An American Masters's Jimi Hendrix documentary will be airing tonight on PBS, as this article indicates. I'll just add that the performance at the Miami Pop Festival was considered something of a bridge in between Monterey and Woodstock. If it wasn't as good as Monterey, it was definitely better than Hendrix at Woodstock, in my opinion, of course. As is mentioned, the Axis: Bold As Love album had been released not too long before the Miami concert. The author of the article complains that Hendrix didn't play any Axis album songs in Miami except one: "I Don't Live Today." The fact of the matter is "I Don't Live Today" isn't from the Axis album, either. No Axis album songs were performed at the Miami show. Hendrix never liked that second album very much anyway. Rarely are there ever any songs from it in his live performances. Nevertheless, this CD is worth listening to. Overall, the songs sound fresh. There is an energy to the sound. This was before the time when Hendrix started becoming jaded and complained about his own songs, like in 1970 at the Berkeley concert when he said on stage that "Foxey Lady" was something from a cartoon, or something to that effect. At Miami, there is still a joy evident in the performance of "Foxey Lady," as well as the other songs. Maybe just as important, Eddie Kramer was there to record this concert. All Hendrix performances with Eddie Kramer recording and/or mixing sound better than ones that don't. This CD benefits from that as, for example, contrasted to the Dagger releases (really official bootlegs) that don't have him.
