That version of Voodoo Chile was just not that good.

From Mitch Mitchell's book "The Hendrix Experience" -

" When I came to remixing it, I discovered that only 8 out of the 16 tracks had worked at any one time.

The gig, at least from what I've seen on film, was a complete bloody shambles, although we did actually enjoy it."

The audience was grouped together according to their star signs!

That's a rather iconic looking white guitar he has there.

Quite iconic for a lefty.

Amazing how a garden variety run-of-the-mill Olympic White strat can be just so iconic.  Nothin to see there.

Playing in the open air anywhere in Hawaii can be very challenging, the weather changes from minute to minute, I wonder how many times his equipment got rained on before he even played. I think guitarist in his era collected much fewer axes, specially compared most players collections now. Everytime I have played outdoors here it was always under shelter, dealing with the elements was always a challenge. Jimi's raw edge was always present and expected, we didn't expect his performances to sound like the studio. This was a performance event for those who were lucky enough to be there.

 

This was in a Pavilion on the Bay Front in Hilo during a storm with sideways rain, I was getting blown around and had to put my back to the storm, everything was wet.
