Jimi Hendix - 1968-02-04 - San Francisco, CA (late) (SBD)

In the winter of 1968, Jimi Hendrix returned to North America for the first time since his 1967 summer shows leading in for the Monkees! He was touring in support of his second album, Axis Bold As Love, which had been released on December 1, 1967 in the UK and in early January in the US. The album climbed to #3 on the US charts, and has stood the test of time, with Rolling Stone ranking #83 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. As most of the album’s tracks were composed using complex studio recording techniques, they did not lend themselves to being played live. Only Little Wing and Spanish Magic Castle became long term fixtures in Jimi’s set lists. This soundboard recording captures him aduring the late show at the Fillmore in San Francisco on February 4, 1968, 56 years ago today, the last of an 8 show, 4 night run in the City By The Bay, half at the Fillmore and half at Winterland.
