A couple of reviews back was LIVE AT CLARK UNIVERSITY. Recorded March 15, 1968, it is five musical tracks of The Experience at work during their 1968 tour and interviews of the group. Flash forward four days, to March 19 and you'll find the band, across the border, in Ottawa, Canada, continuing what was a tour that ended as 60 concerts in 60 days.
LIVE IN OTTAWA features some fine material, including a 10 minute plus ' Tax Free ' from the second show that night. Again the recording is not the greatest, but what maybe lost in the lack of high-fidelity is over come by the performances heard. This album is a wonderful treat for the ears and the mind. The only problem comes after Jimi's intro to ' Wild Thing ' when the tape runs out on the rest of the performance. But most everyone knows how that song ended anyway. Recommended as a solid triple, down the line.
In late 2009, Dagger added three tunes from the first Ottawa show ( never before bootlegged ) and placed them on their LIVE 1968 PARIS / OTTAWA release. I'll talk about them when we reach that review.
