"Hendrix amusingly introduces it in a posh English accent as "a blarst from the parst"

Artists who have the power to make you wish you'd been born into a different era are very few and far between. But I find it almost impossible to listen to a really well-mastered Hendrix live recording without wishing I'd been among the flare-clad, flyaway-collared assemblage flicking a peace sign in the general direction of the stage.

And the audio cassette version of The Jimi Hendrix Concerts is as well-mastered as they come. As the title suggests, the programme is not a single gig. The tape compiles highlights from performances in New York, San Francisco, San Diego, Berkeley and good old Londinium.
