Davenport,IA/August 11,1968

introduction
"Are You Experienced" (incomplete)
"Lover Man"
"Foxy Lady"
"Red House"
"I Don't Live Today"
"Fire"

time-45:00

After about 1:24 of crowd noise and tuning Jimi asks "Are you all Experienced?". Jimi abuses the Hell out of his tremelo bar in the feedback-laden intro to "AYE". This is a beautiful version,too. Around 5+ minutes into the song Jimi steers the band into a spacey jam reminiscent of "1983...A Merman I Should Turn to Be". Sadly,the last minute or so of the song is cut off.

Jimi introduces "Lover Man" as "Here He Comes".  After "Foxy Lady" comes a 12+ minute "Red House" complete with a drum solo.

"I Don't Live Today" ends oddly with Jimi quoting "Shave and a Haircut". The recording ends shortly after "Fire"

This is another typical 1968 audience tape which sounds clearer in the quiet moments but more muddy in the loud moments.
