Reviews Customer Reviews for Stockholm Concert I WAS HOPING IT WAS THE 1967 STOcKHOLM SHOW Rating: but it is the 1969 final EXP shows. All that's missing is the 1969 TV Stockholm show when Jimi runs off the stage after that dam fool bass player says good night after they play only two songs
But at least Jimi played some great blues half bored with no vocals there. Here he is too tired for that.
Hey, back on the Lulu show his manager/damager yelled at him for playing too LONG!
This is the tired Jimi, overplayed by his management, really sick and tired of playing this same stuff every night for two years, and really sick of that dam arrogant and BAD bass player thumping mindlessly and too loud and with NO TALENT at all, the one who called him racial slurs and took no advice on how to play the songs.
This is the last of an over-experienced EXP
They should have given the man a break and a rest but that's not how a black musician was treated back then - just bleed him every night until he got no more then call him lazy and dump him.
Instead he went to live in upstate New York and play with Larry and Billy (his old Nashville band) and put his Woodstock band together, and then the Band of Gypsies (until his damager manager fired his good buddy Buddy).
But anyone who really loves Jimi cries to hear his pain and weariness in these shows.
They should have treated him right, like a football player today, like a rock star today; they coulda took better care of him, but they did not know what they had; they just thought him a cash machine who asked for no cash.
And so this is all we have, and he ain't playing nothing here.
Get the studio albums (even those got wrecked in re-issue).
Get the 1967 Stockholm show, before he got exhausted by the tour schedule they put him on for more bucks for WB (it all went to off shore mafioso accounts at Bella Godiva and none to Jimi Hendrix).
And tell me where you got it.
I would love to hear that 1967 Stockholm boot leg again, the one my kid brother wore out. I hope it is available.
But this record is just a crying shame.
Jimi lives.
I wish they'd a let him.
By the way don't expect any notes on this here.
By the way hear him work out Hear My train at the start of one of the songs.
His best tune at Berkeley a year later, along with Machine Gun.
Then he died, and it was over.
Hey, this is January 1969
Martin Luther King was shot not long earlier, and Bobby, and Nixon got the White House by default
Nobody felt much like rock'nrolln anymore
And these concerts he dedicates to the American Deserters hiding out in Stockholm.
All W had to do was walk off the TANG fantasy summer camp and apply to Harvard Bidness School
No one wanted to rocknroll
and Jimi is REAL tired here.
Hay bass player
Turn it down
Let Jimi fly free
Listen to Jimi play
This ain't Hendrix in the West
This ain't Jimi Plays Monterey/Shake! Otis at Monterey - Criterion Collection
This is not Jimi Plays Berkeley
This is not Jimi Hendrix - Live at Woodstock
This is not the excellent 1967 Stockholm show.
Here, Jimi needs a good rest.
Needs to get back to the house.
Get back home.
We all did.
