The Gig at Lorensberg Cirkus, Gothenburg, Sweden
Ingmar Gianzellius (Fan) said: "Jimi played of his old several songs from his records, but in a completely different way. He transformed them into fragments, references and springboards. They are the platform from which he jumps into the world of total sound.....The guitar rarely sounds like a guitar, but instead like an organ, a choir, an electrical apparatus or a cello. He played the strings with his hands, his stomach and teeth".Chas Chandler: "It was a dire concert. You could just see there was trouble with the band. There was friction, it wasn't together, it just didn't work.

 Gerry Stickells: “Noel was getting frustrated because he wanted to play guitar. Since there were only a handful of us out on the road, he could talk to only so many people".
