Confused? yes I am :)Jimi Hendrix Experience - The Swedish Shows
Disc 1.This is the first in a six disc series.These are concerts played
by The Jimi Hendrix Experience in Sweden between 1967 -68.All
concerts are from the lowest generation masters available.I do not
know the generations of the interviews but I can tell you that they are
very low and that they are the best I have come across in over 30
years of collecting Hendrix material.Please note that the original
cassette recording for the first source 24th May 1967, Stora Scenen,
Grona Lund, Tivoli Garden, Stockholm was transferred by the taper to
reel to reel. There was then a subsequent transfer so the all copies
originating from it should be considered second generation. There are
no master copies. Note also that the second source for this show is
inferior in every way but has been included here to complete the
set.NB this file belongs with the download that was originally listed as

Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter, Buddy Miles and other
musicians all find themselves at New York City's Scene Club in 1968.
What do you they do? They jam! Morrison is clearly wasted and sings
some interesting lyrics ("Morrison's Lament"). This is the kind of
bootleg they'll never release. Its historical, funny, and cool to put on at
parties - no one else has heard it.

sets the tone for the whole show. A very laid back and bluesy version
of Rock Me Baby follows, not at all the usual fast version. This is the
only time I can recall hearing it played in this fashion. Red House as
ever is superb. An unusual and unique show and our good fortune it
was recorded.4 August 1968 : Sam Houston Coliseum, Houston,

a few seconds in the Jimi Hendrix: Berkeley video, which is now out
on DVD.
This tape for the 1st show was transferred from a DAT clone of a 1st
gen analog tape. Any other details are unknown. The second set also
circulated as a 1st gen tape, but isnt included here since the entire
second set was released officially recently. The soundcheck is from a
different source, and its generation is "unsure". It is believed to be
either 2nd or 3rd gen, but there isnt really much certainty with that. It
was the best source we could track down, quality-wise.
1. I only used the Aud and reg "non-echo" SBD. The Chuck Wein intro
is from the echo laden RB2 boot. No video source used at all
2. Added the front of three songs. ~~ONLY HERE~~ Unique to this
show, all boot sources have at least one of three songs that have the
beginning partly missing a little. Dolly Dagger now gets 1 whole note.
Hey Baby #1 got a few minutes more and Beginnings got between 30
seconds and a few minutes depending on what you've maybe heard
already. This also has the complete end to theshow, all the way to
that psychedelic decending crazy feedback at the end.
3. I turned up Jimi's between song chat. ~~ONLY HERE~~
4. I did not speed correct at all, not needed (high quality sources
used) As a matter of fact, one of the patch/filler aud sources, is in
stereo bc I used the first pressing of the vinyl boot it was on(I forgot
the name of it).
5. Chat and Tune-ups are at the ends of each track
6. No filters used
7. It kicks ass

is. Pitch adjusted to Eb.]
notes:
- Upgrade of the Stockholm recordings from "Stockholm 31.08.1970 -
The Tony Brown Tape".
- This version of the Stockholm 1st Source is superior to both the
incomplete version released on the bootleg "Free Concert" (ftbfs:
B430) and the complete version released on the bootleg "Live in
Sweden Vol.7" (Rover 007).

Notes:
- It has not been 100% verified that the Hansson & Karlsson jam
portion included in this set is the "real deal", and that these recordings
do in fact feature Jimi Hendrix. The complete recording of the
Hansson & Karlsson jam from Club Filips, Stockholm 07.09.67
allegedly runs for 4 hr 15 min but remain unreleased / uncirculated.
The recordings featured in this set are just 12 brief samples, and
clock in at a total of a little over 16 min's. There also exists a 22:10
sample tape from this jam, but that is in fact the same 16 min tape
that's included here, merely differently indexed (just 11 tracks) and
with the addition of an extra 6:02 track pieced together from the
"original" samples as track 12.
- Quote from Jimpress 68, p.43 regarding this sample tape: "The
guitar playing can best be described as free form messing about for
much of this though it sounds like Hendrix in places, though a bit too
'modern' and 'processed'. The recording doesn't help with heavy hall
ambience. The instrumentation consists of guitar, keyboards and
drums/percussion. This is especially suspect as Jimi is alleged to
play bass during this jam !"
