Attention : certaines sources sont plus complètes. Il existe un Merge combinant source Soundboard et source "audience" d'une part, et certains pirates présentent une source Soundboard plus longue (90 minutes).
Si le Merge publié depuis rend ce pirate quelque peu obsolète, il n’en reste pas moins que "Earth Versus Space" est sans aucun doute un des inédits les plus intéressants qui soit.

Le pirate s'ouvre sur ainsi sur ce fameux Earth Versus Space (12:53). Buddy Miles lance un rythme irrésistible sur lequel Jimi nous propose une guitare rythmique qui vaut tous les solos du monde ! Groove, mais très rock en même temps. Subtil tout en étant puissant. La rythmique parfaite !!!
Son chant, largement improvisé, est très entrainant.
Beaucoup de citations (Gypsy Eyes, Keep On Moving, Machine Gun...) complètent les impros vocales.
En fait, dans une large mesure, c'est déjà du Band Of Gypsys.
Rythmes obsessionnels, échanges style questions/réponses Jimi/Buddy au chant...
Dans le genre, c'est parmi ce que j'ai entendu de mieux.
En refaisant le mix, pour moi ce titre peut sortir tel quel : c'est un brulot.

Things That I Used To Do est assez différente de la version avec Johnny Winter. Plus lente, un jeu plus relaché... Un chant lancinant... Jimi était en excellente forme vocale !
Mais au moment du chorus, là c'est une explosion, un déluge, la bombe atomique !!! Jimi joue encore plus saturé que sur les versions extrèmes de Reh House ! Argh !!! Méga pied... et STUPEUR : un fondu de fermeture en plein milieu de la géniale furie Hendrixienne  
A ce stade, toutes les hypothèses sont possibles... mais bon, ce qui est pris est pris, et ces 3 minutes 26, je les garde !

Le troisième titre est une longue Jam avec le Buddy Miles Express qui dure plus d'une 1/2 heure !
Le premier 1/3 est un peu dans le style de la fameuse Jam du 23 janvier 1970 évoquée plus haut.
Une chanteuse chante un peu The Train Kept A Rollin' avant que Jimi ne joue des thèmes qu'il développera plus amplement par la suite : Paper Airplanes (ou Power Of Soul/Power Of Love), Earth Blues. Mais aussi Hear My Train.
Vers 12', Jimi enchaîne avec Voodoo Chile (SR), avant de laisser la place à un sax puis un harmo. Ses parties de guitare rythmiques, sans égaler celles du premier titre, balancent bien (avec le bassiste, ils collent super bien).
Vers 20', Buddy reprend un chant soul sur une rythmique un peu dans le style du Morrison Lament.  
Avant que le tout soit dynamité par une rythmique à la Elmore James déménageant salement !
Passage chanté de Buddy, puis solo super saturé dans un premier temps avant que Jimi ne s'amuse comme un diable avec les rythmiques infernales dont il a le secret (reprise du solo d'harmo en même temps).
Beaucoup de citation de Cream par Jimi : Outside Woman Blues, puis Sunshine Of Your Love (en blues !).
Et là il enchaîne sur Come On (vers 25'). Solo déchainé de Jimi. Bien remixé... il y a vraiment de la matière.
A 28', il s'amuse à jouer l'hymne américain sur la rythmique !
Puis part dans un solo peu conventionnel en matière de Blues... Hé hé  
L'harmo repart en solo alors que Jimi reprend une rythmique comme seul lui sait faire. Harmo saturé à souhait... bon solo supplanté par le sax pour les deux dernières minutes (la fin est éditée...).

L'ultime titre est chanté par Buddy Miles rejoint par Eric Burdon. Sur une rythmique qui est un proto Hey Baby. Solo très saturé de Jimi avant reprise du chant par EB qui nous demande si l'on est "Stone free"...
Sympa, mais ça traîne un peu en longueur.

Conclusion :
Le Earth Versus Space qui ouvre l'album justifie à lui seul son acquisition. Il y a bien sûr des longueurs sur les Jams 3 et 4 (avec de telles durées, c'est inévitable).
Mais au bout du compte, on a tout de même l'immense plaisir d'entendre Jimi jouer d'autres titres que ceux de la tournée US 69 avec l'Experience.

Bref, vous l'aurez compris, je suis enthousiaste !

