A great compilation, although some serious editing/sound magic was done to put it together. Most of the between-song chat is from the San Diego concert.

• All selections are equalized in volume and superimposed on a "canned" audience applause to make it sound as a single live concert. This, in turn, means that such 'transparent'/close recordings as Winterland had to be 'distanced' to minimize the difference from more distantly balanced selections (compared with the Ryko disc Live at Winterland).
• Some selections are CRUDELY edited, e.g., a minute or so into Fire there is blatant splice, clearly audible on headphones. (The Ryko Winterland 'Fire' has no such splicing, and, in fact, is a different performance altoghether.) This suggests that some original performances were much longer then what made its way onto this "concerts" CD, or that they were spliced from different recordings (e.g., 6 shows over 3 days at Winterland).
• The "bleeding heart" from Royal Albert Hall 2/24/69 has an instrumental intro that goes 3 times through the standard 12-bar sequence before Jimi starts singing (from the sountrack CD of the performance on the Timeless Treasures label). On this "concerts" cd, the third repetition of the 12-bar sequence (over a minute long) - the best of the three is EDITED OUT!
