Almost every time Hendrix picked up a guitar, someone was there to roll tape and capture the result. He was that good. Every half hearted practice session or jam session the man ever did was recorded and sold to the highest bidder after his death.
Amen! Reminds me of the dozens of recordings of Jaco playing "Teen Town"...Some of them just leave you thinking "WTF"?
