This is not a Jimi Hendrix concert. This is a concert by War featuring Eric Burdon. Hendrix happened to be in the audience and chose to sit in on the final two songs. War played two sets that night,and the 2nd set is the one on which Jimi played.

Around the 2:17 mark of "Blues for Memphis Slim" the taper can be heard remarking "Jimi Hendrix just come onstage!". Some of Burdon's long-winded rapping is edited by the taper. Hendrix provides some very fluid playing throughout this loose blues jam.

"Tobacco Road" contains some very lively playing by all the musicians involved.

This is a very enjoyable audience tape which contains the last known recorded sounds of Jimi Hendrix.
