Jimi Hendrix w/ John McLaughlin - 1969-03-25 - New York, NY (STU/FLAC)


(Studio FLAC)

Jimi Hendrix - Complete McLaughlin jam
Here's the complete Hendrix jam with John McLaughlin. I got this in a trade, I've never heard it in better quality. To fill out the disc I included the jam with Johnny Winter. Quality is nice on that one too, just a little bit hiss. Nothing has been officially released. The last track of the Winter jam was released on "Lifelines", so that's not included. To me it sounds like Mitch Mitchell, not Buddy Miles, is playing on the final part of the McLaughlin jam. "Plug your ears" gives the following line-up for the Winter jam: Johnny Winter, Hendrix, Steve Stills, Dallas Taylor. Eddie Kramer's book gives the following line-up: Johnny Winter, Hendrix, Steve Stills, Buddy Miles, Billy Cox 
On the first tracks there are three guitars and one bass player.

Zakir Hussain- tabla

Cheryl and Lynette- sruti boxes 

Notes: 
This is a version of this recording that I compiled from two sources. I think we now have the complete recording/performance. 

SOURCE 1 (labeled as 3/9/77): Most of this is taken from an unknown audience > ? > CDR source. This source was apparently missing the last 30 second of t3 and the last 17 minutes of t4. 

SOURCE 2 (labeled as 3/3/77): In September 2012, taperchuck3 posted this source, with detailed lineage, at Traders Den. This source was missing t2, and also had cuts between some tracks. 

Both sources sounded similar (clearly from the same original source recording), but I liked the tone of source 1, even though it has a little hiss (hey, it gives it character). So I kept all of source 1 (mainly because the first 3 tracks flowed with nothing missing, no cuts between tracks). Source 1 cut off around the 45 minutes mark (usually the limit of one side of a 90 minute cassette tape). Therefore, Source 1 was missing the last 30 seconds of t3, which I spliced in from source 2. Also, source 1 was apparently missing the last 17 minutes of t4, which I spliced in from source 2. 

The correct date is March 9, because McLaughlin announces that it was Zakir's birthday. 

Enjoy, because this really is one of THE best quality Shakti live recordings that exists. The quality really is excellent and the venue sounds intimate. I can say this with confidence having recently compared the quality of all of the live Shakti recordings I had in order to get rid of some and trim down my CDR collection...

Notes:
Awesome performance from the Miles Davis Sextet, featuring John McLaughlin on this special occasion. His playing really seems to set the band on fire, and his riffing on especially "It's About That Time" is worth the download alone. Sound quality is very good for an audience recording. Ripped from bootleg CD, from the Legendary Collection Series. Although some of the tracks are incomplete, I have yet to find a complete version of this concert.