- Uncertainty has for a long time surrounded both the exact date for
the Scene Club recordings and the personnel featured on them. The
date has now been confirmed as 18.03.68, and personnel is believed
to be Jimi Hendrix (guitar / vocals), Jim Morrison (vocals) and Lester
Chambers (harp) plus two unknown guitarists, unknown bass and
unknown drums. Some of these may or may not have been members
of The McCoys or The Young Rascals, but neither Johnny Winter nor
Rick Derringer were among them.
- Some sources erroneously list the date for the Scene Club jam as
06.03.68 or 07.03.68.
- Some sources list the date for the jam with B.B.King as 09.04.68.

the time period May 1967 through to early 1968. Hendrix had blazed a
trail across Europe performing at many concerts where his brand of
musicianship, allied to a strong sense of showmanship drew acclaim
and respect in equally large amounts. More importantly Jimi had
played at the Monterey Festival in the summer of 1967 where he was
an unqualified success, stealing the show from bigger and more
established performers.
Gypsys This take also includes Juma Sultan on percussion. The end
of this recording segues into Earth Blues.
Stepping Stone - The basic track was laid down 3rd -7th January
1970 at the Record Plant and after much overdubbing and mixing
was completed 15th February although Jimi was not satisfied and
further work was undertaken right up to August 20th. This version has
wah wah guitar effect coming through one speaker as opposed to the
panning effect.
Bolero - Recorded 1st July 1970 with Billy Cox, Mitch Mitchell and
Juma Sultan at Electric Lady Studios. This track was also known as
Here Comes The Sun.
chalking up at his favourite New York studio, The Record Plant. It was
also thought that in his own studio there would be no time constraints
and this would ultimately make Jimi more relaxed and creative. Whilst
still not officially opened for business Jimi was regularly using the
studio as soon as the equipment was installed, thus much of the
studio material recorded in the final months of his life comes from
sessions recorded there.
Of the many sessions that took place at Electric Lady in the summer
of 1970 some of the tracks featured here such as Belly Button
Window, Freedom, Angel and Drifting would eventually become key
tracks on The Cry Of Love , instantly familiar to the many people who
own the album. The versions presented here are of course works in
progress, but the evolution of the songs (particularly Angel) can be
heard in detail over the course of the three versions featured in this
volume.
During the time that these sessions were recorded Jimi, Mitch and
Billy were also performing regularly and while the studio didn't receive
an official opening until the 26 August, Electric Lady almost became a
second home for Jimi and his creative needs with sessions usually
lasting well into the night. As befits the original idea of a double album,
Loose Ends.
Bleeding Heart (blues in C sharp) - This alternate mix comes from the
session that too place on 24th March 1970. The band, which was the
one to remain in place until Jimi's death in September of 1970,
consisted of Billy Cox on bass and Mitch Mitchell on drums. The
engineer was Jack Adams and the 2nd Engineer Dave Ragno. Only
four versions of this song were ever recorded with the 4th take
appearing on the Rainbow Bridge album. Originally recorded with an
unknown drummer and no bassist, Billy Cox later joined the session
but Mitch Mitchell's drums were recorded later at Electric Lady
studios.
Izabella (take 1) - Another take from the session listed above and
featuring the same line up which lends the song a different feel from
the version recorded with the Band Of Gypsies some four months
previously.
Blue Suede Shoes - This is the most complete version of the old Carl
Starting with the opening track Bleeding Heart. This Elmore James
song would eventually see a release almost two years after Jimi's
death on the War Heroes album although certainly recorded at around
the same time that material was being recorded for his next studio
album a popular live song for the Experience who performed it live at
The Albert Hall in 1969. This take was recorded on the 24th of March
1970 by Hendrix, supported by Cox, Mitchell and Juma Sultan on
percussion, this version is a different mix from the master with the
wah wah and vocals mixed low at the start and at the end. There is a
small drum break and some snippets of Jimi just messing around on
guitar
The next three tracks on this disc are versions of Rainy Day Dream
Away and Rainy Day Dream Away/Still Raining Still Dreaming. All
Stephen Stills and Hendrix crossed paths on a regular basis and Stills
has subsequently expressed his love for both the man and his music.
There was also the story that Jimi wanted Stephen Stills to play bass
in his band following his return from Germany in the autumn of 1970.
