BgigliGerade bei einem sympathischen, psychedelisch abgedrehtem Plattenladen namens Shiva Music in Tarragona, Katalonien, Spanien eine, äh, sagen wir mal semioffizielle Komplettausgabe von Jimi Hendrix‘ Rainbowbridge-Konzert bestellt, die deutlich länger und besser klingen soll als die totentrauschte Ausgabe auf Purple Haze. Schaut euch nur mal die Fotos auf deren Webseite an! Das sind Überzeugungstäter, da geht einem das Herz auf.
Offenbar diese Version:
„COMPLETE RAINBOW BRIDGE
January 2008 (Rock Of Ages)
CD 1 First set- Intro de Chuck Wein/Jimi’s Inro-tune-up/Spanish Castle Magic/Lover Man/Hey Baby/In From The Storm/Message To Love/Foxy Lady/Hear My Train A Comin/Voodoo Child (Slight return)/Fire/Purple Haze/Star Spangled Banner
CD 2 Second set – Dolly Dagger/Villanova Junction/Ezy Ryder/Red House/Freedom/Jam Back At The House/Straight Ahead/Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)/Sone Free-Hey Joe-Stone Free
Recorded live at the Rainbow Bridge Vibratory Color/Sound Experiment, Rainbow Bridge, Haleakala Crater, Maui, Hawaii – 30 July 1970
This is on the Japanese HMV site (only 1000 copies released.), announced for 2008 but it has already been seen in stock at a Paris retailer. It features four songs which were absent on the Purple Haze release „The Rainbow Bridge Concert“ of 2002. Here, there is „Spanish Castle Magic“ from the first set and „Straight Ahead“, „Stone Free-Hey Joe“ from the second. With the stage introductions aswell that’s about 20 minutes extra. This claims to be a „remaster“, so perhaps better sound than the PH release.
To improve the movie soundtrack, Mitch Mitchell had overddubbed drums on some tracks. Two overdubbed tracks have been released officially, „Hey Baby/In From The Storm“ on the MCA 2000 box and „Foxy Lady“ on the „Voodoo Chile“ double CD compilation.“
