My absolute favorite show. Totally in control. The best of his trio lineups. Fantastic set list - something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. And when his guitar starts picking up the security radios during Machine Gun ...

    is that this? Its a good ass DVD. I have to pop it in again.

    Does he use the flying V guitar as well? I forget.

    And if so, any Hendrix dudes could breakdown the sonic benefits?

    Yes. I believe he does use the flying V for part of it.

    This and the '68 Winterland show are indeed his most mind-blowing live recordings.

    Does anyone else other than me wish that a lot of the classic recordings had been recorded a bit different? Like with the drums not stereo panned, and / or up front?

    would owning a mono mix version fix that issue?

    im no sound dude, but i think the US got the Stereo mix.

    i have too many damn versions of his stuff.

    I remember reading somewhere that the production is like that on purpose, they (meaning Hendrix' management) didn't want his records to sound anything like the R&B or soul records at the time to keep his appeal to the white rock crowd.
