time-65:10

After an introduction from the MC, the JHE tunes up for about 2 minutes. A nice "sound painting" leads into "Are You Experienced". Next up is "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" which Jimi describes as "very,very straight...very funky".

"Red House" is introduced as a song "we recorded in 1793 at the Benjamin Franklin Studios". This one is a solid 9 minute version.

"Sunshine of Your Love" is played as a tribute to Cream. At this point the audience was apparently jumping into the pool between them and the stage. Jimi tries to calm the crowd by playing a mellow "Little Wing".

"Star Spangled Banner" and "Purple Haze" close out this show. This recording is about average for a 1968 audience tape.
