Notes
Live At The Forum Los Angeles - April 25, 1970Urban legend has it that bootlegger Rubber Dubber would have a truck outside the concert hall to record the records they released, with Jimi Hendrix's Live at the Los Angeles Forum and the Rolling Stones' European boot being two of their more famous efforts before allegedly getting busted. In a world where the Grateful Dead and Phish decided to give live music away to perpetuate their respective myths, and Frank Zappa's "beat the boots" campaign no doubt inspired Experience Hendrix to legitimize these recordings on their own imprint, the last vestiges of '70s bootlegs became collector's items and exciting gray-area treasures. The sonic quality here is not very impressive, but the performance is great. Side three is titled on the disc label as if "Room Full of Mirrors" is the one long jam on the side, but "Hey Baby/New Rising Sun" and "Freedom" are part of the mammoth jam, along with a drum solo. Glimpses of what would become The Cry of Love album are here (indeed, Rubber Dubber published the first version of "Brown Sugar," available from the aforementioned Rolling Stones double disc they issued). This disc was also released on Munia, catalog #M1622, as happens with boots -- other underground distributors repackage and keep the sounds in circulation. There's a very cool "Star Spangled Banner"/"Purple Haze" 11-minute medley, close to eight minutes of "Voodoo Child," and over 77 minutes of Jimi Hendrix. The title and Rubber Dubber logo are rubber-stamped on the blank white cardboard cover. A real artifact from the day.
