• CD SDBRD 9.1 DVD EX Pro rare footage of the concerts. This is an excellent set and it is nice to have it all put together in one place.
  • Aud 7.6 - Large stadium sound with that telltale reverby sound but really pretty clear with just a touch of tape saturation that doesn’t hurt too much thankfully. You can get into this one.
  • Aud 7.4  - Lo-Fi sound to be sure but the upside is that it’s not a sludge wall of sound mess here. Guitar is reasonably clear and louder than everything else by far as it sort of cuts right through this tapes’ audio spectrum. Drums peak through the haze next followed by distinguishable bass notes, and Jimi is remarkably clear as far as hearing every word he sings. Let your ears adjust to the narrow bandwidth and you are going to enjoy this show a lot more. It has many good qualities to offset a lack of sonics. Less loud songs shine through the clouds.
  • Pro Studio 9.6 - A great collection with pretty much the most essential stuff out there.

  • Aud 8.3 - Now Hendrix collectors all know that good quality 68 tour recordings are in short supply, so when they pop up, well it’s a no-brainer…so we have two no-brainers here for you. Both are very decent, and the Vancouver in particular is very cool in both sound and performance.
  • Pro Studio Quality 9.8 The BEST collection you can find for the money. Put together by people who wanted to give you only “the goods” and not just endless noodling or naked mixes. Fantastic and intoxicating!
  • Aud 8.2 - At times this really shines, at times a little crowded too, but really a wonderful piece of history. One of the better audience tapes of the time period for sure.
  • CD 1 Aud 8.2 Nice version here, must be a very low gen tape source. CD 2 Aud 8.3 I like this recording a lot, it’s a touch overloaded but you hear a very realistic sound, pretty close to what you may have heard standing close to the mains. Maybe a little bit of tape saturation (not distortion, two different things!), otherwise this one is very fun to hear putting you right in the middle of it all.
  • CD 1 Aud 6.8 This one is pretty rough, but if you got Vol. 1, than this set completes the Texas picture (with the exception of the Houston gigs).  CD 2 Aud 7.2
  • Aud 7.2-7.5 - A fluctuating rating because I can hear the potential for this tape as it depends on what he is playing where it is average and where it is pretty decent. Tape noise is a factor, and that can be removed (modern technology). Otherwise, Jimi is present, especially his singing.
  • Aud 8.9 - This was probably recorded on a reel to reel, who knows it could have even been Jimi’s machine? Very good quality!
  • Aud 6.9 - Not an impossible one, for instance, vocals and guitar are here, although in a not-so-hi-fi form. That being said, the guitar bombastics in this show are second to none. He’s really letting it all fly, so I figure he was getting a good sound from his backline and he was in a terrific mood. Fiery show and worth getting for that alone.
