Minor Hibbs (1/5) CDR / 1 A- View   Aud; 1st Gen - Digitally restored, Phase & Speed corrected
Notes: This is an upgrade that has been doing the rounds at JPIO and other places this summer. Generally considered to be one of Hendrix' finest performances, it has has been bootlegged several times over the years. These bootlegs have however all been missing "Wild Thing" (19), and collector's discs - including the ATM 093 "Bill Graham Presentes The Jimi Hendrix Experience" - have only featured 0:46 of the track. Although still incomplete, "Wild Thing" (19) clocks in at 3:16 here, making this set not only an upgrade in regard to generation, but also the longest and most complete version of the show to date.

Notes: Lineage: Master > Cassette x3 > Soundstudio > Shorten > SHN There are audience tapes of The Experience from 1968 and there is the one from the Fillmore. This has a superb balance of instruments and vocals and could pass for a slightly below par soundboard tape (okay part of the sales pitch to the unconverted but it really is that good). Jimi and the band are captured in extremely good spirits and it's an excellent fun show from start to finish. Known flaws: 'Lover Man' cuts in at the beginning, little music is lost hear 'Wild Thing' - end missing, cuts at

Notes: JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE "IT'S ONLY A PAPERMOON" (LUNA RECORDS) Lineage: SILVER > EAC > WAV > FLAC (via dBpower AMP, low compression) Tracklisting: 01. LOVER MAN 02. FIRE 03. FOXY LADY 04. RED HOUSE 05. HEY JOE 06. SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE / HEAR MY TRAIN A COMIN (GETTING MY HEART BACK TOGETHER AGAIN) 07. CAN YOU PLEASE CRAWL OUT YOUR WINDOW 08. PURPLE HAZE 09. ARE YOU EXPERIENCED 10. I DON'T LIVE TODAY Comments: TRACKS 1-8: Recorded at the Fillmore East, NYC, May 10 1968. 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. Bonus Tracks: TRACK 9: Col. Ballroom, Davenport, August 11 1968. TRACK 10: San Jose Pop Festival, May 25 1969.
