Jimi Hendrix Hamburg Musikhalle Ticket
Hendrix's first show took place at the Hamburg Music Hall on January 11, 1969. He played two sets to sold-out audiences. Many consider his Hamburg gig the best on the entire European tour. Many tapers and filmers showed up with hidden audio and video recording equipment to produce bootleg videos and audio of the concert. The quality of the recordings vary and available now on Youtube.
As one reviewer states, "The verses are tight, the band is right on-time... Indeed, lick for lick, change for change, figure to figure, the leads sound beautiful…. They aren't quite as spacey as they usually are. Jimi even inserts this set of chords that helps the band breakdown into their loose jam section. It's amazing. When the band rocks back in Hendrix decides to solo off some more, never returning the verse vocals. Pretty spectacular."