Citation :

Ayler a dit : Voici ce que donne la comparaison des durées avec le Merge :

Beelzebub Records / Merge

1. Earth Versus Space 13:00 / 14:25
2. The Things I Used To Do (The Sky Is Crying) 6:05 / 10:57
3. We Gotta Live Together 19:22 / 33:29
Feel So Good 14:01

1. Train Kept A Rollin' 4:10 / 33:02
Power Of Soul 3:50
Hear My Train A Comin' 3:41
Voodoo Child (Slight Return) 9:01
Jam/Come On & More 12:37

Bref, le Merge sonne mieux et est plus complet = Edition définitive.

Sunday 22 June 1969
Northridge, Devonshire Downs (race track), Devonshire Street & Zelzah Avenue, San Fernando Valley, California, USA
Jam - ‘Newport 69’ festival - the biggest prior to Woodstock – with Jimi – guitar & vocal, Buddy Miles – drums & vocal; Bob Arthur – bass (Mother Earth), Eric Burdon – vocal & “acrobatics”; Bonnie (O’Farrell) Bramlett [falsely aka “Sunshine”] – vocal & “acrobatics”; Tracy Nelson (Mother Earth) vocal/backing vocals; Sadie Cantrell, Irma Routen & Lady Corder - backing vocals (Mother Earth); Cornelius ‘Snooky’ Flowers & Terry Clements – sax (both Janis Joplin band, who did NOT perform at this festival. Terry was formerly in Electric Flag with Buddy); Lee Oskar – harmonica (Eric Burdon band, ‘War’?); Tom Webb (The Flock) – flute, and [an unknown black man. Possibly from Eric Burdon’s band? The Chambers Bros?] drums.

There is no record of Janis Joplin and her band (only known as the ‘Kozmic Blues Band’ after they disbanded from the title of Janis’ LP “I Got Dem Ol Kozmic Blues Again Mama!. ‘Full Tilt’ was only formed in 1970) performing at the festival, but as they were recording their KBB LP in nearby Los Angeles between the 16th and 23rd, two members of her group turned up to jam.

Jimi & Buddy prominently featured Buddy’s ‘We Got To Live Together’ (possibly written for this occasion?) No doubt an answer to the racist abuse at the Experience show two days earlier. He only featured this song once more - as the finale at his - all black artists - show at the Fillmore East with the Band of Gypsys.


Jimi –vocal & guitar, Buddy – drums & backing vocal, Bob Arthur – bass


Jimi : [Tape cut] …here is completely out of sight. We’ll go over by that way. Listen, we’re
gonna pretend we forget about everything, alive and dead, and call it Earth versus Space, all right. Here we go [checks tuning]…
Aud : [Usual shouting match “sit down!” etc. Mass rhythmic clapping]


1. EARTH VERSUS SPACE [Stone Free theme: ‘Got to keep movin’’,
this long jam includes lyrics from several songs]

Grab just what you know
We ain’t got time to go down
Ain’t got time to slow down
Got to keep movin’, now
Got to keep movin’
Got to keep movin’, chile, now, now, now, now


2. <GYPSY EYES>

Well, I realise that I’ve been hypnotised
I love your Gypsy eye-eyes
I love your Gypsy eye-eyes
I love your Gypsy eye-eyes


3. <MIDNIGHT LIGHTNING> [backing vocal Buddy Miles]

I got to keep on movin’
Make love on my dyin’ bed
I got to keep on movin’
Make love on my dyin’ bed
I got to stop cigarrette smokin’
Or else I’ll cough my lungs to death
I got to stop cigarrette smokin’
(Keep on movin’)
I’m gonna cough my lungs to death
(Oh, keep on mo-ovin’)
Hey-hey-hey etc.
(Hey-hey etc.)
Do-do-doodle-oo etc.


(Doo-de-doo-doo etc…)

I’ve forgot some words, but there ain’t no ha-ha words to say
We’re gonna look around an’ see if we can make up some words


4. < “THERE’S A WAR GOIN’ ON” > [This bears no resemblance to Red House apart from those two
words. Jimi wrote a short lyric using the line ‘There’s a war goin’
on’ although the other five lines are not used here]

I see you sittin’ there in your overhaul
Formed by a few, complete bummer
There’s a war goin’ on
Hey, baby, now
Come on down with me
(Come on down with me)
Come on down with me, child
(Come on down with me)
Come on down with me, chile
(Come on down with me)
Are groovin’ any better now
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Hey-ey, hey-yeah)

Goin’ down the red house
(Don’t go down the red house)
Goin’ down the red house
(Goin’ down the red house)
Drink some businessman wine
We’re gonna turn the tide
There’s a war goin’ on, yeah
War goin on, chile


5. < MACHINE GUN* >

Hey, machine gun
Tearin’ my body all to pieces
Said machine gun, chile
Tear my body all apart, now, now
Even though we’re only families apart

*According to Jimi this addresses at least two subjects, one is war and the other is personal struggle
“People fighting wars within’ themselves.” See song?verse? below


6. <“SOMETIMES I WONDER”? (Sounds like Devon again!)

