A complete live performance by the Jimi Hendrix Experience (Noel Redding - Bass, Mitch Mitchell - Drums) in Stockholm on January the 9th 1969 (the second show rather than the weaker first show): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvuLs27yFQk - since it’s a complete performance on Youtube it mightn't stay up long due to copyright issues. IMHO Hey Joe is particularly interesting as is Red House, and an early live version of the Star Spangled Banner a few months before the more um... "feedbacky" Woodstock version. A few months later the band would split with Hendrix going on to form two other groups.

Track listing: I Don't Live Today, Spanish Castle Magic, Hey Joe, Voodoo Child (slight return), Sunshine Of Your Love, Red House, Fire, Purple Haze, Star Spangled Banner.

Thanks although it must be the least popular thread I started.

Since Mitch Mitchell died just a few years ago its sad to think all three of those guys performing the gig are now dead.

Hope you enjoyed it. I should have added that its more a looser jam than the other JH gigs I've heard recordings of so it may not be for everyone but I thought it was cool as the songs are especially different to the studio versions of the same tracks...

Thanks Anax, but I didn't listen to it. I DLed it and plan to listen to it when the time is right. I have to get into a Hendrix mood. I also have a buddy who is really into him and maybe play it next time I see him........

I did enjoy it, although I do tend to get bored with the really long jam type stuff after a certain point. As you said it was a looser type set up. I really liked the aspect that makes a concert special, which is to hear the songs that you love with different tweaks. Hey Joe was phenomenal, but that's one of my favorite songs by Hendrix anyway. Sunshine of Your Love started out to be blistering,and down and dirty which really captured me, but then it kind of meandered off into the noodling type of thing that loses my interest.
All in all it was really interesting

Schwing. Was listening to a bootleg of Hendrix jamming with Traffic last night.
Jimi was the man.

Thanks all for the feedback (excuse the pun)!

Lizi, Sunshine for your love was a cool track too. Jamming can definitely bore although some great musicians can keep that to a minimum. I reckon jamming is a real test of musicality that can be seriously painful when some bands like Led Zep did it, e.g. the 26 minute version "Dazed and Confused" off the live album "The Song Remains the same".

Popeye, I used to see Noel Redding around back in the 90's. At the time I think he lived in some part of West Cork or maybe a town called Mallow. He used to frequent a guitar shop in Cork that I worked in called Russell's Music. Wasn't great at paying his tab but money may have been tight as he reputedly didn't get much in the way of royalties! Pity there was never a chance to talk with him about the JHE days.

That would be "Sunshine OF Your Love", originated by the group Cream.

"For Your Love" was done by another group 3-4 years prior. "The YardBrits," I think it was. Or Yarbirds, maybe.

While The Yardbirds were firing out one "super guitar player" after another in Clapton, Beck, Page, here is a view of the box that Hendrix was stuffed into at that same time:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdWfdP3Ekto

(the idiot who posted this video has an arrow pointed to a right-handed bass player at the beginning of the video saying "this is Hendix." Ignore it. Hendrix is in the bandstand to the far left, just next to the drummer. Hendrix played left-handed, as did McCartney, and as far as I know only played bass {along with lead guitar, Dave Mason on the acoustic}, on the song "All Along The Watchtower").

The discerning audience will notice that; a) Hendrix was stuck with a cover band, albeit a quite good one, b) no way, no how could Hendrix dance as well as those two front guys, but he already figured that out in backing up other bands prior to this, c) note the wrist-slide-over-guitar-neck showmanship which he actually toned down for this situation, @ ~ :58, 1:58, and other points in the video, and note that as well as playing with other good musicians in live situations, he understood the value of showmanship, at least in a way that spoke to a later audience. The knockdown performance at Monterrey Pop Festival was due in no small part to this. The music performance, as such, suffered a bit, but he was going by his recent past experience that 'the audience wants a show.'

As to the above (OP) video;

No way could I listen to this all the way through anymore, I skipped through it. It feels like 3 lifetimes ago I was actually interested in this. I had at least five different Hendrix live and studio bootlegs at one time. They all got stolen. I don't miss them. I did at the time, but certainly not now. I keep being guessed as 10-15 years younger in public, not sure if my eagerness to drop what interested me 30 yrs. ago has anything to do with it or not.

