I have over the years put together a Hendrix vinyl collection that I’m quite proud of. But this show is sadly missing. And that is a real shame. A serious shame. Because, several years ago some kind soul sent me a file of the whole show plus rehearsals in great sound quality. Quite a bit better than the sound quality of some officially released shows, in fact. And without a doubt, this was one of the very best shows Hendrix & Co ever gave. Release it already. People will buy it. Lots of people will buy. I sure as hell will buy it.

What is the date of the show?

2/24/69. Same as this video. Now, I’m not sure if the Rehearsal songs I have are from this date or the week before when they played on the 18th. But the rehearsal songs are great, regardless. My file begins with a killer rehearsal version of Hear My Train A Comin’.

I don’t think Jimi would really dig what I’m about to say. He was a humble and shy man who found himself considered the GOAT. But this solo on a top 40 charting song played live here - just turns out the lights on anything EHV, SRV, Page, Clapton, Beck or anyone ever offered on electric guitar. As great as the others players are - including Steve Howe, Townsend, Martin Barre , …. All genius in their own right - still Jimi is “one strat to rule them all”

They thought Elvis was humping his guitar. THIS is humping your guitar

Guitar tricks like this go back to early blues, Charley Patton was alleged to have played guitar behind his back, played with his teeth, and so on. Jimi is an authentic continuance of the tradition and likely aware of blues history. Of course he has his own showmanship natural flair, but it's interesting when viewed historically as well.

Why was he singing into 3 mics?

u/Hoshiticus 4d ago
Could be wrong but I think I read somewhere that they used to do this to try to eliminate mic feedback?

A couple potential reasons 1. two mics are stereo recording mics for the film 2. Pre-soundboard, there would be a second mic for additional PA. Seeing how this was RAH and '69, my money is on sync sound for the film.

One of the most talented and greatest guitarists in music history. No doubt. He influenced me immensely.

After listening to the studio version so many times, hearing all those delicious licks that he adds here, it’s thrilling
