Jimi asks the noisy audience "Are you Experienced" to start the show. After "Fire" Jimi slows the pace down with something from the "1878 version of "Are You Experienced": "Red House". A small chunk of the first minute is cut on this tape.

Jimi mentions that he's having a very hard time hearing himself just before "Foxy Lady". "The one and only Bob Dylan" is mentioned during the intro of "Like a Rolling Stone".

The crowd goes crazy upon hearing Jimi announce "Purple Haze". A small bit of "The Star Spangled Banner" is played near the end.

"Hey Joe" is dedicated to the Village People (?) and Tim Rose. "Wild Thing" brings an end to the festivities.

As mentioned earlier,the crowd is very LOUD at this show,and the recording quality is merely average.
