Frankfurt,Germany/January 17,1969

"Come On (pt.1)"
"Fire"
"Red House"
"I Don't Live Today"
"Little Wing"
"Foxy Lady"
"Sunshine of Your Love"
"Hey Joe"
"Purple Haze"

time-62:27

Jimi starts by explaining to the audience that much of the show will be "free-jam" oriented. A high-energy "Come On (pt.1)" starts things off right. Even Hendrix says it was "outtasight".

Later in the set is an almost 11 minute "Red House" from the "first English LP".  A tasty wah-wah segment caps off a very pretty "Little Wing".

Jimi reminds the crowd that the JHE does not play Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love" "BETTER than them......we dig the group and we dig the cats". Interestingly this version ends with an instrumental flourish and feedback rather than the usual way the band ended it.

Before "Hey Joe" Jimi introduces Mitch Mitchell,Noel Redding and himself on "backward tapes". "Purple Haze" begins immediately on the heels of "Hey Joe".

This is an enjoyable above average 1969 audience tape.
