This was the American debut of the JHE. After the first couple songs,Jimi decides to "get down to business" with "Like a Rolling Stone". He forgets some words and calls attention to it during the song.

The set  goes along nicely,although Jimi seems to be rushing a bit between songs. It's possible he was excited about the "Wild Thing" finale. This moment of setting his guitar alight and smashing the Hell out of it has been well-documented in popular culture.

The entire excellent soundboard recording can be found on the official 2007 release. (pictured below)
