| Notes | The Jimi Hendrix Experience Gulf Stream Race Track (Miami Pop Festival), Miami, FL, May 18, 1968 Setlist 1. Foxy Lady 2. Fire 3. Hear My Train A Comin 4. Purple Haze Length: 21mins (incomplete) Gen: SBD > ??? > CDR > wav (EAC) > shn (mkw) Quality: Excellent Soundboard (9.5), some slight tape hiss. Notes: This is a great soundboard fragment featuring the JHEXP at their best. Unfortunately it is incomplete (this is all that has surfaced) but it is still worth checking out for the excellent sound (and there is not that much excellent sounding Jimi material from early 1968 out there) and great performance. Check out the Axis for a detailed review: http://www.digitalhighway.co.uk/axis/reviews/1059.asp DO NOT CONVERT TO MP3 M. Jake Filler: Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention "Uncle Meat" remix of "Mr. Green Genes." An experiment, this, re. seeing if there's any interest in alternate vinyl mixes, etc. on SharingtheGroove. Read up on this at http://w1.858.telia.com/~u85821131/vinylvscds/uncle_meat.html , but in brief...for whatever reason, Zappa reworked Uncle Meat in several strange ways when preparing it for cd. He added the three disc-two "penalty tracks," he layered the album with reverb, and he remixed one track, "Mr. Green Genes." While the entire album sounds quite different on record, I'm not going to torrent it for obvious reasons. That said, Green Genes is an entirely alternate mix which has never been available on compact disc (and, indeed, might *never* be available on compact disc). The entire presentation is different. It's far more dynamic, Ray's vocal is largely single tracked, and I've always been suspicious of the drum sound on the remix (I think some overdubbage might've occured, but this might've just been due to processing). Whatever the case, many Zappa fans who have no access to vinyl have never heard the original version of the song. And for those who *have*, the quality of circulating rips is fairly poor; most are fairly muffled, and almost all have an MP3 generation. Consequently, I think it's a good idea to get a non-MP3ed version out there. This isn't the best vinyl rip on earth, but it's certainly adequate. Use it in your compilations! A suggested recipe: make your own CDR of Uncle Meat, losing the crappy penalty tracks on disc 2, and inserting this in its proper place. Even with the remix of Green Genes as a bonus track, you *still* come in under the 80 minute mark. Isn't that amazing? Generation: Vinyl--->CDR---->hard disk--->some CEP cleanup--->SHN. |
