Les témoignages de l'époque décrivent un concert médiocre, avec beaucoup de problèmes de sonorisation, en particulier pour la voix de Jimi.

‘Mediocre Hendrix Gala’ - 23 May, review by “Bosson”:
“Jimi Hendrix and his Experience were not at all as good as the advance reviews had told us. Jimi Hendrix' visit to Malmo had been preceded by joyful reports from earlier performances in Sweden. But for the large, expectant audience at Klubb Bongo [23 May], the left-handed negro with curly hair was a disappointment. Jimi Hendrix sings poorly - which he frankly admits. Not even the amps help his voice. As an instrumentalist he is better. After having heard Pete Townshend of The Who, we didn't think he was his equal, but is only one step below. Jimi Hendrix, gets an unusual amount out of his guitar, a solid and rich sound comes out of the speakers. And his prime gimmick – putting his teeth to the strings - was also a great triumph. But despite Jimi's superb treatment of his guitar the overall impact of the concert in Friisgatan, is that Jimi Hendrix and his Experience are three overrated gentlemen. Jimi Hendrix, Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell leave behind a disappointed audience.”
