Jimi Hendrix Cry Of Love Band Norman, Is That You Norman? NEW POST - FLAC!

Live at The Fieldhouse, University of Oklahoma, Norman Oklahoma, May 8, 1970 (second show)


The "Cry Of Love" band played two shows at the University of Oklahoma. Thankfully the second show was recorded by a fan, Lee Agnew, who snuck in a tape recorder. This show took place four days after the Kent State shootings that killed four students protesting the Vietnam War. While Hendrix was not in the same league as Phil Ochs in the anti-war movement, he was socially aware.

On this evening, Hendrix charged into Machine Gun with a powerful interpretation of this heavy tune.

I ain't afraid of your mess no more, babe
I ain't afraid no more
After a while, your cheap talk don't even cause me pain,
So let your bullets fly like rain

The crowd loved it. This show was like a tribute to fallen comrades. There's a strong sense of purpose here. Hear My Train A Comin' and Message To Love followed before Jimi settled down to play his popular blues Red House and then close the evening with Star Spangled Banner, Purple Haze, and Voodoo Child (Slight Return).

The sound of this recording is a bit distant but still clear and distinct. This ATM version is different from the Cherokee Nation boot [ATM 052] in that diginoise has been eliminated and the pitch corrected.

This show featured the trio of Hendrix, Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell who were then recording the never completed Cry Of Love album.
