If the fucked-amp squeal that constantly disrupts this show annoys you, imagine how pissed off Hendrix was. But this raw '68 soundboard tape is notable for a vicious live debut of "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" and a long free-rock intro to "Purple Haze," with Hendrix wrenching howling fury from his guitar over an improvised bass-drums riot.
