Len Cnut Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 1 hour ago, DieselDaisy said: The Hendrix performance was well below his usual standard.: an experiment with a big band who had never played together before plus tuning problems and rumours of him being stoned (as the water was spiked with LSD). Only the finale, Star Spangled Banner/Purple Haze and Voodoo Chile were impressive (a fairly decent work-in-progress Izabella as I recall also). Few people remained to witness Jimi as he did not appear until early in the morning, a day late! Most people had buggered off. The best filmed concerts of Jimi's are Monterey, Berkeley and the Royal Albert bootleg - albeit the latter two suffer from eccentric editing. Atlanta is decent. Isle of Wight has tuning problems and Jimi's heart was not in it (superb 'Watchtower' though). I fiercely disagree, Hendrix was on fire i thought, Message to Love, Spanish Castle were beautiful, then he slowed it down really nice with Red House, Lover Man was a particular highlight i thought...and that big jam...I never understood the criticism of the Woodstock gig.

In a book I got Eddie Kramer was describing woodstock as practically the worst show he'd ever heard Jimi play. He said the stuff he was recording was virtually unusable.

There is a three cd bootleg, excellent sound: rehearsals on one disc, both nights. The first night was ropey. The second night will require a change of underwear. Torrent - three blank compact discs - burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have loved to have seen AIC on the Dirt tour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil's voice was still good, and Dime is one of my heroes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