Although unfortunately it wasn't to be, this jam session is a small
glimpse into what they could have achieved together. Recorded
around mid May 1969 we have takes 4 and 5 of Send My Love To
Linda/ Live And Let Live Here Jimi is joined by Stills and Dallas Taylor
who had both played on the soon to be massively popular debut from
Crosby Stills and Nash. Both acts would subsequently make history
when they appeared at the legendary Woodstock festival some three
months later
The final track featured of this volume finds Jimi going back to his
blues roots and covering Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley. Both artists
held a massive influence over rock music in the late sixties and early
seventies and Jimi Hendrix was equipped better than most to put a
new spin on an old standard. Mannish Boy/ I ‘m A Man was recorded
on the 22nd April 1970 with Billy Cox on bass and Devon Wilson and
unknown guests on percussion and drums. This is a peculiar session
as three sections of the tape have been found but the whole session
is still incomplete, this has been deduced by some composites that
have been discovered that include parts that are missing from the
original tapes.
This latest volume of the In The Studio series finds Jimi relaxed and in
good form which is slightly surprising as during this period he was in
high demand and the pressure on him, both in terms of what the
public wanted but also his own personal creative aspirations, must
have been a difficult road to walk.
The opening track on this album comes from the sessions that
spawned the Electric Ladyland album although Cherokee Mist had
first surfaced during sessions for the previous album Axis Bold As
Love. Recorded on 2nd May 1968 with Jimi playing the Sitar as well
as guitar and featuring Mitch Mitchell on drums. This version is a
different take and almost a minute longer than the version contained
on the box set.
The next track entitled Jam H290 comes from the same session that
produced Send My Love to Linda/Live And Let Live which features on
Volume V of the In The Studio series. This rare jam was recorded in
mid May 1969 with Stephen Stills on bass and Dallas Taylor on
Drums.
Another song from the Electric Ladyland sessions was Voodoo Chile.
The official version released on Electric Ladyland in 1968 ran to just
over fifteen minutes. Here is a version in which, although more than
double the length of the original, do the musicians become
complacent or the energy dips The session started in the evening of
2nd May 1968 and features Jefferson Airplane bassist Jack Casady
on bass Mitch Mitchell on drums and Traffic's Steve Winwood on
keyboards
The following two tracks have been drawn from sessions that have
received scant appreciation from musicologists and Hendrix experts
alike which is surprising when you consider the amount of recordings
Jimi Hendrix made and how well these sessions were usually
documented.
The first of these is Ships Passing In The Night. This was recorded
on the 14th April 1969 Jimi with unknown musicians although the
track is often accredited to the Band of Gypsys augmented by an a
trumpeter and a pianist. The version featured here is an alternate mix.
Whilst many believe this to be a Band of Gypsys number by this time
the band had split following a disastrous performance at Madison
Square Garden and the drummer is possibly Mitch Mitchell rather
than Buddy Miles although this cannot be confirmed.
The final track featured in this volume of the In The Studio series is
Calling all Devil's Children Jam Almost no information concerning this
track exists save for the brief that Jimi Hendrix plays bass on this
track and that it was more than probably recorded at The Record
Plant at some point in 1968, possibly the same time as Look Over
Yonder. As Noel Redding receives a co-credit it would seem natural to
assume that he also took part in the recording although this cannot be
confirmed.
Delta album.
The last two recordings on this album are short takes of Pride Of Man
(Bolero) with the second take being almost one minute longer than
this first. Having moved back to New York from Woodstock Jimi was
recording at the Record Plant with the Gypsy Sons and Rainbows
band. Feeling the band was played out despite only two gigs
(Woodstock on the 18th of August and a benefit gig in Harlem on the
5th of September) he disbanded the group following a series of
sessions including the one that produced this track recorded on the
24th September 1969. A projected tour was also cancelled as Jimi
felt unable physically and mentally to perform. Shortly after, however,
Jimi would start to play with Billy Cox and Buddy Miles in what would
become the Band Of Gypsys.
Despite being drawn from the busiest period of Jimi's life bearing in
mind that Jimi was also beginning to have doubts concerning his
managerial contract with Mike Jeffery, the recordings here prove that
artistically at least Jimi was still able to create music. In fact it is
probably is desire and his ability to do this that kept Jimi on a
(somewhat) even keel during this turbulent period of his life.
- 10. Gypsy Blood (Crying Blue Rain) (Hendrix) 2:36 - 11. Sunshine Of
Your Love (Bruce/Brown/Clapton) 5:27
The sessions featured in this volume date from between January
1968 and the sessions for what would turn out to be Electric
Ladyland, the groundbreaking double album released in October ‘68
through to some of the last recordings Jimi would make in the
summer of 1970 in his own Electric Lady studios.
and November of the same year. The released version was recorded
in Nov ‘69 with the Band of Gypsies and the Ghetto Fighters line-ups
at the Record Plant.
