Jimi is joined by Buddy Miles & Billy Cox in the making of this album which was recorded ‘Live’ at Fillmore East New York.
Band of Gypsies is a tremendously organic, moody creature to invite into the ears. Going from intense, climactic moments of intensity to distorted, minimal suspense, Gypsies runs the gamut far, far away from Jimi's more wry, gritty material like "Hey Joe" or "Highway Chile." As if the social tumult of racial strife and an unwilling war had been swallowed by Jimi's guitar and released again by his fingertips, Gypsies' atmosphere is introspective, regretful, frustrated, and angry. The cries of protest from a man whose words were his music.
Perhaps the most fantastic aspect of this record is the crowd. Though the tempo often changes to silence only excepting a lightly tapped hi-hat or tremblingly picked guitar, the silence in the rapt Fillmore East captures the power of the performance. If silence is golden, the crowd has paid Jimi, Buddy and Billy the highest ransom to express themselves to the fullest, and the favor is returned.
