Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.6/100, a mean average of 81.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

With Purple Haze, Hey Joe, Foxy Lady and Voodoo Child, it can be nothing other than a great album. Then throw in Red House and Spanish Castle Magic for good measure!
This is probably one of his single greatest shows when taken as a full set start to finish, but there are a few sloppy moments here and there (more so on disc 1). Most songs here have better performances elsewhere (except Star Spangled Banner and Foxy Lady, I'm fairly sure this has my all time favorite recording of both of those), but taken as a whole this feels like a monumental set worthy of inclusion in all the 20th century historical textbooks as a generation-defining performance. Probably the vast majority of people think of this set and think of his Star Spangled Banner performance first and foremost, but there is a *lot* of really strong material here, and the Star Spangled Banner almost becomes a side note when you really get into how good his playing is on everything else.
It is a bit sad that his estate edited out so much of Larry Lee's stuff. If you check out his song "Mastermind" on the West Coast Seattle Boy boxset you'll find it's a really enjoyable tune, and it's a shame it was cut from this official release despite being played at Woodstock. The same goes for Larry Lee's solo on "Voodoo Child," if you find a bootleg recording of it you'll find that it's not too bad of a solo really. I think Jimi would have been a bit angry at anyone editing out friends of his, but it is what it is.
Just think: Jimi wasn't entirely pleased with how this set turned out and it's still such an excellent show. Imagine what he sounded like when he left the stage feeling good about what he played!
Comparable to the monterey concert, BUT BETTER!
Jam back at the house(beginnings) and Villanova Junction are missing from the above tracklisting. Villanova Junction is the highlight for me on this album.
Greatest Live Performance EVER!
