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

Some people talkin’ but they just don’t know
What’s in my heart and why I love you so
I love you baby, like a miner love gold
Come on, sugar let the good times ro-o-oll

You got me flippin’ like a flag on a pole

Too many people live in make believe
They keep a lot o’ doit [dirt] up their sleeves
But my lo-ove baby isn’t the kind that folds
Come on sugar, let the good times ro-o-oll

Oh, let the good times roll
Hey-ey baby 
Then let daddy thrill your soul
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll 

[Solo]

Rock an’ roll
 
Let the good times roll
Love is nice if it’s understood
It’s even nicer when you’re feelin’ good
You got me flippin’ like a flag on a pole
Come on baby, let the good times ro-o-oll

I’m waitin’ for you, baby
Let the good times roll
Let your daddy thrill your soul
Let the good times roll

[Solo]

Noel: Thank you very much, danke schön
Jimi : Yeah, thank you very much [guitar ‘says’ ‘what are you people doing, get to fuck, 
motherfucker’] Okay here we go, we're gonna do a thing that we recorded in 17331. It's recorded at, in the Benjamin Franklin studios1; it goes something like this here [tuning]… We-we toon-up between every song because we really care for your ears, that's why we don't play so loud, okay, that’s why we toon-up [tuning]….

1 Thirtyfifth recorded mention of Jimi referring to some of his early singles and songs off his first LP (usually 
   either ‘Red House’ or ‘Hey Joe’) as being recorded 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?”
 ….
2 Seventh recorded mention of Jimi referring to Benjamin Franklin and to The BF Studios. ‘Benjamins’ is slang 
  for hundred dollar bills &  therefore making lot’s of money. This is the highest denomination dollar bill and is 
  graced with Franklin’s portrait. He experimented with electricity, played the guitar, invented an ethereal 
  spooky sounding instrument the ‘armonica’ - a revolutionary development of the ‘glass harmonica’, and was 
  one of the leading American revolutionists, second only to George Washington

2. HEY JOE (William ‘Billy’ Roberts) 

Hey-hey Joe, I said where you goin’ with that gun in your hand?
Hey-hey Joe, I said where you goin’ with that gun in your hand?

I’m goin’ down to shoot my ol’ lady, now
I caught her messin’ ‘round with another man
Goin’ down to shoot my ol’ lady
You know I caught her messin’ ‘round another man
And that ain’t too cool

Hey-hey Joe, hey Joe 
I heard you shot your lady down
You shot her down 
[Quotes the Beatles’  I FEEL FINE (John Lennon & Paul McCartney)]

Hey-hey Joe, hey Joe 
I heard you shot your lady down
You shot her down in the ground

Yes, I did, I shot my woman 
I caught her messin’ around, messin’ around town 
Yes, I did, I shot my woman
You know I caught her messin’ around town
And I gave her the gun
I shot her

[Solo]

Hey-hey Joe, hey Joe
Where you gonna run to now?
Where you going to
Hey-hey Joe, hey Joe
I said, where you gonna run to
Where you gonna run to now?
And he said, he said  “Jimi Hendrix”
“I’m goin’ way down south
Way down south 
Way down to Mexico way”
If I ever leave you Darlin’
“I’m goin’ way down south
Way down south 
Way down where I can be free”
Hey

Ain’t no hangman gonna 
He ain’t gonna put a rope around me”
Hey!
You’d better believe it, baby

Noel: Thank you very much
Jimi: Yeah, okay then
Noel: Thank you 

3. FIRE  [Backing vocal - Noel]

All right, listen here baby, I wanna talk to you a second 
Yeah
You look at me, I don’t-uh care about that  
You’ve got a new fool hah, I like to laugh at
I have only one-uh, h-itchin’ desire
Let me stand next to your fire
(Let me stand next to your fire) Hey, let me stand, baby
(Let me stand next to your fire) Oh, let me sta-and 
(Let me stand next to your fire) Won’t do you no harm
(Let me stand next to your fire) 

Oh, move over Rover* and let Jimi take over
Oh, but it ain’t you I was talkin’ about 

[Solo/drum solo]

You say your mum ain’t home, it ain’t my concern
Just don’t play with me, and you won’t get burned
I have only one-uh, h-itchin’ desire
Let me stand next to thee, you know
(Let me stand next to your fire) Let me stand, baby
(Let me stand next to your fire) 
(Let me stand next to your fire) 
(Let me stand next to your fire) 
[Solo]

Yeah 

You give me your money 
You’d better save it babe 
Save it for your rainy day
I have only one-uh itchin’ desire
Let me stand next to your… [plays some feedback guitar]
(Let me stand next to your fire) Oh, let me stand, baby
(Let me stand next to your fire) 
(Let me stand next to your fire) 
(Let me stand next to your fryer) [ha-ha]

*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’

Noel: Mitch
Jimi : [Guitar ‘says’ ‘Thank you very much’] 
Noel: Think you heard danke schön
Jimi : [Tuning] …
Eric : I won’t have to pee
?     : Scotch hippie
Eric : y’know you’re gonna have to open them…

4. GETTING MY HEART BACK TOGETHER AGAIN [aka Hear My Train A Comin’] 

Well, I wait around the train station 
Waitin’ for that train
To take me 
Take me away 
From this lonesome town

Lot o’ people put me through a lot of changes
My girl just put me down 

Tears burnin’ my eye
Tears burnin’ me 
Tears burnin’ me 
Burnin’ me in my heart
Way down in my so-oul

Too bad you don't love me no more little girl
Too bad you and me had to part
I hear my train a comin’
Hear my train a comin’
Hear my train a comin’

[Solo]

