Got this years ago in a snail mail trade. The final Band of Gypsys show. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Hendrix Estate has never released this, probably because the show was something of a failure as it was aborted two songs into the set. Jimi seems a little incoherent and there were rumours that someone spiked him before he went on stage but, either way, this particular line up never played together again. Although it's short, sound is fairly good for an audience recording for the time and this is one of the more historically important Hendrix live recordings.

Enjoy!
