| J-Card Comment | HIGH VOLTAGE! JIMI HENDRIX June 13th 1970, Civic Center, Baltimore, Maryland Hi!(voltage) This merge of Jimi's appearance at the Civic Center, Baltimore is certainly one of Jimi's finest recorded concerts of 1970. The crowd goes wild and Jimi is in good spirits. Hear My Train is nothing short of pure magic; Harry Potter EAT THAT! This is a 4 source merge but only 3 sources run simultaneously at any given time. So what do we call it?!? 4 source merge/composite... Let's call it a 3 source merge. :) About the four sources: 1st Source (stereo, VG+) 2nd Source (mono, G+ with a lot of hiss and echo) 3rd Source (mono, VG+ with lots of cuts) 4th Source (mono, VG- some cuts) 1st source contains the complete show except for the beginning of Hear My Train, which is missing 10 seconds. This source is the oldest known source and a stereo recording. Throughout the merge it stays centred. 2nd source was probably recorded some distance away from the stage since it sounds very echoey. This tape recorded the complete show without interruption. It is only used to fill the gaps of the 3rd and 4th sources. Due to it's echoey nature it was impossible to use it constantly. This is also the only source I did EQ, the hiss was too loud and did not contain any high frequency sounds. (soundfloor up to around 7000Hz) It is predominantly mixed to the left mainly filling 3rd source gaps.(only a couple of times it pans to the right) 3rd source contains a lot of small to large cuts at the same time the best sounding mono source of this concert. The squeels that accompanied every cut (tape slipping of the recording heads)were deleted and are replaced with the 2nd source. It is mixed to the left all the way through the merge. 4th source has some cuts here and there but generally okay. This source is mixed to the right throughout the merge. (sidenote: the guy that can clearly be heard shouting: "DAMN!!" at the beginning of Star Spangled Banner on the 1st source bleeds through to source 4:)) That's about it. TRACKS: 1. Intro 2. Pass It On (aka Straight Ahead) 3. Lover Man 4. Machine Gun 5. Ezy Rider 6. Red House 7. Message To Love 8. Hey Joe 9. Freedom 10. Hear My Train A Comin' 11. Room Full Of Mirrors 12. Foxy Lady 13. Purple Haze 14. Star Spangled Banner 15. Voodoo Child (slight return) Total Time: 71:10 Note: Since the oldest known source is stereo this merge offers little new in terms of stereo. But decide for yourself if this merge is an upgrade in terms of listening experience. |
