Well, maybe you´re honest in your opinions. You seem to have lots of kind of "away from the mainstream"-opinions (the best Grateful Dead is their live material, SY have greatest era with Jim) so that was the reason of my suspicion. But of course there is no right opinions in music.
I really love the Cry Of love, Rainbow Bridge, War Heroes & People, Hell & Angels (there are great moments also in Loose Ends & Valleys of Neptune) and also those after-experience live recordings I have, but in my opinion Hendrix didn´t achieve same greatness in those studio recordings that are mostly in Cry Of Love, Rainbow Bridge & War Heroes that he achieved in Electric Ladyland. And I think it´s no use to think what kind of album First rays of the new rising sun would have been if Hendrix had lived. It would be same kind of bullshit like there has been around the Beach Boys "Smile".
