5-7, 1st gen audience recording).

1st Generation Stereo Soundboard Recording (RAW unedited version)
from Silvers


This is an upgrade of ATM 011-016 "Three Nights of Winter", which was used for the "official" release "3 Nights At Winterland". The sound of this compared to the 2nd Gen used for ATM 011-016 is somewhat different. This version has more bass and it's also "dryer" in sound (less reverb) than the 2nd Gen version. An earlier flawed version of this Set is also in circulation. That Set, sometimes also known as "Winterland Raw Source" and "A Raw Winter", suffers from index clicks, DAT clicks and buzzes all throughout, and was "leaked" to the general public by a mistake. The Clean version (this) has 9 tracks on Disc 4 (11.10.68/2nd Show), while the flawed version only has 8 (same amount of music, just one less index mark).

The more than six hours of live music assembled here gives Hendrix fans the first opportunity to compare The Experience’s live performances. 2-performances per night for 3-days recorded during the band’s temporary residence at San Francisco’s Winterland arena. Given that these recordings have been assembled from a variety of different sources, the sound quality, with exception of the last 3 tracks on Disc 3, which, as the soundboard tape had mysteriously stopped running, have been taken from a less-than perfect audience recording is excellent, and as usual, Jimi’s virtuoso delivery is as varied and unpredictable as ever, as are the technical problems which were invariably the sub-text of the majority of Hendrix concerts.