Dolly Dagger - Another alternate mix. The basic track was recorded
on the 1st of July 1970 at Electric Lady studios. The track was then
overdubbed in mid July and again in mid August in what was possibly
one of Jimi's last studio sessions before he died in September. The
session featured Jimi Mitch and Billy with the Ghetto Fighters (Albert
& Arthur Allen) on backing vocals. Juma Sultan also features on
percussion.
This album once again proves that the recording studio really was the
place where Jimi felt at ease and capable of creating music. The
majority of the music featured here will be new to some more recent
fans of the music of Jimi Hendrix but there is plenty here for the long
time fan and the newcomer to savour and appreciate.
It has often been said that Jimi Hendrix used to sleep with his guitar
and although it is well known that he often enjoyed the company of
more nubile bedfellows, it is fair to say that Hendrix was one of the
most prolific artists of his generation. Many home recordings have
come to light in the thirty five-plus years since his death in September
1970. Most of the recordings featured in this volume come from early
1968 when Jimi was in the process of working on the follow up to Axis
Bold As Love. The third album, which was released in October 1968,
was the massively successful Electric Ladyland.
The double album was packed with Jimi's best material at the time
and almost half the tracks included in this volume of In The Studio
would go on to be more fully realised on what is now considered one
of the best rock records of the era and an album that is often cited as
being Hendrix's best work.
Whilst in New York Jimi would sometimes stay at the Drake hotel and
of course would occasionally write material while staying there.
Generally however he used his own apartment and the majority of the
material featured here comes from recordings made at that location.
The first track here is an early run through of Angel. Despite being
written in late 1967 and demoed here at the beginning of the following
year in Jimi's New York apartment the song would not form part of the
Electric Ladyland line up. Instead it would feature on Jimi's
posthumous album The Cry Of Love. This version is a straight run
through on electric guitar and Jimi's solo vocal. The performance
here finds the song already arranged and whilst missing the multi
tracking that it would obviously benefit from in the studio the song is
complete and is considered one of his best although quite why it was
not considered for inclusion on Electric Ladyland is not clear.
The next track, 1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be) eventually found
its way on to the Electric Ladyland album. This is the first of two
versions featured here and another song originally recorded as a
demo at the Drake Hotel in New York. This take was possibly
recorded in the days before the second version (recorded on the 1st
of February 1968) and while clocking in at around five minutes shorter
than the version on Electric Ladyland the arrangements are all in
place. The start of the songs finds Hendrix strumming the chords on
an un-amplified electric guitar although as the song progresses the
guitar switches to an amplified guitar although still being played softly.
The next two tracks are versions of the song Long Hot Summer. The
song which formed a part of the Electric Ladyland album is featured
here played on an acoustic twelve string with the song literally being
written while Jimi plays it and works out the guitar parts and sings the
occasional lyric. The second version stops abruptly after just under
two minutes.
Hear My Train A Comin' was a song that Hendrix returned to time and
again. He can be seen in the Experience movie performing the song
on an acoustic guitar. The Experience also worked up an extended
version of the song in Olympic Studios in early 1969. The two
versions featured here date from April 1968 and are but short
snippets of the song with both versions reaching just over one minute
in length. The lyrics in the second version are the ones that would
eventually feature on the song Voodoo Chile.
The next two tracks are two further versions of Gypsy Eyes and
whilst the versions are similar Jimi was obviously working on
something and was not happy to rest until he achieved what he heard
in his head with the second version being a refinement of the riff that
would feature in the finished song
South Saturn Delta was another song written and recorded in early
‘68 although a more polished version does exist with a full band and
brass arrangement, this try out is the basic song structure.
Whilst Jimi would spend hours in the recording studio jamming and
recording or refining ideas it would seem that he was just as active as
a home taper and many of his best material started off from basic
home recordings some of which are featured here. What they do
show is that Jimi Hendrix was an extremely prolific artist and also an
artist one capable of turning even the most basic idea or riff into
something rather special.

almost anyone in the rock business. Starting with the single Hey Joe
in the previous year, 1967 looked like being the year that Jimi Hendrix
became a huge star the world over. Hard as it is to believe these days
but Jimi Hendrix would record a string of singles and two massively
selling studio albums in 1967 as well as playing countless concerts
throughout the year including his career-altering appearance at the
Monterey Festival.
