Flamingo Club/Wardour Street,London,U.K./February 4,1967

"Killing Floor" (incomplete)
"Have Mercy"
"Can You See Me"
"Like a Rolling Stone"
"Rock Me Baby"
"Catfish Blues"
"Stone Free"
"Hey Joe"
"Wild Thing"

time-45:39

This one is a fairly rough audience recording. It begins with "Killing Floor" already in progress. Jimi introduces "Have Mercy" as a "top 40" R&B record in an oddly slow voice. Next up is "Can You See Me" introduced as being "in the key of F sharp".

The sound quality improves slightly as time goes on,but the recording is definitely dominated by Jimi's guitar. "Catfish Blues" does NOT contain a drum solo as it generally did at the time.

"Wild Thing" begins with a bit of feedback and contains a tease of the "Day Tripper" riff around the 3:48 mark.

This show can be found on the release pictured below.
