Jimi 1969 - Back To Back - #1: In early 1969, Jimi Hendrix, after spending a year based in the US, temporarily moved back to London, where he moved in with girlfriend Kathy Etchingham, living in her rented Brook Street flat. Hendrix and the Experience immediately launched a tour of Scandinavia, Germany, and France. Then in February, they played 2 sold-out concerts at London's Royal Albert Hall on February 18 and February 24, 1969. The 2nd of those 2 shows was posted last year on this blog. No one knew at the time, however, that these would be the last ever European shows for the line-up of Hendrix, Mitch Mitchell on drums and Noel Redding on bass. By June, tensions between Hendrix and Redding would result in the bassist being replaced in the band by Billy Cox. This soundboard recording captures the original Experience during that final tour through Europe, on January 9, 1969, 45 years ago today, in Stockholm. The recording brings you the early show - stope back later today for the late show., which is part 2 of our Back To Back entry.

These shows are certainly among the best preserved Hendrix live recordings, but performance-wise, they are among the worst. Jimi is totally uninspired (jet-lag? something else?), and the Stockholm crowd is polite to a fault. Check out YouTube clips from the early show for proof. Of course, if you're a fan, you'll need this, but if you're a newbie, there are much better Jan-June '69 recordings out there, even if they're lesser quality.
I like Spanish Castle Magic ,as Jimi said prior to the set, it had been 6 weeks since they played, he does some jamming out on this tune. Nice post. thanks!
Glad you enjoyed Pig Street, my good friend.
That was a nice surprise, having both shows in the same file. I had the late show from the Godfather release, which has been posted at several sites. But not the early show. Thanks!
