Janie Hendrix has said they will be officially releasing Royal Albert Hall on DVD and CD in the new year.
Is that the February 24, 1969 show?

On my disc from the boxset....YES !
Find it....it's the ticket !
Bought it yesterday. Saving it for when I have the time to take it in.
Thanks for all your help!

When it gets a bit quiet...with just his vocals at one point....'his sister will'....
you can hear his amp noise some, an electronic buzzing ...but otherwise..it sounds fine...
* the date is 5-24-69 btw, in case you look for it in bootleg form.
Thanks!
So, to be perfectly clear: the last minute sounds fine then?

Thansk for all the helpful replies, guys.
Can those of you who own the Jimi Hendrix Experience 4 CD set please check this for me:
Do you notice a high pitched noise at the end (throughout the last minute of the song to be exact) of the live Red House from San Diego, 3/24/69? I bought a download of this from the 4 CD set to sample it and the noise at the end kinda ruins an otherwise superb performance. Just wondering if it's the 192 bitrate or perhaps a problem with the download? I assume you have this one, it was also on In the West. -
Junk sampling....192 vs. 1411 of a full file....
and you BOUGHT it.....
I'll never for the life of me understand this downgraded standard......it's a pity...
I sometimes buy mp3's to try stuff out. In the case of this box set, I was able to sample an entire track for 10 cents. This has helped me to confirm or avoid many recordings in the past so I do it. If I love it, I buy it. If I don't, I spend the money I saved elsewhere.
I agree that the bitrates should be much higher. One of the things some sites are doing is offering higher bitrates for more money, which is better, but if you ask me, 192 should not be the minimum. I think 320 should be the minimum, as it's pretty damn hard to tell the difference between this and the original IMO.

Dont buy an mp3 download !!! sheesh...
Why not?

I haven't purchased the box set yet but I'd say it's very much worth it. I know around Christmas time last year Best Buy put several boxes (including the Hendrix one) on sale for around $30 so you might wanna keep your eye out for more specials. Either way, I'm sure it's a very worthy investment.
Thanks, I'll keep an eye open.

Another thought about "In the West." I found this download on a Russian site and they have quite a different tracklisting than what I have read elsewhwhere:
Anyone know what to make of this?

40? This is a joke , so get it!I'm a Jimi-collector myself , and have most of his bootlegs also.I also try to see various Jimi-tribute acts , some of them are real good.

As for the box, I guess what I should have said is I have the first three studio albums, Band of Gypsies, Live at Woodstock and Fillmore 2CD. Does this box rate ahead of say the Blue Wild Angel Isle of Wight CD or the Live at Berkley CD? I know most of the In the West CD is in the box and the material is otherwise unavailable.

Could not find a Jimi thread after doing a few searches. I am very surprised to discover this, as I put him right up there with Zeppelin.
I have been enjoying much of his live stuff lately and would like to ask those of you who have the 4 CD box set "The Jimi Hendrix Experience" (the one with the purple cover) just what you think of it?
It's on sale at a local store (Virgin) for $40.

Cat Stevens is the man. So much better than many of the more respected artists in the "dude who sings with an acoustic" category.
Another exception is Bright Eyes IMO.
Teaser And The Firecat is a surprisingly strong album, every track is great.Why surprisingly?
-
Recently learned to play If I laugh, my favourite songfrom cat.
Cool. I would learn Father and Son if I had the patience. (I prefer to just sing, as it's so much more fun)
-
Cat Stevens is great...nothing to add to your statementes. He is just superb!
Yes he is. One of the very great singer/songwriters.

I've always loved his voice in TSRTS. I consider that his finest moment. He's singing lower, but he has an awesome voice in that range. In HTWWW, he's just a little too energetic, while in TSRTS he's more artistic, yet still very raw.
To me, he doesn't so much as sing as do some kind of spoken word (yes at a lower pitch) on much of TSRTS. I found it annoying at first, but luckily this wore off. Indeed, his leg of the Led Zep table was certainly weak here, but the other three were so strong that the show remains enjoyable. (Pun not intended)
For that reason, HTWWW is my preferred album.
