Includes Glover's five-page transcript of the interview, in which he and Hendrix discuss audiences in America and Europe ("They're the same, once you get into it"), the production of Electric Ladyland ("Some of the mix came out muddy, not exactly muddy, but kind of bassy…There's 3-D sound on there that's being used that you can't even appreciate because like they didn't know how to cut it properly. They thought it was out of phase"), 12-track recording at Record Plant ("For instance on Voodoo Child (Slight Return) I was playing lead guitar, Mitch played drums and Noel bass, and then I added on maybe two more things. How many tracks is that?"), and covering Bob Dylan's 'All Along the Watchtower' ("What was used on that was a solo guitar with about 4 different types of sounds you know, like as a slide, then as a wah-wah and then straight"). Highlights of the show included 'Are You Experienced,' 'Voodoo Child,' 'Red House,' 'Foxy Lady,' 'Little Wing,' 'Spanish Castle Magic,' 'Sunshine of Your Love,' and 'Purple Haze.' In overall fine condition. Accompanied by a 1982 clipping of Glover's review of The Jimi Hendrix Concerts, a live double-album, with was published alongside an image of Glover interviewing Hendrix.