All that said: that is far and away the best first two verses of Spanish Castle Magic that I've ever heard. The so-quick drop-down thing just prior to the second chorus of the song (~ 12:52 in the video) always did the "WTF?" trick on me, and that is the first live version I've heard where he did it even better than the studio version.

Fair enough I should have written "of" instead of "for" lol but I thought most would know the track is by Cream originally.

Well spotted. Couldn't see him well in the clip but he dragged his wrist across the top of the neck of the guitar at around 2:20 which is a classic Hendrix move. It's said the R&B circuit didn't appreciate his talents in the early days. I think he played a few bass parts on Electric Ladyland as he wasn't on good terms with Noel Redding.

Just play in fairly loudly through a decent audio system with spliff in hand and let the "Experience" happen...

You know how one's "the" favourite song of a band can change from one to another over time, amoungst several.

Spanish Castle Magic seems to be the one that sticks with me from Hendrix, after many others held sway at various times. That's what good bands seem to do, regarding changing your favourite at various points.

I prefer the later Hendrix to the earlier, for the most part.

Oh, what they allowed teenagers to see, in the day:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0hwCxSy9aE&feature=fvsr

Not the 'cleanest' version of this song (I had the studio album), but as through three Altec A2 speakers behind the screen, fed by Altec 1569A valve amplifiers when watching the movie, it made enough of an impression at the time.

But another other classic would be:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBF1fERpoAA

Another mix:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Abmb7wXM6Jw&feature=related

Better in some ways.

One of my brothers used to work in the Boston Garden so he got a bunch of us in for free!
Edgar or Johnny Winters (the albino) opened for him and 10 minutes into his set there was a big commotion down on the main floor and a few minutes later all the lights went on and there were a bunch of Hell's Angels fighting with another bike group and the Boston cops were wacking them with wooden billy clubs and the music just went on! lol That went on for about 15 minutes.

Makes sense, no need to disrupt the music when a few bikers are getting some sense knocked into their heads!

BTW Johnny Winters was quite the blues guitarist.

Interesting point about favourite songs. Always liked Spanish Castle Magic although its not quite a favourite.

I agree somewhat about the later material. My favourite era's are probably the 66-67 work as illustrated on the first album and early singles which had some impressive energy and incredible inventiveness. I think in a way his song writing may have improved with the songs he recorded principally in 1970 mainly for his First Rays of the New Rising Sun project. Indeed the first album released after his death "Cry of Love" is a personal favourite with tracks like In from the storm, Drifting, Angel etc. Its a pity it was deleted although most of the tracks have of course been re-released on different albums. For a live album you might appreciate the Isle of Wight 1970 gig which featured a lot of his newer material.

BTW its heresy to prefer the Alan Douglas verson of Ezy Rider. Sure its a bit brighter sounding as the mix came more than 20 years later but it loses the false fade at the end.

But ...

You missed my point about the valve amps and huge speakers in a cinema!

Many a "midnight movie" as was popular here in the states from ~ '70s onwards were played through such systems. Woodstock, Altamont, Monterrey, etc. of course were shown, but also "alternative" movies too, don't ask me to remember even 10 % of them now. Elton John's "Friends" was the theme to a movie of the same name. Movies such as "Catch 22," "The Graduate," the truly fun movie "Blowup," (the Yardbirds and Jane Birkin, all in one movie, though I did not realize the importance of the latter, but neither did she at the time), several Robert Altman movies, like "Brewster McCloud," etc.. Lots of others, but one I recall is "Harold And Maude."

Some of these latter exhibitions made the 15 yr. olds quit trying to figure out where we could touch each other and just watch the movie.

Speaking of sex and confusion: why did you Brits ban this song when it was on the airwaves in '69, and us US'ens only heard it a few times? (OK, I know that you hate the French, but aside from that):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2C98G-9rJk&feature=related

But as to the valve amps: whatever you Brits might have forgotten, I can assure you that there are many thousands of Japanese audiophile wackos, and some few US audiophile wackos that would take any of those Quad or Leak amps off your hands, anytime, iff'n you don't want them or anything.

Speaking of the Japanese, they are the ones that charge up to 20k USD for a phono cartridge, I kid you not. I told you they were audiophile wackos.

But here is a much better example of the culture:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12aLC0azql4&feature=related

She wears a school uniform in this video and others because she want's to match the attire in the cartoons she is playing the music to, but I'll have to start another thread to treat this matter properly.

She is quite special.
