Live Anthology #1 "After-Hours Session"

[Machine Translation] Jimi, the Rock Guitar Revolutionary! After his success in the U.K., Jimi played nightly sessions at clubs in New York City during his U.S. tour in the spring of 1968. This is an unprecedented high quality recording of the club sessions on March 7 and 17, 1968, which includes the famous Jim Morrison's appearance. The master, which is said to have been recorded by Jimi himself, has a smaller vocal and Jimi's guitar is louder due to the balance at the time of recording, but you can still feel Jimi's intense guitar work. Jim Morrison also shouts the blues on "Bleeding Heart," but the excitement gets the better of him and he finally begins to perform a series of four-letter words in a recitation style. Jimi's voice came out, "I'm recording it right now," and the way Jimi improvised with his guitar gave me goosebumps! Jimi started to play "Tomorrow Never Knows" by The Beatles. This is a rare moment captured as the two greats of the 21st century improvise and jam together. The instrumental "Little Wing" is also included in the recording. Paul Butterfield, Buddy Miles, and Elvin Bishop participate.

ロック・ギターの革命児ジミ! 英国での成功後、1968年・春の米国ツアー中にニューヨークのクラブで夜な夜なセッションを繰り広げたジミ。マニアには有名なジム・モリソンの飛び入りを含む1968年3月7日、17日のクラブ・セッションをかつてない高音質にて収録。ジミ自ら記録したとされるマスターは、録音時のバランスでヴォーカルが小さく、ジミのギターがラウドなのだが、その分、強烈なジミのギターワークを感じられる。ジム・モリソンも"Bleeding Heart"でブルースをシャウトしているが、興が乗ってきて遂には四文字言葉連発の朗読調のパフォーマンスを始める。そこにジミの"いま録音してるぜ"と生々しい声も聞こえジミがギターで即興で合わせていく様子は鳥肌もの! そのままジミはビートルズの「Tomorrow Never Knows」を弾き始める。世紀の2大巨星がアドリブでジャムを進行させていく貴重な瞬間をとらえた音源。インストながら強烈なソロが聴ける「Little Wing」も追加収録。ポール・バターフィールド、バディ・マイルズ、エルビン・ビショップ参加。
