| Set 3 | Disc cover says March 10, 1968 but it's May 10. Very Good quality mono recording. Belmo and Loveless' book claim that it's a mono soundboard recording but the bass isn't all that audible, making it more characteristic of an audience recording. Some edits between tracks contain audience applause grafted in from elsewhere. (you can tell because the edited-in applause is in stereo, unlike the rest of the show). The performance of Lover Man is interesting, coming as it did several months before the TTG studio sessions. At the end of the song: "Please excuse the noise you're hearing, because there's something wrong with the amplifiers. We haven't really had the chance to get them overhauled right here in America". McDermott/Kramer's book speaks of "recurring amplifier problems" during this show (p122). The group plays an instrumental of Sunshine Of Your Love for about a half minute and then stop. Hendrix jokes "Now I'd like to do a song by the Monkees...you have to keep everything balanced, right?" Then perhaps the first version of Hear My Train A Comin' (excepting the BBC sessions): "We'd like to slow it down a little bit..." (plays riffs of Hear My Train A Comin' for a couple of minutes)..."like to do a song we never played before...A thing I just wrote not too long ago, so we'd like to try to do it".Also the performance of Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window is terrific, with an unusual ending. It's also worth noting that this concert is not commonly available on many boots; this may be the best source for it. Coupled with plenty of fun between-song bantering between Jimi and the audience, and you have a pretty fun show. |
