Band of Gypsys 2 is a posthumous live album by American rock musician Jimi Hendrix, released in October 1986 by Capitol Records. This was the second time producer Alan Douglas supervised a Hendrix record for the label, the first being the live mini LP Johnny B. Goode, which was released earlier the same year.
In a contemporary review for The Village Voice, music critic Robert Christgau gave Band of Gypsys 2 an "A–" and said he preferred it over the original Band of Gypsys (1970) record because it lacks the "brotherhood bromides" that were on that album's second side. He added that the versions of classic Hendrix songs on this record's second side "sound a lot fresher now than they would have fifteen years ago, and not just because pressing techniques have taken such a leap". Paul Evans gave the album three-and-a-half out of five stars in The Rolling Stone Album Guide (1992).
All tracks written by Jimi Hendrix, except where noted.
