live album by Jimi Hendrix, recorded at the Berkeley Community Theatre on May 30, 1970. Key details about this recording and the event are:


  • Performance:

  • It captures Hendrix's second performance at the Berkeley Community Theatre on May 30, 1970, during "The Cry of Love Tour" with bassist Billy Cox and drummer Mitch Mitchell.

  • Venue:

  • The Berkeley Community Theatre was the site of two Hendrix concerts on this date. Due to high demand, fans without tickets reportedly crashed the barriers to get in.

  • Recordings:

  • The sound for the show was recorded from an external truck, and to manage the crowd situation outside, the sound engineer opened the doors so those outside could hear the music.

  • Album Content:

  • "Good Karma 2" includes live versions of popular songs like "Red House," "Message to Love," "Easy Rider," "Star Spangled Banner/Purple Haze," and "Voodoo Chile".

  • Releases:

  • The complete second set of the performance has been digitally remastered and released  as "Live at Berkeley". There's also a film documenting the event called "Jimi Plays Berkeley," featuring excerpts from both concerts.

  • Historical Context:

  • The concerts took place amidst political unrest and student uprisings in Berkeley.