Sometimes you make me wonder
I get the blues, and then I wonder, chile, yeah
Oh, you make me stay out late at night
Never come home, and fuss and fight
Who’s a fool, me or you?
Sometimes I wonde-er, yeah
Sometimes I wonde-er
Oh, sometimes I wonder, chile, now

Yea-eah

Is that a woman, man

Jimi : Hope you don’t mind us just makin’ up things as we go along, just. That’s what life is
about, the only thing we just write our own scrïpts that’s all [tuning] Like to-uh, see if we can do a blues in a minute. If that’s all right? We’ll sing you the blues [tuning]
? : Sing it with it…
? : Let’s get the sound right first ha-ha
Girl : Joey’s knockin’ around
Jimi : [Playing intro to song] We’re gonna try and do a slow blues, now, okay. It’s called The
Things I Used To Do
Aud : [Usual shouting match “sit down!” etc.]
Jimi : I wish I could, heh [guitar ‘says’ ‘Motherfucker’… tuning again]
Aud : [Still a shouting match “sit down!” etc.]…

7. THE THINGS I USED TO DO (Eddie ‘Guitar Slim’ Jones)

The things that I used to do-o
Lord, I won’t do no mo-ore
Lord, the things that I used to do-o
Come on, for me
Lord, I won’t do no mo-ore
Turn it louder
I used to sit and hold your hand, baby
Turn it up! Turn it up!
Cry-y-y, beg you not to go no-ow

I search all night for you baby-y
Lord, and my search would always end in vain
‘Cause I searched you out, baby

Lord, I searched all night for you
Lord, and my search would always end in vai-ai-ain
Yeah, end in vain
‘Cause I knew that all the time, baby
That you was hid out with your other ma-a-an
That’s right, yeah, that’s why I still got my guitar

[Solo]

Aud : [Applause]

8. “SLOW BLUES” (George ‘Buddy’ Miles) [quotes lyrics from THE SKY IS CRYIN’ (Elmore James)]

We-he-he-eh-eh-he-ell

Oh yeah, that’s all I ever do-o
You see I lost my sweet baby
An’ I’m just in a daze an’ I don’t know, know-know-know

Oo-oo-hoo-ooh

12. THE TRAIN KEPT A ROLLIN’ (Myron ‘Tiny’ Bradshaw, Howie Kay and Sydney Nathan)

Oh, yeah, lookin’ good
Jimi: Yeah
Hit your hands, hit your hands and stomp your feet!

Train keep a rollin’ all night long
Train keep a rollin’ all night long

You’ve got a hold on me, yes I know

Train kept a rollin’ all night
[Jimi starts playing ‘Paper Airplanes’ riff from here]
Train kept a rollin’ all night
Train kept a rollin’ all night
(All night)

You’ve got a hold on me, yes I know
Yeah

Lord, you’ve got a face on you
Get up and smile at me
Lord, gonna fight you boyfriend
Lord, he got to deal with me
And get ready
Praise the Lord

[Solo, instrumental title? CHEROKEE MIST? Guitar ‘says’ ‘Here comes the train riding the track’]

Aud: [Applause]

Where’s the train

Jimi – guitar & vocal, Bob Arthur – bass, Buddy drums, Snooky Flowers & Terry Clements – sax, Tom Webb – flute


13. PAPER AIRPLANES*

Shoot down all those sugar mammies
Lord, are they precious, no, no, no
Shoot down all those paper airplanes
‘Specially the one’s that fly you so low
Lord, I ain’t had a piece, so lo-ong
Makin’ love without a needle, let’s just say
Hey-a-hey, hey-hey-yeah-hey-hey
Hey-yeah, hey-ey-yeah

Lord, I’m goin’ back down south now
And fight the cowards way down below
All the way down in electric cotton field
Way down so low, chile
I’m goin’ down, a whole lot o’ friend here now
Well, I’m a man as everybody

* aka Power of Soul, Jimi’s big song about breaking free from hard drugs (mainly heroin) earlier titles were
‘Crash Landing’ & ‘Paper Airplanes’ (analogy to paper wraps for powder drugs - flying?) He also noted in his
memo “songs to try in studio” at # 9. Power of God --- Love to Devon


