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.
