At The Royal Albert Hall, February 24, 1969
THE PERFORMERS: Jimi Hendrix (guitar, vocals) / Noel Redding (bass) / Mitch Mitchell (drums) / Dave Mason (guitar) / Chris Wood (flute) / Kwasi 'Rocky' Dzidzournu (bongos)
The performance at the Royal Albert Hall lasted about 45 minutes but was absolutely overwhelming anyway because it was so fresh, spontaneous and innovative. By 1969 the initial coherence and joy of playing together had dwindled to a noticeable degree in the "Experience." It was in part due to personal problems between Jimi and bassist Noel Redding (whose musical tastes were never fully in harmony with Jimi's but more limited to typical 60's Brit Pop). The main problem however was the way the management handled the Experience and forced them to constant touring while Jimi wanted to devote more time to creating new music in the studio and by getting new inspiration through jamming with other musicians from different backgrounds. So his frustration grew and the drug use along with it. That frustration was evident in many live performances from early 1969 onwards. However this performance at the Royal Albert Hall was clearly one of the better - maybe one of the best shows - of 1969. Jimi's playing had developed a lot since the start of the Experience and his singing too was very strong and confident in this show. This show was highlighted by an unusual quantity of high class blues performances, including a stellar version of "Bleeding Heart" never filmed anywhere else, great versions of "Red House" and "Hear My Train A'Comin'", a fine lyrical "Little Wing", great psychedelic rock songs, especially "I Don't Live Today" and "Voodoo Child S.R." and a successful jam with parts of Traffic (especially Chris Wood on flute) on "Room Full Of Mirrors", also not filmed anywhere else. So this is a successful and important Hendrix show.
