"Sgt. Pepper's...."
"Fire"
"Hey Joe"
"I Don't Live Today"
"Voodoo Child (Slight Return)"
"Red House" (almost complete)
"Sunshine of Your Love" (almost complete)
"Spanish Castle Magic"
"Foxy Lady"
"Star Spangled Banner" (incomplete)

time-95:00

Jimi kicks off his birthday show with "Sgt. Pepper's....". He introduces "Hey Joe" as being recorded in "1763 in the Benjamin Franklin Studios".

"I Don't Live Today" is dedicated to the audience and the American Indian. The JHE stretches this one out to almost 10 minutes. "Red House" cuts off on the tape around the 14:39 mark.

About 4 minutes of stage talk precedes "Spanish Castle Magic". This 15:30 "Magic" may be the longest ever,and it features an unaccompanied guitar solo.

"Star Spangled Banner" cuts off before "Purple Haze" gets a chance to start.

Sound quality on this tape is quite rough. The performance is excellent,but it's hard to *dig in* to the show due to the bad sound.
