| J-Card Comment | This show is widely available on bootleg, but this is sourced from < BR>a superior trader's CD, made from the master tape at the correct speed and including the in-between-song chatter which most bootleg releases omit. From Chris Dixon's 30th Anniversary Series March 19, 1998 marks 30 years since the Ottawa Capitol Theatre show. Not only is this a good show, but one of the few soundboard tapes from this tour. Apparently taped by Jimi himself, it sounds excellent. It's the first complete North American show on soundboard since Monterey, I believe, at least until this rumored Feb. Winterland tape appears (except for 3 songs from Worcester, Mass, March 15, 1968). There isn't another soundboard until Miami (and it's only 4 songs), except of course for the infamous Scene Club and Cafe Au Go Go (March 17, 1968) jams. After that, Woburn (insert Twilight Zone theme...).Couple of highpoints of Ottawa: Tax Free growing longer each time out- now around 10 minutes (almost half again as l ong as DC Hilton a week before)... Red House much longer now (almost 10 min). Jazzier middle section now developing, and I believe it's the first outing for the interlude where Jimi 'slaps'(a drumstick?) the chords rather than strums them. The recording quality really shines on the guitar sound on this one- it's like sitting in front of the Marshalls and you can hear every detail and nuance of his blues technique and clean tones... Spanish Castle Magic, on the other hand, has yet to become the jamming vehicle it would be in the 69 shows. Less than 4 minutes, this is only the 5th documented performance of SCM. Jimi's voice sounds great on this- maybe he can hear himself for once because he doesn't seem to be straining and the crisp recording reveals all kinds of little inflections and joking asides that would be lost in most audience tapes... Purple Haze stretched to almost 7 minutes with free form guit ar intro and extended outro... This show's a must have and is available on a number of boots (Gone But Not Forgotten, Canadian Club, Thanks Ottawa For The Memories., Superconcert 68, others) and of course on tape! |
