Jimi Hendrix

The live recording of "Changes," performed by Jimi Hendrix on March 25, 1970, at the Fillmore East, took place shortly after the release of the "Band of Gypsys" album. This live album was recorded during a series of performances by Hendrix's new band, which consisted of 'Band of Gypsys' members Buddy Miles and Billy Cox. The album was significant as it marked a shift in Hendrix's music style, moving towards a more soul and funk-influenced sound, differing from the psychedelic rock of his earlier work. Interestingly, the "Band of Gypsys" album was released on a limited basis and was one of the last records Hendrix released during his lifetime. Following the release of this album, Hendrix would face increasing pressures and challenges that would culminate in his untimely death later that year. The performance of "Changes" showcases his innovative guitar work and emotional depth, indicative of the evolution he was undergoing as an artist during this period.
