This blog's a bit of a treasure trove for anyone seeking obscure Hendrix stuff. It's hard to navigate and has loads of pop-ups and stuff but if you get past all that he's uploaded some great bootlegs.

Yeah the links are dead. It was a long time ago that I posted that. Looks like the bloke that did the blog got fed up with everyone downloading stuff and no-one saying 'thanks'. Understandable, really.
Yeah it's not bad. Reading about his (fairly uneventful) early life is a bit 'fans-only' and the author's style is a bit dry for me but I'm enjoying it. It's impeccably researched - Charles Cross seems very good at separating myth from fact - and it keeps throwing up songs he recorded early on that I've never heard of so I've been enjoying Youtubing them. If the first few chapters aren't hugely exciting, things are about to change as despite living in some shit New York hotel and getting fired from every band he's in, he's just spent a night listening to Blonde On Blonde on acid with Keith Richards' girlfriend. So I'm expecting things to pick up fairly rapidly from here on in.
