"...a four disc box set of live performances recorded during six shows, two each night, at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom from October 10-12, 1968. The set features live versions of previously unreleased classics as well as a backstage interview with Hendrix recorded at the Boston Garden shortly after the Winterland concerts. Not only are there opportunities to compare tracks like the 15 minute "Tax Free" jam on the CD of the October 10th concert and the ten minute version on the October 11th CD. But the box set also includes three versions of "Lover Man," "Red House," "Hey Joe" and "Foxey Lady"; a couple of takes of Hendrix's version of "The Star-Spangled Banner"; and no fewer than four performances of his signature "Purple Haze." There are a couple of stellar interpretations of Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone," one of which has already been released as a single, to say nothing of appealing performances of songs like "Are You Experienced," "Manic Depression," "Spanish Castle Magic," and "Little Wing." Then you've got Hendrix putting his own spin on "Killing Floor" and "Sunshine of Your Love." The bonus disc 5 features an amateur stereo recording made of Jimi's sold out February 4, 1968 Winterland performance."
