I bought the new Jimi Hendrix Experience cd at BCD yesterday for
$13.99. This is only available on cd. The first authorized mixdown
from the multitrack recordings on to a digital 24 track, Digitally
mixed and mastered. This was the famous Winterland concerts. Oct
10,11 and 12th of October in the year of 1968 in beautiful San
Francisco California.
The cd is over 70 minutes of excellent dynamics and clarity for
that old of a recording. They even give a copy of the original poster
promoting the concert.
I haven't listened to the whole cd yet but what I have heard I
am really impressed with. Billy Graham introduces the Experience
and then they start off with one of my favorites Fire. They play
a great set of songs. Almost all the classics are there from the first
album and even some surprizes like a live version of Manic Depression.
There is an instrumental version of Sunshine of your Love which
I think is the only available version. Jimi dedicates it to the
cream which had just broken up. I will list the whole set of songs for
everyone to see.
This cd makes you feel like you are there.
1)Prologue
2)Fire
3)Manic depression
4)Sunshine of your love
5)Spanish Castle Magic
6)Red house
7)Killing floor
8)Tax free
9)Foxy lady
10)Hey joe
11)Purple haze
12)Wild thing
13)Epilogue
If you can only own one live recording of Jimi this should be it.

up, has anyone seen Axis : Love Is Bold on CD ?

re .0
Sounds like a good disk, I'm going to have to get a copy.
I remember Bill Graham talking about Jimi's performing in
"A Film about Jimi Hendrix". He said that for one of the
shows he told Jimi to cut out the showmanship and just
play guitar - he went on to say that Jimi played one of most
incredible shows, came backstage and asked Bill if he was
satisfied, then put every trick (playing w/ his teeth etc.)
into the last song of the show.
Does the CD say which night each of the songs were recorded?

There is nothing stating which night each song was recorded from
but I don't think any were from the same nights that are on Jimi
Hendrix The Concerts.

| 704.7 | Where has Winterland been hiding? | AQUA::ROST | His vorpal blade went snicker-snack | Thu Apr 16 1987 12:13 | 22 |
As far as the nights of the recording of the Winterland CD,
it is culled from three consecutive nights...I don't have the CD
to verify the dates but October 10-12, 1968 rings a bell.
The recording is amazing considering its age. Very good dynamics,
but the bass is muffled (more due to the style then in vogue then
the recording). The drums are crisp, but of course lack that modern
cannon-shot sound.
The best thing about it is the length, 72 minutes is a long album.
The worst thing about it is that it shows what a lame bassist Noel
Redding was. Check out "Red House" for a new outlook on white boys
playing the blues.....
The real question is where the hell these tapes have been for so
long? Jimi only recorded four albums before he died, with "Cry
of Love" in the can, that comes to five. Since he died, we got
"Rainbow Bridge", "War Heroes", "Isle of Wight", "Crash Landing",
"Midnight Lightning", "Nine to the Universe", "Jimi Hendrix Concerts",
"Jimi at Monterey", "Band of Gypsies 2", not to mention dozens of
quasi-legal stuff like "Experience Soundtrack", etc.
