tracks are not very good songs.
So, by my rating system, 20 minutes of OK songs, this deserves 2 stars. If you really think this great and have to have it, you can always buy my copy.
Gypsy Blood.......2004-06-28
Where's the First Album ?.......2004-01-30
Its sometime around 1983-84 at the Maple Leaf bar in Uptown NO (Carollton for the strict purist). Mason is trying out his wireless guitar for the first time, and wanders out onto the street to solo while leaning on the fender of a 58 Pontiac. Mike Stanley and Willy Cole lays down the tighest rythm in uptown (and that's pretty tight), while Willy belts out backing vocals that give you shiver.
That's a long way from all the synthesizers that obscure Mason's real talents here. Why some producer felt it necessary to obscure (My god, its Dave Edmunds! How could HE do THIS to a great artist like Mason?) what Mason does best, I'll never know.
So what's the solution? Get the first album on Columbia (titled simply "Mason Ruffner", and recorded shortly after Jimmy Page came down to NO and proclaimed him "God" and Bruce came down and carried his amp). Why is this not available on CD? I'd buy it just to hear "Gravediggers" and "Gamblin man" again. He still does those songs live (at least he did four years ago, when I last saw him in Brussels, of all places) and those recordings need to be available again.
Meanwhile Mason, God bless you, how about taking some time off at your ranch outside Austin and recording that straight blues album you promised us that night in Brussels? I'm waiting for with baited breath, hoping that the guitar will jump out the speakers and grab my brain cortex like it did the first time I heard you while walking down Bourbon Street- I missed seeing Miami lose the superbowl to the Redskins that day because you were to damn good to walk away from- now how about giving us another jolt like that? And no synthesizers this time...please?

absolutely bad to the bone.......2006-07-16
Great Live Furtado.......2005-01-08
What I like; Myron Dove's strong bass. Paul McCandless' signature horn sound, weaving, sweeping and leading the group in a jazzy direction. Of course Tony's slide (acoustic and electric), although his vocal sound is weaker than on his studio recordings. Especially great is the final track, Waiting For Guiteau, with Tony on banjo and a slightly differnt line up.
This guy and this music is mature yet youthful, funky yet traditional, great yet not jaded with stardom....
There's a lot going on here.......2004-03-18
The playing is very solid. Guitar work is superb; the keyboards sound great too when thrown in.
The choice of songs is really diverse - maybe a little too diverse as it almost seems all over the board.
The music combines all kinds of genre's thrown together. So there's some brilliant folk style guitar ala Leo Kottke, there's some rock'n'roll, some bluesy-guitar, and then there's even a touch of what sounds like smooth jazz.
I have the impression that this CD will appeal most likely to adult listeners who like to go to their local coffee house and hear live "good music".
