QUALITY: Good to Very Good Audience show.
The into and opening chord to Wild Thing
that is on the traders tape is missing from 5-1-68 set. The
Fillmore contains excellent by Jimi and the boys and the
first perfromance of Hear My Train A'Comin.
"Electric Gypsy" by Harry Shapiro & Caesar Glebbeek
says this "Red House" is the longest Jimi ever played.
Notes from http://www.me.umn.edu/~kgeisler/680510.html
This concert features excellent performances by Jimi and the boys, including (AFAIK) the first live J.H.E. performance
of Hear My Train A'Comin (a.k.a. Getting My Heart Back Together). (It starts out with a Sunshine of Your Love teaser,
less than 30 seconds long.)
This is a great concert. The playing rocks, and the band is in a great mood. They're joking and having a lot of fun.
(After the Sunshine of Your Love teaser, Jimi jokes that he should do a song by the Monkees to balance it out.)
Fire ends with a brief Beach Boys Surfin' USA quote. The up-tempo version of Crawl Out Your Window has a funny ending
that sounds so intentional you'll swear it was rehearsed. And, of course, there are all the great solos (guitar and drum),
jams, and freaky sounds that you'd expect from the period. This was the band's first show back after more than a month of
vacation from touring. During the hiatus Jimi jammed with friends and spent some time in the studio working on Electric
Ladyland tracks like Voodoo Child and 1983...
You can tell the rest did them some good. They've definitely come back energized here at the Fillmore.
The bonus tracks are fabulous. There may be better live versions of Are You Experience out there, but there aren't many!
The sound quality on I Don't Live Today could be better, but it's an amazing performance of an amazing song.