14. EARTH BLUES

Lord, I see hands
A whole lot of prayers and faces
Reachin’ up, but not qui-ite touchin’ the promised land
Hey, I see a whole lot of friendly hearts
An’ a whole lot of kind faces say
Please Lord, give us a helpin’ hand


15. GETTING MY HEART BACK TOGETHER AGAIN (aka Hear My Train A Comin’)

Hey, I went down to my home town
My old-lady don’t want me around
I said “It’s too bad, baby, you don’t want me arou-ound”
I’m goin’ on the road and be a Voodoo chile
A magic boy, yeah!
I’m gonna get off my ass and try to do somethin’ to me
I just ain’t gonna sit around and smoke an’-uh, protest
Hey-he-ey, blue haze,
Hey-hey-hey, hey-hey

I wait around the train station
Waiting for that train
To take me
Take me awa-ay
From this lonesome town
If my girl don’t want me around
Don’t want me around
I’ll leave town
And come back and be a Voodoo chile
Hey-a-hey-hey-yeah


16. VOODOO CHILD (SLIGHT RETURN)

Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And chop it down with the edge of my hand
I pick up all the pieces and make an island
Might even raise a little sand*
Hey
‘Cause I’m a Voodoo chile, Voodoo chile
Lord knows, I’m a Voodoo chile, baby

* ‘Raise sand’ - expression meaning to cause a disturbance, get angry etc.

[Solo]


17. “JAM WITH HORNS” [aka “EXPRESS HORNS JAM” & “FAST JAM”]

[Instrumental]
…


18. “I GOT TO FIND A WAY” (George ‘Buddy’ Miles)

My baby’s gone away
Got to go away
Lord, I got to find away, yeah
Find away
Don’t sleep at all
You never heard screams at night, yeah
But kee-eep o-on dyin’ down
And did that album say
You know that I’m goin’ insa-ane, yeah
Everybody say yeah
Oo-ooh
Uh-huh-oo


19. “WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT” (music: ‘Whole Lot Of Shakin’ Goin’ On’ by Jerry Lee Lewis?, different ad-
libbed lyric George ‘Buddy’ Miles)

Yeah
I said now
I’m waitin’ on my baby
Surely gonna fake a song
She said now
Some one want my baby
To surely never make a song, yeah
But she’s supplyin’ to the man
She don’t know what it’s all abou-out
It’s over, it’s over
I’m gonna testify

I’m afraid I’m gonna put it about
Yeah-yeah-yeah!
I’m gonna tell you about my baby
I’m gonna tell her what this song is all about
When she finds she’s fallen in love
She’s gonna see what I’m talkin’ about, now

[Solo/jam, quotes OUTSIDE WOMAN BLUES & SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE ([John] ‘Jack’ Bruce, Pete Brown & Eric Clapton)]


20. COME ON (PART 1) (Earl ‘King’ (Johnson)

People talkin’ but they just don’t know
What’s in my heart and why I love you so, chile
You got me flippin’ like a flag on a pole
Come on sugar let the good times ro-o-oll

[Solo/jam, quotes THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER (music: ‘The Anacreontic Song’ by John Stafford Smith)]

Un article :

Superbe topic! Les photos sont super!
Il y a contradiction sur Cornelius Flowers: sax (comme indiqué dans le texte) ou guitare (sur la pochette du disque)?
J'avais vu Lee Oskar "en vrai" avec War en 1976 ou 1977 en Allemagne. "The world is a ghetto" par War, c'est quelque chose!
Cloturant le programme, Bob Marley! (j'ai pas trop aimé...)

Je copie ici le post de nowhereman54 :

Citation :

J'ai "Hendrix plays other people's songs" et je ne connais pas l'auteur de "Sometimes I Wonder" ( 1' 23", de la jam du 22/6/69). Nat King Cole?..
D'autre part ce titre, comme "there's a war goin'on"," I feel good" "the train kept a rollin " et "I got to find a way", de la même jam, et cités aussi dans l'article ad hoc du forum , ne sont pas référençés ni dans les citations, ni dans les titres de la liste générale pour cette date.

A part "The Train Kept A Rollin" qui est déjà référencé, quelqu'un a des infos sur les autres titres ?

C'est exactement le genre de Live dont on regrette qu'il n'est pas été enregistré professionnellement. Jimi avait l'air très en forme et surtout très inspiré. On ressent vraiment l'incroyable talent qui se dégage de lui quand on entend de quel façon il enchaine les notes en total impros !!!

mais heureusement qu'il fut filmé!!!!

C'est vraiment frustrant ce fondu enchaîné dans la version dre Things (That) I Used to Do

Quel point de vue avait le gars ou la nana en bas de la scène !

Pareille
