Only if you want a cheap laugh

"Complete garbage. There are some people who will put out anything Jimi ever played on just to make a buck. Jimi took a four track with him everywhere, so almost every jam was recorded. Thre are bootlegs that are a 1000 times better than this. He had an off night, and an obliterated Jim Morrison grabs the mike and screams obscenities. If you want to hear a deranged Lizard King buy this CD for a laugh. Otherwise, I reccomend you avoid it."

A poor tape of a pretty interesting jam session

"The nutshell description would be: Drunken lead singer jams with two lead guitarists in small club, hilarity ensues.This jam is actually pretty musically interesting, but totally unfocused. Jimi and Johnny Winter have some serious interplay at some points, and the rhythm section does a decent job keeping up. The key to understanding this whole thing is as such: Jim Morrison, lead singer from the doors, is present for much of the disc. He screams, yells obscenities and basically shows how much the other members of the Doors had to put up with on a regular basis. And he was the head of that group...his voice was always up in the mix and he could recite his less than stellar poetry over repetitive organ scales. In this setting, there are some LOUD guitarists and a LOUD rhythm section playing, and, at points, Jimbo is swallowing the mike in order to be heard. I can only imagine what it sounded like to be there. The disc is not great, but it is a good thing to hear Jimi and another really good guitar player playing together and how much he let himself wander when he was jamming. Morrison's vocals are pretty funny, too.If you have ten bucks and a little patience, there are some gems in this disc. If you are a Hendrix fan, you should buy it."

Die hards will enjoy this

"Yes, this album is a technical piece of crap. it was probably made from tape that somebody stole from jimi and made money off of. Wether or not this recording is legitimate, it shows jimi where he did best: late night jams at some club, probably heavily under some influence. In this one, jimi is playing above average compared to what else i've heard, and on track 4, Uranus Rock, Jim morrison comes along and starts wailing, and in the next track he screams profanities, although he is smothered by whoever mixed the CD. Also, i think one of the tracks is used twice, and one of the tracks can't possibly be by jimi. despite all the comebacks, this is a great recording, especially for the $5 I paid for it. if you're a real hendrix fan, go for it."
