Jimi bounces back from the previous day's debacle with this excellent show. "Stone Free" starts things off with some serious energy. It segues right into the feedback intro of "Foxy Lady".  The end of "Message to Love" bleeds into a gorgeous version of "Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)". Around the 7:00 mark Jimi leaps suddenly into "All Along the Watchtower".

"Machine Gun" is dedicated to "all the people fighting for their own cause". After almost 12 minutes Jimi hits some feedback,and we find ourselves in "Spanish Castle Magic". This leads into a funky breakdown (including a "Satisfaction" tease) which morphs into a drum solo. Mitch then brings us to "Ezy Ryder". New music continues in the form of "Freedom".

A very fine 10 minute "Red House" precedes "In From the Storm". "Purple Haze" and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" are connected by a brief unaccompanied guitar solo. This 13+ minute "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" contains another solo by Mitch. After "Hey Joe" Jimi encourages the crowd to "have some fun". "Fire" wraps up this excellent show.

This is an enjoyable,above-average audience tape. It starts off sounding a bit rough,but it improves as it continues.
