Band of Gypsys 2 is a posthumous live album by Jimi Hendrix released in October 1986. This is the second time producer Alan Douglas went with Capitol Records for a Hendrix release (The first being the live mini LP "Johnny B. Goode"). Though the title suggests that all songs were performed by the Band of Gypsys, there are actually only three tracks on the album which feature this band. The other songs come from Hendrix's performances at the 1970 Atlanta International Pop Festival on July 4, 1970, and the Berkeley Community Theatre on May 30, 1970. This release was deleted from the Capitol records catalogue after it was found out that "Foxy Lady" and "Stop" were lifted from a videotape of the January 1, 1970, Fillmore East show (Producer Alan Douglas did not have access to the master tapes at the time). Also a very limited run of side 2 was pressed accidentally with alternate tracks.

Famous quotes containing the words band of and/or band:
“Thou blind man’s mark, thou fool’s self-chosen snare,
Fond Fancy’s scum and dregs of scattered thought,
Band of all evils, cradle of causeless care,
Thou web of will whose end is never wrought;
Desire! desire, I have too dearly bought
With price of mangled mind thy worthless ware;”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
“Firm, united, let us be,
Rallying round our Liberty;
As a band of brothers joined,
Peace and safety we shall find.”
—Joseph Hopkinson (1770–1842)