Hey Joe was of course the debut single recorded at De Lane Lea
studios in late ‘66 although, it would appear on the American version
of Jimi's debut album Are You Experienced in 1967. This version is
obviously a vocal tracking take with Jimi ad-libbing throughout and
asking early on for more of his voice to be put into his headphones
and the band lowered. A different take from the single musically the
intro being a little hesitant and the backing vocals by the Breakaways
well to the fore on this mix.
Purple Haze was another hit single and the follow up to Hey Joe.
Released early in 1967 the version we have here is an alternate take
with Jimi laying down the vocals and the musical backing dropping in
and out isolating his vocals which are again ad-libbed at times and
somewhat more forceful during this session. Towards the end of the
song you can hear a vocal overdub of Jimi repeating the phrase
Purple Haze which was dropped from the eventual single release.
Red House was a popular blues song from the Are You Experienced
album. This extended and relaxed version was more like the lengthy
workout the Experience performed during live concerts rather than
the three minutes plus version included on Are You Experienced. The
song breaks down twice and Jimi can be heard talking back to Chas
Chandler in the control room. Despite this breakdown of the song the
band still manage to lengthen this particular take to almost twice the
length of the version that originally appeared on Are You Experienced.
Takin' Care Of Business is decidedly old time and quite at odds with
the material Hendrix and the Experience were recording at the time
and they certainly do seem to be enjoying themselves. Recorded at
Olympic Studios on 4 May 1967 with Mitch Mitchell & Noel Redding.
The sax was recorded at the same session and although not
confirmed could even be Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones. The tuba,
however, was added in the ‘80s for no apparent reason.
Wind Cries Mary was the third single to come from The Experience.
This was again recorded at the studio the band favoured in the early
days, De Lane Lea, in January 1967 and featured the now established
line up of Hendrix, Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell who were well on
the way to rock stardom after just their second single and a series of
One Rainy Wish featured on the bands second album Axis Bold As
Love. Recorded by The Experience at Olympic on 3 October ‘67, this
version is an alternate mix from the released album and features
wider stereo panning which is particularly noticeable on the guitar
overdubs.
51st Anniversary came from the sessions that produced the Are You
Experienced album. The two versions here feature an almost finished
take but different from the released version. The second take is an
instrumental version that breaks down a number of times while the
band is trying to refine the arrangement.
Can You See Me is another track from Are You Experienced. However
the first version featured here is an almost nine minute instrumental
version. The original version is a mere two minutes thirty three
seconds. The second version is a different take and whilst it sounds
like a finished take is again just slightly longer than the released
version. The vocal take, however, sounds like a finished take despite
Jimi's request to do it one more time.
The final tracks featured in this volume are more out-takes from Are
You Experienced sessions. In this instance the first alternate
instrumental take of Fire remains true to the original released version.
The second take however is an extended instrumental version which
suffers a number of breakdowns before the band kick back in and
Jimi lets fly with some literally incendiary soloing.
Jimi Hendrix exploded onto the scene in 1967 and through sheer hard
work and an amazing run of singles and two breakthrough albums not
to mention a serious amount of live work ensured that his career
sped off on an elevation that was to prove both exciting and full of
highs and lows. This trajectory would ultimately end with Jimi's
premature death in September 1970 but 1967 in England was where
the journey really began.

This four-disc set has nearly every mix and take (recorded prior to
5/67) of the tracks that appeared on "Are You Experienced" (Europe
and US) and the frst 3 European singles. Vinyl, CD, and tape were
used as sources. Ben Franklin numbers are given for each track.
Outtake material from Out of the Studio, Out of the Studio 2, Olympic
Gold, and Are You Experienced The Sessions was examined, and the
best version of each take was used. This means stereo where
available. In the case of Purple Haze (4), there are 2 unique mixes, so
both were included.
This set contains the complete AYE monos released on Track and
Reprise.
Although the mixes are the same on both releases, you may hear
differences in the overall sound. Both of these are hard enough to find
in good condition that it seemed better to include both. Which you
prefer will be a matter of opinion.
This was in case people wanted to easily extract the Track mono cuts
to generate a Track mono CD. Also, the Track vinyl was used for
Remember (1) and Red House (1), even though both of these have
appeared on official CD. This was so that the complete Track release
would be included. They sound pretty good despite their checkered
past :-)
Timings given are for the songs, not for the time between CD
indexes.
