After almost 5 minutes of crowd noise and tuning, a female MC announces the Jimi Hendrix Experience. The band begins the show with the highly unusual choice of Traffic's "Dear Mr. Fantasy". At the 1:04 mark there is very noticable *yelping* from people near the taper in apparent recognition of the song.
"Rock Me Baby" is unusual in that it contains a drum solo and a jazz/rock interlude starting at the 6:21 mark. At around 8:50 this may be the longest "Rock Me Baby" ever.
A super-fine "Red House" clocks in around 14 minutes. After announcing "Purple Haze" as the last song,Jimi surprises the crowd with "Wild Thing".
This is a fairly enjoyable 1968 audience tape. The quieter parts of "Red House" sound very clear,but the more frantic songs tend to get muddy-sounding.
