I’ve never seen this footage before. I suspect the sound was synced in later from a boot recording off the board or from a source in the audience. I’m tempted to call the Manhattan phone number embedded on the video to see if they can help me out on this one. But it’s almost 6 a.m. in New York and I don’t won’t wake up the poor soul who may have inherited the number from over 40 years ago. So, let’s just dig the fact that this is Jimi Hendrix at Madison Square Garden in 1969 and, despite its technical shortcomings (edited with a chainsaw), you still feel a bit of the thrill of the “I was there” vibe.

The time code indicates it was a pro-shoot perhaps for TV. Anymore footage out there?
