16 January

๐ŸŽŠ January, 16


1967.
๐ŸŽจ The Jimi Hendrix Experience perform at 7 1/2 Club.

1968.
๐ŸŽจ Municipal Court house, Gรถteborg; Court case between 15:30 to 17:00 against Jimi Hendrix regarding the incident on 4 January. After a brief counselling, the judge established Hendrix’ fines at 80 days of salary times 40 crowns, and had his travel prohibition withdrawn. The repair of the damages costed the hotel 5,718 crowns. The party thus costed Jimi 8,918 crowns (at that time approximately UK £475). Jimi left the City Hall after signing a check for the remaining of the fines (he had already deposited 8,000 crowns at the hotel).

๐ŸŽจ London, Sound City, 22 Rupert Street, UK
Neville Chesters (JHE road manager): “Called at Sound City to see about new speakers... Went to see Mitch. We both went to Drum City, collected some new cymbals, went back to Mitch.”
๐ŸŽจ Jimi Hendrix and Gerry Stickells stay one last night at the Esso Motor Hotel, Gรถteborg.
๐ŸŽจ Noel travels by train to Folkestone.

1969.
๐ŸŽจ Meistersingerhalle Nuremburg, Germany Two Shows. The Jimi Hendrix Experience perform with Eire Apparent.
๐ŸŽจ 1st show: Introduction, "Come On (pt.1)", "I Don't Live Today", "Hey Joe", "Fire", "Red House", "Foxy Lady", "Purple Haze", "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)"
Time-56:49.
Jimi introduces Mitch, Noel and himself before heading into a lively "Come On (pt.1)". Next up Jimi dedicates "I Don't Live Today" to the American Indian and the audience. This 7+ minute version includes some intense guitar coupled with melodic soloing. A very nicely-played 14 minute "Red House" shows up later in the set. "Purple Haze" is played without the "sound painting" or "Star Spangled Banner" intro. Jimi thanks the crowd for showing up before diving into a 6:50 version of "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)". Jimi and the band seem to be in good spirits throughout this concert.
For a 1969 audience tape, the sound is pretty decent on this show. Jimi's guitar is very prominent in the mix.

๐ŸŽจ 2nd show: Introduction, "Fire", "Hey Joe", "Spanish Castle Magic", "Red House" (incomplete), "Foxy Lady", "Sunshine of Your Love", "Little Wing" ,"Voodoo Child (Slight Return)", "All Along the Watchtower", "Purple Haze"
Time-60:00.
After an intro/tuning segment the JHE busts into an energetic "Fire". "Hey Joe" is introduced as having been recorded in 1733. Jimi mentions his "pookie bear" in "Red House". Sadly, the song cuts out around 4:25. Later in the set the JHE plays a rare (for 1969) "Little Wing". Up next Jimi seems to start "Hear My Train A Comin'" but instead opts for "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)". Following audience chants for "WATCHTOWER!!" Jimi decides to play the Dylan track. This is one of only 2 known live versions played by the original JHE. "Purple Haze" brings an end to the proceedings.
This audience tape is below average in terms of sound quality.


1970.
๐ŸŽจ Juggy Sound, New York Studio Recording Record Plant, New York Studio Recording Send My Love To Linda Power Of Soul Burning Desire Jimi began the evening with Eddie Kramer at Juggy Sound. The two continued in their effort to craft a live album from the four Fillmore East performances. In the early morning hours following the mixing session, Hendrix traveled to the Record Plant to join forces with Cox and Miles for a series of promising demo recordings. Jimi efforts yielded a rough sketch of “Send My Love To Linda” which progressed into a lively, extended jam. Additionally, twelve takes of “Paper Airplanes” (which would evolve as “Power Of Soul”) and five takes of “Burning Desire” were also put to tape.
