Jimi Hendrix and the Experience – Scandinavia Vol.1 (6 CD Limited Edition Box Set)

[tarkus Registriert seit: 14.01.2003 Beiträge: 1,931]

Release Date: 22/10/2007 [UK]
Label: Voodoo Chile Records
Format: CD (six box set) – 6 CD Collectors Limited Edition

7 complete 1967/68 performances from Sweden and Denmark – presented together for the first time officially licensed from the estate of Hendrix’s former manager, Michael Jeffery
individually numbered, only 2000 copies world-wide.

Presented here are complete concerts sourced from amateur recordings with the exception of the 5th September live radio show which is now in improved sound quality over its previous release on Stages. What you will hear on these concerts from Sweden and Denmark is the raw energy of those early shows and the excitement of fans perhaps seeing Jimi for the first time and being blown away by the Experience. You will hear what they heard; you will become part of the audience, you will share their Experience. For us, this more than makes up for what it might lack in recording quality; we believe these tapes have adequate clarity and deserve release on their own merit. You will also hear occasional problems that Jimi faced with the mismatch of volume levels between voice and instruments due to inadequate, low-powered public address systems for his vocals and sometimes unreliable guitar amplifiers. Although on first glance the set-lists look repetitive, one has to bear in mind that Jimi never played the same song in the same way twice. He liked to keep things fresh and was a master of improvisation, hence his love of jamming.

Jimi Hendrix And The Experience – Scandinavia Vol.2 (6 CD Set)
Release Date: 5 Dec 2007
Label: Voodoo Chile Records
Format: CD (six box set)

7 complete 1967/68 performances from Sweden and Denmark – presented together for the first time in a 6 CD Collectors Numbered Limited Edition. Officially licensed from the Michael Jeffery Estate, and individually numbered, only 2000 copies world-wide.

Scandinavia had proved to be an extremely positive and fertile market for the music of Jimi Hendrix. This boxed set contains recordings from two specific tours and although there is only twelve months between the two sets of concerts captured here much had happened to Jimi between the two tours.

The 1969 tour finds Jimi and the Experience heading out on what would be the original Experience’s final tour. The second series of recordings, drawn from 1970, found the band (often billed as the Experience but featuring Jimi, Mitch Mitchell and Billy Cox) fresh from the previous day’s massive Isle Of Wight concert performing the first of these concerts in Stockholm. Jimi Hendrix however would be dead in just over two weeks after commencing this brief Scandinavian tour which followed as series of concerts in Germany that had ended in disarray. The two concerts featured in this boxed set of recordings do capture the essence of Jimi Hendrix live and certainly do not show any lessening in his talent either as a song writer or performer and for this reason these recordings are important.

Excellent, I’m struggling to find this online. Sounds like a fantastic set. I have the original version similar to this but the sound quality is limited. Still, as long as you can hear Jimi in the recording mix it will be brilliant. :D Shame there were no drug treatment centre back then. If he was alive today modern rock music could be very different…
