^Tommy- another Track Records double- was also released in that way. I can't think of any others offhand...must have been specific to them!

Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
^They should have been a double at the time, probably.
I knew I'd forgotten something obvious! In later years the Hendrix and Who albums were on Polydor too.
(Funny thing is I don't think much of Wheels Of Fire actually was 'at the Fillmore' at all, I think it was Winterland?)
Not true. The first ones like Cry Of Love and Rainbow Bridge were not tampered with at all. So things like 'Angel', 'Freedom', 'In From The Storm' etc. You're thinking of the Alan Douglas stuff which was and is controversial.
I once sat down and compiled a list of their live stuff and its origin, so for everyone's delectation:
07/03/1968 The Fillmore, San Francisco: Toad*, Rollin’ and Tumblin’†
08/03/1968 Winterland, San Francisco: Traintime*
09/03/1968 Winterland, San Francisco: Sleepy Time Time†, Sunshine of Your Love††
10/03/1968 Winterland, San Francisco: Crossroads*, Spoonful*, Sweet Wine† Tales of Brave Ulysses††, Steppin’ Out††, N.S.U.†
04/10/1968 Oakland Coliseum Arena: Deserted Cities of the Heart††, White Room††, Politician††
19/10/1968 The Forum, Los Angeles: I’m So Glad**, Politician**, Sitting on Top of the World**
Wheels of Fire* and Goodbye**, and Live Cream† and Live Cream Volume II††.
TBH, I think very little posthumous releases are worthy, whether in the 70's (I tried out a few) or the JH Estate (which I've not bothered with)
Of the notable releases in the 70's:
Cry Of Love never clicked with me... if that was were Jimi was heading, chances are that I wouldn't have followed him for long >> I wanted guitar, not soul-stuff
Rainbow Bridges does on a few tracks (Yonder, Earth and Train Coming, notably) and for some reasons, I like the movie.
In The West is definitely a good one
War Heroes was usually well-regarded, and I kept for much longer that Cry
I avoided the Crash Landing and Midnight Lightning as everyone knew it was a scam (erasing of Noel and Mitch)
the last one I heard was Nine To Universe, usually well-regarded, but I'd grown tired of these posthumous releases at the time
Wow, thanks for this... I've always wondered how to make sense of those Cream concerts
I guess you could separate the March concerts and the October concerts to make two separate CD-Rs (though you'd have to see if time-wise, it's possible
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
^I think there's a version of 'Passing The Time' from one of those shows, maybe the Oakland one, which has yet to see release.
RE; posthumous Hendrix. War Heroes looks like a bit of a mish-mash, but some really great late 60s instrumentals made their debut there- 'Beginnings', 'Midnight' and the cover of Hansson and Karlsson's 'Tax Free' (a live regular for a while). There was another called Loose Ends, which flopped and has mostly been confined to 'archive' CDs since.
Relatively little in the way of noteworthy 'finished' tracks have been released since then. What followed was the Alan Douglas period.
Hm.
The most essential posthumous Hendrix releases must be the ones containing recordings from ballroom-dances during his stints with Don Covay or Curtis Knight, eventually that 1968 recording of him and Johnny Winter being unthankfully joined on stage by a dead-drunk Jim Morrison chanting "...] Fuck her in the ass!"
Being a teenage Hendrix fan and discovering those artifacts surely made my pimples spin.
"Improvisation is not an excuse for musical laziness" - Fred Frith
"[...] things that we never dreamed of doing in Crimson or in any band that I've been in," - Tony Levin speaking of SGM
I'll probably end up getting this purely for the blu ray disc and the stuff on disc two. If they've cleaned up that live show and made it half way listenable, that'll be a bonus.

Was that "Passing the Time" or "We're Going Wrong"?
Johnny Winter is not on that recording, even though the original bootleg, "Sky High," stated he was. The confusion began because it was recorded at Steve Paul's The Scene Club. Paul was Johnny's manager. The house band was The McCoys, led by Rick Derringer, who is likely the second guitarist. I'm not 100% convinced of that because the guitar playing isn't very good. But, it's definitely not Johnny, who also claimed that he never met Morrison. The McCoys eventually became Johnny's backing band in And.
For the record, the original bootleg did not include Morrison's "Fuck her up the ass" rant. But, he was still on it. It also was semi-officially (?) released under some other titles, including "High Live and Dirty."
But, definitely no Johnny.
"The White Zone is for loading and unloading only. If you got to load or unload go to the White Zone!"
Was his jam with Cream recorded and available?
“Pleasure and pain can be experienced simultaneously,” she said, gently massaging my back as we listened to her Coldplay CD.
Lots more but I mentioned that because it's otherwise undocumented, rather than more versions of the same songs (I'm not sure there's any other songs not documented by Wheels Of Fire, Goodbye or Live 1/2). And yes, definitely 'Passing The Time'.
That one and the 2nd half of the Royal Albert Hall show did the rounds on crappy budget CDs in Europe for years.
