It’s probably not a “forgotten gem” but Burning of the Midnight Lamp is the first song that came to mind, and it’s the one that led me deeper into his musical catalog. It’s also the first song where he used the wah-wah effect.

Like a Rolling Stone from the Monterey Pop Festival, with “Bob Dylan’s grandma” in attendance

I'm not sure if this counts as forgotten but I've always been fond of this one

A good example of what direction Hendrix was heading at his untimely death. I had a bootleg of a later version (Sept 1970 I think), but can't find it online.

Because I have listened to many Hendrix songs I am uncertain which are considered forgotten gems. But some less played sags I really like are:
Third Stone from the Sun
Castles Made of Sand
I Don't Live Today
May This be Love

Freedom and Angel off Cry of Love were always two of my favorites. The Experience boxset has a lot of cool live stuff and alternate takes.

This Bold as Love instrumental from the box set is my favorite Hendrix song:
Bold as Love (instumental)
I also dig this Burning of the Midnight Lamp from the same session:

What a talent!

If you had to name the top ten most remembered Jimi Hendrix songs, those two might be on it.

Technically a Buddy Miles song, I really like "Changes" on the Band of Gypsys live album (Buddy is the drummer and singer on this track).
