Torrent description

Here is a gem of a clip which was not used in the trippy-hippy-fest movie Rainbow Bridge. Jimi played two sets that afternoon, the latter of which found him in a particularly (even for him) creative and exploratory mood. While the first set consisted mostly of complete songs, played relatively straight, the second set featured some beautiful instrumentals interwoven with newer material that, in many cases, represented uncharted territory in a live context. These two set-openers are a great example. Dolly Dagger makes its first live appearance, having only been recorded the previous week at Jimi's brand new Electric Lady Studios. It was slated to be the first single from his almost-completed new album and was only performed once more, at the Isle of Wight festival a month later. Villanova Junction was an instrumental that Jimi had been exploring since the previous spring. Almost all previous examples of the song occurred as part of either studio jams, or live, as part of a medley. The only other complete live performance was as the set-closer at Woodstock. While the Woodstock version is mellow and ethereal, this time Jimi opens it up and really does fantastic playing over the chord changes. It's always been one of my favorite unreleased live cuts of his...

A few words about the file itself: It is in MPEG-4 format, both in the video and the audio. It was created using an H.264 encoder for the video and an MP4 AAC encoder for the audio. This allows for great quality at a relatively small bitrate and a smaller file size. It can be played with no problem by Quicktime (a free program for both Mac and Windows). Enjoy!
