🌹 After a 2:30 tune-up Jimi tears into the intro of "Come On (pt.1)". This version features some blistering guitar playing. After "Fire" Jimi dedicates "I Don't Live Today" to the American Indian. The intro of "Hey Joe" draws a big cheer from the audience. A fairly compact (less than 5 minutes) version of "Stone Free" shows up later in the set. Jimi thanks the crowd for showing up prior to "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)". This spirited version includes a few teases of "Cat's Squirrel" toward the end.
