The cleanest copy I've seen of that footage thus far.
I have a DVD of it back home, from a higher gen video with colour issues. Some copies seem washed out and other copies seem far too warm, and mine is the latter. Mine also has sync issues, as the creator has tried to use a superior audio source whilst the visuals lag behind. I see this new version still cuts to an inferior VHS source during Foxy Lady however, so all is not fixed!
I have a real soft spot for this gig. My first Hendrix album was a cassette that had some of this gig on it and some of the pre-Experience session stuff Jimi played on. Definitely a weird mix of music, as it included a raucous version of Day Tripper with Jimi on fuzz bass alongside some of the Albert Hall cuts.
The video shows that Jimi was maybe not in the best frame of mind. He clearly loses it with Mitch for his impatient snare tapping at the beginning of Hear My Train a Comin’. There is a long meandering version of Stone Free from this gig that isn't on the video, but luckily a very explosive take of I Don't Live Today makes the cut. Jimi clearly tries to use longer, sludgy jams to try and reach some sort of level of personal satisfaction.
I would love to see a full release of this with clean visuals, audio mixed properly (not the weird panned-off and heavily reverb'd version on most releases) and maybe also the inclusion of whatever else was filmed during this period. The preceding week's gig at the Albert Hall was potentially filmed, as there is some much darker concert footage edited in. The presence of looped sections of footage and other visual aberrations, from shitty fast-panning effects to superimposed imagery and other non-concert footage, does make me question if all the gig was captured on film successfully.
