HEAR MY TRAIN A'COMIN ….
If you love trains as much as I do, why not spend all day at Youtube Central hanging out with the obsessives down at the end of the platform …
The above video was two and a half hours long ... 16 live audience recordings of Hear My Train in chronological order 1968-1970 ... apparently now removed because of a copyright claim by SME. Who the fuck are SME and how the fuck can they possibly have a copyright claim on a bunch of 50 year-old audience recordings??
The above is a sequence of fragments of silent super 8 footage re-synced with the correct sound by an obsessive genius calling themself Jammin Jimi. This is a repost by carlygtr after Jammin Jimi's own account got shut down. I suspect this may have been after copyright complaints from the official Experience Hendrix company, where they now seem to have sold out of official Jimi Hendrix air-fresheners and diaper covers, but where you can grab an official Jimi Hendrix "They're All Bold As Love" anti-covid facemask for just $20.
I had linked to another Youtube video here by FD Reference Library, another dedicated Jimi fan who tries to clean up lo-fi audience recordings and tweaks the eq of unreleased mixes etc. His account just got shut down.
For a thoughful re-evaluation of posthumous Jimi album releases (and a shot of humour) ...
And here's an encyclopaedic database of Jimi-related information and some useful other website links ...
Glastonbury festival sometime in the 1990s.
Sold enough jimitapes to cover the cost of festival ticket and cranial lubricants.
I like to think Jimi would have been OK with that arrangement.
Now 'scuse me while I grab my special notebook.
I think I hear my train a-comin ....

If you get tired of nothing but existing maybe it’s time for a new PHAZE This is one Jimi was goin thru in Stockholm(x2), Paris(x2), Ottowa(x2) and Woburn 1967-1968 … a 12 minute sequence of preliminary soundscape passages from performances of Purple Haze.
STONE THREE ...
I found this floatin around in cyberspace. Strange beautiful. And isolated ...
Some say the one who created this was from another planet. I wish he'd stayed on ours for longer.
