1. FOXY LADY  [Backing vocal - Noel]
………

[Solo]

I’ve made up my mind
I’m tired of wastin’ all my precious time
You’ve got to be all mine
Ooh, foxy lady

Here I come, baby
Comin’ to get you

(Foxy)

Noel: Thank you very much, thank you, that was Foxy Lady
Jimi : [Tuning] That feels better, try to do a song off our second LP [tuning] You’ll notice 
that we toon up between every song, because we care for your ears, an’ that’s why we don’t play so loud 
Aud : [Laughter]
Jimi : Tuned it better [tuning] … Y’all look very sleepy, so that’s about as far as you would 
go, we’ll have to be doing the steady songs, so you’ll have to please sit down probably-heh [tuning]

2. LITTLE WING

Well, she’s walkin’ through the clou-ou-ou-ouds
With a circus mind that’s running round 
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams 
An’-uh fairy ta-ale 
That’s all she thinks about
Riding with the wi-ind

When I’m sad, she comes to me-e-e 
With a thousand smiles, she’s given me free
It’s all right, it’s all right. She says It’s all right.
So listen to this, take anything you want from me
Anything, baby, anythi-ing

Noel: Thank you very much
Jimi : Like to do a song, a very, very straight song that was - ooh, don’t worry about it – 
          anyway, forgetten now, oh yeah, the straight song, yeah, that’s right heh
Aud : [Laughter]
Jimi : Yeah, anyway, we got this little peek around song from Electric Ladyland and-uh, it 
was in it’s cover they called it Voodoo Child Slight Return, an’ it’s very straight blue Rock and Roll which I know, which, which you all like the best thing for as me. But anyway we like to call it an ‘electric funk’
Aud : [Laughter]
Jimi : Then they funked F. U. N. K less divided. Just for that all your kids, nothing matter 
with your kids, but all your kids will be born boogie butt naked. Let me say hello from now on [tuning]
Aud : [Applause]

VOODOO CHILD (Slight Return) [missing]

Jimi : Thank you [tuning] And a slow one recorded about 17381, a thing by-
uh Aretha Franklin… an me present. An’ then they call huh-it, calls it blues, but we didn’t release it over here on record, it was on the-eh first Are You Experienced LP, and it’s called Red House, we’d like to do it now [tuning]…

1Twentythird recorded mention of Jimi referring to some of his early singles and songs off his first LP 
  (most frequently ‘Red House’ or ‘Hey Joe’,) as being recorded a long time ago (usually over a hundred 
  years ago). Possibly a reference to Elmore James’ strange 1954 song ‘1839 Blues’ which starts with him 
  singing in a weird voice: 

 “Hey Joe… you know I’m a young man this time
 And you know I ain’t seen my baby since 1839
 I got to find her. What you say?”
….

3. RED HOUSE 

There’s a red house over yonder, baby
That’s where my-y baby stay-y-yeah
Red house over yonder 
Lo-ord, where my baby stay-y-yeah

I ain’t been home to see my baby
In about ninety nine and one half day* 

Wait a minute somethin’s wrong
The key won’t unlock this doo-oor
Wait a minute somethin’s wrong, baby
Lord, key wouldn’t unlock this do-o-o-oor

I’ve got a bad, bad feelin’ 
My baby, don’t live here no more
Sure was ever fond of leavin’
That’s all right I still got my guitar 

[Solo/drum solo]

I might as well go back over yonder, baby
Way back over yonder, across the hi-ill
Lord, I might as well go back over yonder, baby yeah
Way back over yonder, across the hi-i-ill

If my baby don’t love me no more
Lord, I know, good and well, that her
Her sister wi-i-ill

* Three month jail term

Noel: Thank you very much for that blues, thank you very much…From us
Jimi : I do believe I will rock your fire, Yeah okay then that’s a new old one, we gotta pull 
 ‘em up, do a thing called Let Me Stand Next To Your Old Lady, I mean, Let Me Stand Next To You School Punks, Fire that is
Aud: [Applause]…

4. FIRE [Backing vocal - Noel]

Okay, baby, come here an’ I’ll tell you somethin’ 
It isn’t cool, right now

You don’t care for me, I don’t-uh care about that  
You’ve got a new fool, hah, I like to laugh at
I have only one h’itchin’ desire
Let me stand next to your fire
(Let me stand next to your fire) Let me stand, baby
(Let me stand next to your fire) Let me sta-and
(Let me stand next to your fire) Woah, let me stand, baby
(Let me stand next to your fire) 

Oh, hear me talkin’ , and stop actin’ so damned crazy

You say your mom ain’t home, it ain’t my concern

I have only one-uh, h’itchin’ desire
Let me stand next to your…[plays trill]
(Let me stand next to your fire) Hey! let me stand, baby
(Let me stand next to your fire) Let me sta-and

(Let me stand next to your fire) 

Oh, move over Rover* and let Jimi take over
Yeah, you know what I’m talkin’ about

[Guitar & Drum jam]

Yeah

You try to give me your money 
You’d better save it babe
Save it for your rainy day
I have only one-uh burnin’ desire
Let me stand next to your … [plays feedback howl with whammy] 
(Let me stand next to your fire) Hey, let me stand, baby
(Let me stand next to your fire) Yeah, let me sta-and
(Let me stand next to your fire) Yeah, girl
(Let me stand next to your fire) 

*From ‘Stoop Down Baby’ aka ‘Two Old Maids’ (Chick Willis?): “Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard… But when she bent over Rover took over. ‘Cause you know he had a bone of his own” ha-ha-ha. Jimi covered this at least five times from 1965 to 1970. He also get’s a mention in ‘Highway of Broken Hearts’,  ‘Keep On Groovin’ & ‘Hound Dog’. This, coupled with the story of Jimi asking if their dog could be moved so he could warm himself at the fire in Noel’s mother Margaret’s house at New Year 1966/67, would appear to be the inspiration for ‘Fire’
