Upon arriving onstage Jimi says "Does everybody feel alright?" in his Wolfman Jack voice. After some tuning up he treats the crowd to a very lively "Fire". Following a couple more up-tempo tunes,Jimi dives into "Hear My Train A Comin'". This nearly 10 minute version features some blistering guitar.

The guitar intro of "Machine Gun" garners applause from the audience. This version is missing a tiny segment around the 6:37 mark. It is quite a performance. "Foxy Lady" sounds as though the tape is from a different source. It's hard to tell why,but "Red House" seems short at 6:45. It may simply be a shorter version or there is an edit on the tape.

"Star Spangled Banner","Purple Haze" and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" wrap up this show.

The sound quality of this audience tape is about average for 1970.