Yeah

I’m gonna leave this town
Gonna leave this town
Gonna be a Voodoo chile
Gonna be a magic boy
Come back to this town
Come back to this town
Put it all in my shoe
If you don’t love me no more honey chile
I might be makin’ a big, piece o’ you

Hear my train comin’
Hear my train comin’ 
Hear my train comin’ 
Hear my train comin’ 

Noel: Thank you very much [simultaneously with Jimi]
Jimi : Thank you very much [tuning]. Yeah, we'd like to go on to our second LP and do a thing 
          dedicated to all the groovy people in here, because they’re a part. A thing called 
          Spanish Castle Magic [tuning].
Eric  : This is a bit o’ you Sean, isn’t he stylie
?      : Stop his boozing
?      : Must be a weird excuse to make, coming along…
Jimi : We ready?
?     : Did you have one of the doubles?
?     : Some wants wild women too
?     : It crimps like it’s in
Jimi : [Tuning]
?     : Gerry said you were in the crowd…

5. SPANISH CASTLE MAGIC 

It’s very far awa-ay 
Takes about a half a day to get there
If we travel by my ffup!, dragonfly
It’s not in Spain
But all the same you know it’s a groovy name 
And the wind's just right

Hang on my darlin’
Hang on if you wanna go
It’s-uh whole loads of fun, you know
That’s okay
Spanish Castle magic

The clouds are really low, baby
And they overflow
With cotton candy
An’-uh battle grounds red and brown
But it’s all in your mind, baby
Don’t waste your time thinkin’ about bad things
Just float your little mind around
Hang on my darlin’
Hang on, if you wanna go
Yeah, it’s a whole load of fun
Yeah
Spanish Castle magic

[Solo/ jam/ drum solo]

Noel: Thank you very much, that was Mitch on drums there
Jimi : Oh, Mitch Mitchell taking a drum solo there, thank you very much for the solo.
Aud : [Applause]
?     : Nobody else is this freaky
Jimi : We'd like to do a thing, goes something like this here, dedicated to somebody's 
girlfriend. We don't know who it is yet, but-uh, later on we’ll find out after the show, we don't know yet, but it’s-we'll dedicate to her anyway, a thing called Foxy Lady
Aud : [Cheers and applause]…Offer me Jimi!

7. STONE FREE 

Every day in the week, I’m in a different city
If I stay too long, the people try to put me down
They talk about me like a dog, talk about the clothes I wear
But they don’t reali-i-ise they’re the one’s who’s square
Oh, that is why 
I don’t wanna be tied down

(Stone free) To do what I please
(Stone free) To ride the breeze
(Stone free) I can’t stay
Got to, got to get away

Yeah

Listen here, baby
Woman here, woman there, try to keep me in a plastic cage 
But they don’t reali-i-ise, it’s so easy to break
Yeh, but-uh, sometimes I can feel my heart kind o’ gettin’ hot, yeah
That’s when I got to move, before I get caught

Hey, that’s why
You can’t hold me down
I don’t wanna be tied down
I got to move on

Hey! 
I said stone free, to do what I please
(Stone free) 
Stone free, to ride the breeze
(Stone free) 
Stone free, I can’t stay
(Stone free) 
I got to, got to, get away
Turn me loose, baby

[Solo]

Stone free, to do what I please
(Stone free) 
Stone free, to ride the breeze
(Stone free) 
Stone free, I can’t stay
(Stone free) 
I got to, got to, get away
(Stone free) 
Stone free, I’m goin, baby, right now
(Stone free)
Stone free, I’m goin’ down the highway, baby
(Stone free)

8. PURPLE HAZE  [Backing vocal - Noel]

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don’t seem the same
I’m actin’ funny but I don’t know why
‘Scuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple haze all around 
Don’t know if I’m comin’ up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me 

Help me baby, help me baby

[Solo]

(Ooh-aah, ooh-aah, ooh-aah, ooh, aah)

Yeah
Purple haze all in my eyes
Don’t know if it’s-uh day or night
You’ve got me blowin’, blowin’ my mind, is it
Tomorrow or just the end of time

Help me baby, help me baby

Yea-eah purple haze
(Purple haze)
Yea-eah purple haze
(Purple haze)

(Got another gig Jimi)
Not necessarily stoned…
(Purple haze)
…but beautiful

(Ooh-aah, ooh-aah, ooh-aah, ooh)

1. ARE YOU EXPERIENCED

If you can just, get your, mind together
Come on across to me
We’ll hold hands and then we’ll, watch the sunrise
From the bottom of the blue-blue sea, yeah
Yeah, but are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
We-ell I ha-a-ave

I know, I know, you’ll probably scream and cry
That your little world won’t let you go
But who in your measly world  
Are you tryin’ to prove 
You’re made out of gold and yuh, can’t be sold
Yeah, so are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
Well I have, I have
Let me prove it to you

[Solo / equipment breakdown?/ drum solo]

Trumpets and violins I can
Oh, I can hear in the distance
Callin’ our names
Maybe now you can’t hear them, oh, but you will 
Take hold of my hand, just come over darlin’?
Oh, but are you experienced?
Have you ever bee-een experienced?
Not necessarily stoned but, beautiful

Reach up baby

Never mess around here
Got no time to lose

* [Music: BB King’s ‘Rock Me Baby’. Lyrics are a mix of Elmore James’ ‘Look On Yonder Wall’ 
(Bill ‘Jazz’ Gillum) & Howlin’ Wolf’s ‘Meet Me In The Bottom’ (Willie Dixon), Jimi related this song to the Vietnam war veterans returning, as Elmo’s version of ‘Look On Yonder Wall’ did to those of World War 2, the missing verse being: “Your husband went to the war, I know it was tough, I don’t know how many men’s he killed, but I know he done killed enough.” ]

Noel: Thank you very much, danke schön
