"I got "Woke Up This Mornig and Found Myself Dead" (same material as The Early Years) on disc for 6 bucks and it was worthy every penny and then some. The version of Red House is great. The second guitarist, be he Johnny Winter or who-ever, not only keeps up with Hendrix, but compliments him in a most rocking manner. The recording quality ain't all that good, you really have to listen carefully to hear everything. As far Morrison is concerned, when was he not drunk? He does not scream for long, and I find I find him quite amusing. He tries to break into a Doors tune, but Hendrix will have none of it. This was probably not a recording that Hendrix ever wanted to have released; I think he siezed any chance he could to put himself on tape, no matter who he was with. If you are not a really big fan of his, you should not buy this album. If you are a big fan, then you already have one of it's many incarnations. He was really jamming that night, and having a lot of fun."
Excellent jam and versions of Redhouse, wutmfmd, and people

"this cd is very good and and is worth the jam from track 5 - 8. This album is more of a hendrix blues stuff so people who only like his most popular songs wont like it probably. A problem most people have with this album is Morisons messed lyrics, with him just rambling on about him getting some girl in the but, i find it kind of amusing but it is pretty vulgar.so all in all this is a cd for people who love jams or love blues or are collectors of Hendrix and must have everything, as i must."
