A nice audience recording for this time period, although there are a few cuts. I believe the next night’s show (where Townshend mentioned at the end that they couldn’t do anymore because they had to appear in court the next day) often had this date mistakenly attributed to it, but this is the genuine article.

lineage: audience cassette master [unknown original equipment] >
primary source: 1st gen. cassette rebuilt in the 1990’s > Nakamichi Dragon
secondary source: 1st gen. reel > unknown playback deck > CDR standalone

> Pro Tools (“nip and tuck” edits, normalization and tracking – no equalization or digital noise reduction) > AIFF > xACT (flac level 8 files with sector boundaries verified).

Since this had fallen off the tracker I thought I’d reseed it one more time before archiving it to a backup off of the drive it’s on. I think the first time I seeded this here was in 2009, and it’s been posted at least once more. This time the files are named and tagged but no changes were made to the audio content.

Recording specifics:
From the same original source as all other circulating copies of this show but this one is verified 1st generation with many problem spots seamlessly repaired. And from what I’ve heard of the many alternate versions, it’s much better sounding besides being less cut up. This is combined from a rebuilt 1st gen. cassette with splices from an older 1st gen. reel.

This show has circulated widely from higher gen. copies. The master was taped by Neil Ferris to a cassette which self destructed within a year or two of the show. Luckily first gen. cassette and reel copies were traded and survived. All the older copies that circulated were 2nd gen. or higher and had various tape tracking problems and cuts. By the 1990’s the 1st gen. cassette no longer played at all but was revived by Dave White who laboriously transferred it into a new housing. It took more than one try but the final result sounds much better than the other previous sources. It’s almost entirely complete – lots of seamless repairs were done, with splices from the older 1st gen. reel where necessary. The disc separation point was also changed, since after many tape change splices were seamlessly removed this show sounded most logical when the CD change is before “Tommy” starts.

This has a lovely warm, vibrant sound.

When I first heard the pre-FM version of this recording, I was initially impressed. That soon turned to
disillusionment with that recording…it was so sterile! The base recording has less of a ‘live’ feel than
some Talking Heads live recordings…actually one similarly sterile recording is the December 1977 San
Francisco FM recording.

No matter…this off-air tape version sounds a lot better to me – and perhaps to you too.

I was glad to find the tape again…I’m lucky to have it! Got it off someone back in the early 90’s. On
the one and only occasion that I decided to take my uncle’s dog for a walk with a Walkman, I played this
tape. Upon crossing a small bridge over a stream, the dog got excited – probably upon seeing another dog.
I stumbled, and while I didn’t fall in – the Walkman did. A friend asked why don’t I try to go back and
get the Walkman the next day…I said, well it won’t work anymore, will it? “The tape might…”, and my
friend reminded me the water was shallow.

And so it did work! My uncle laughed when I told him the story at a later date, and that the tell tale
distortion in the tape came around the ‘take me to the water’ bit in Take Me To The River! 🙂

It sounds remarkably good. Even the DJ announcer is a joy to listen to. The mild hiss and radio broadcast
helps give it an ambience and ‘feel’ the pre-FM version lack (again, in my opinion – you may disagree). Psycho Killer…actually despite its huge popularity never a big favourite for me…but here it has the bite the
frosty pre-FM version lacks!

No processing has been carried out, bar speed correcting side 1. Oddly that ran too fast, while side 2
did not – I did check carefully against the pre-FM version of this show to do this. There is the odd fault
or fade in the brightness (a bit like a long tape dropout), but I did not attempt to repair this, I thought
leave it to the experts in this case.

If this is for you – enjoy.

This is an upgrade of ATM 011-016 “Three Nights of Winter”, which
was used for the “official” release “3 Nights At Winterland”. The
sound of this compared to the 2nd Gen used for ATM 011-016 is
somewhat different. This version has more bass and it’s also
“dryer” in sound (less reverb) than the 2nd Gen version. An
earlier flawed version of this Set is also in circulation. That
Set, sometimes also known as “Winterland Raw Source” and “A Raw
Winter”, suffers from index clicks, DAT clicks and buzzes all
throughout, and was “leaked” to the general public by a mistake.
The Clean version (this) has 9 tracks on Disc 4 (11.10.68/2nd
Show), while the flawed version only has 8 (same amount of music,
just one less index mark).

The more than six hours of live music assembled here gives
Hendrix fans the first opportunity to compare The Experienceís
live performances. 2-performances per night for 3-days recorded
during the bandís temporary residence at San Franciscoís Winter-
land arena. Given that these recordings have been assembled from
a variety of different sources, the sound quality, with exception
of the last 3 tracks on Disc 3, which, as the soundboard tape had
mysteriously stopped running, have been taken from a less-than
perfect audience recording is excellent, and as usual, Jimiís
virtuoso delivery is as varied and unpredictable as ever, as are
the technical problems which were invariably the sub-text of the
majority of Hendrix concerts.

Extraordinary Archives Traded Material series of the highest
quality Hendrix recordings available in traders’ circuits. All
recordings in the ATM series are taken from the lowest generation
masters available, and they have all been digitally restored
unless otherwise indicated.
