Nice video on easytree.org. The JHE performing live in my own neighborhood!
I have spent a lot of time in Flushing Meadows park , which is a decaying, at times futuristic, remnant of 2 world's fairs. But I never knew that The JHE (as well as the Doors, and the Who) had performed there. Note: they also do "The Star Spangled Banner". Here's the rest of the description from easytree:
JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE
"THE NEW-YORK ROCK FESTIVAL"
SINGER BOWL, FLUSHING MEADOWS PARK, QUEENS, NEW-YORK, USA
Lineage: 16mm FILM > ??? > VHS > MPEG
Video Size: 352x240 (1638kbps)
Length: 0:23:16
This originaly silent colour 16mm footage has had a soundtrack added from the audience recording of the concert. Unfortunately the footage is not complete for each song so there are sections where the screen 'blacks out' while the soundtrack continues. During "Are You Experienced" Jimi breaks a string and, unable to re-tune his guitar, he places it on the floor and plays it with his foot while he straps on another before swapping the instrument lead!!! The recorder is front of the stage and at least on stage, incredible that he wasn't stopped by the JHE crew!!! Quality is great for that kind of document through bit grainy ,and shaky at some point. Definitely historical stuff!!!
* JIMI'S ARRIVAL ON STAGE (from a different source, probably same recorder)
