COLLECTOR’S LIMITED EDITION: 2000 COPIES ONLY.
3 NIGHTS AT WINTERLAND is an unofficial posthumous live box set by The Jimi Hendrix Experience released in 2006 by British label Reclamation. The six-disc collection documents the band's six performances at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco, California between October 10 and 12, 1968. 3 NIGHTS AT WINTERLAND is a six CD Collector's Edition, manufactured under license from the Michael Jeffrey Estate. A Limited Edition of 2000 copies worldwide. This contains 6 complete performances, over six hours of music with over 50 tracks. Unless you've heard Jimi Hendrix in concert you have never really heard him. Over three decades since the six shows – recorded over three nights in October 1968 and documented in this six-CD set – that helped define the legend of Jimi Hendrix, it’s easy to forget just how groundbreaking he truly was. Other electric guitar heroes have come and gone, feedback is now an accepted part of the instrument’s arsenal, and the extended solo is largely the domain of the muso. But, despite his death less than two years later, Hendrix endures, and even the most hardened of cynics cannot deny the power of performances.
PERSONNEL: Jimi Hendrix – vocals, guitar; Jack Casady, Noel Redding – bass guitar, backing vocals; Mitch Mitchell – drums; Virgil Gonsalves – flute; Herbie Rich – organ.
Obviously there’s none of the studio trickery here that he pioneered on his albums and which seduced fans back in the late 60s, but the dextrous fluidity of his playing, the enviable discipline of his band, The Experience and the effortlessly exuberant chemistry they shared are still extraordinary. The rawness of these performances is also impressive, the band magically keeping pace with Hendrix’s seemingly capricious fretwork despite the sense that no one, least of all Hendrix, knows where his fingers will lead him. The mind rolls with guitar lines that cannon around his songs, exploding sometimes with an extraordinary fury, at other times with unexpected tenderness. There is, of course, an inevitable masculinity to the whole sound, a flexing of musical muscles despite his between-song exhortations to free the mind. But this is offset by his sometimes-vulnerable vocal style, one that remains underappreciated and yet strangely charming. Naturally, six discs is a whole lotta Hendrix, and as an entry point into his oeuvre it’s a little excessive. But such was the nature of his shows that no two performances sound the same, and that in itself further underlines why these shows have been so widely bootlegged in the 38 years since. The beauty of Hendrix’s talent is that, however often one hears his recordings, he still retains the ability to surprise. It’s no wonder that the man is still synonymous with guitar virtuosity: no one has ever eclipsed him. Well here's a reason to have less - or more if you consider that this material is a limited edition.

ATTENTION!!! ВНИМАНИЕ! Коробочка была приобретена мною в запечатанном виде. При вскрытии обнаружилось отсутствие CD#2. Конверт есть, а диска нет. Попытки восстановить справедливость не увенчались ничем. Отсюда и цена. Sorry…
Since the late 1960's, a pimple that the record companies could never pop were unauthorized releases of live concerts and unreleased studio songs/snippits and uncensored fly-on-the wall-tapes, that became to be known as ... Bootlegs.
