Jimi Hendrix Experience/Sweden 9.10.1967

About a week after the Stockholm performance in September 1967 that was released this time, Jimi Hendrix and his group are holding a show in the same Swedish land called Skåne. This is an audience album recording the first stage of the two shows held there. What surprises me when I listen to it is the amazing sound quality. I’m really surprised at the freshness and clearness that I can’t believe is an audience recording from 1967, and the degree to which the sound image is on. This sound source seems to have been released in 2007 only in a semi-official release box called “HENDRIX LIVE IN SCANDINAVIA VOL. 1”, which was popular at the time, but this time, Jimi Hendrix It is based on the version recorded with the best sound quality from the master tape that was circulating in the famous “ATM” series on the Internet among traders. Moreover, the pitch, which was slightly out of order, has been precisely adjusted for this release. Overall, it is a short stage of less than 40 minutes, which is typical of Jimi during this period, and the length of the performance itself is still compact. I really regret that the recording stopped when the rare R & B cover “Mercy Mercy” that was played under such circumstances started, but the audience was quieter than in Stockholm, so this sound source is really easy to listen to. Perhaps due to the reaction of the audience on this day, which sometimes seemed to be a bit lackadaisical, the first half of the performance was less heated during the more intense songs, and the performance in Stockholm, such as “Catfish Blues”, was quite fiery. It is true that it does not come close to that. However, in “Fire”, you can hear a high-tension performance that does not disturb the audience, which is unique to Jimi and Experience at the peak of their lives. Furthermore, the performance of the famous song “The Wind Cries Mary”, which stands out even more because it is a quiet venue, is captivating. Please take your time to enjoy lively performances with a sense of realism that is different from America, where it can be noisy. In addition, “Manic Depression”, which was not featured in Stockholm a week ago, was performed, and the show was completely different from the one in Stockholm, both in terms of content and performance, and it was amazing to see that it even felt a kind of calm atmosphere.
