8 Lp box of magic! I went on about it at length a while back, yet only two people here bought the cd version!!! Came across a Hi-Fi World piece this morning in their classic cuts series (last page, latest edition) and I jumped for joy! So I'm not going mad after all :) Typed out a little excerpt below....Now will yis listen?????
Hi Fi World Winterland review:
" As such, Hendrix and the Experience were on fire, the group being at the peak of their performing powers with both passion and energy searing across a stage that struggled to restrain them. In contrast to that intensity, there is also a sense of relaxation to this music. That's partly down to the length of time Hendrix had to dwell on his art. After all,this was a man who travelled constantly, packing and unpacking, moving from gig to gig. This show, spanning 3 days, allowed him to dwell upon his technique for a longer than normal period which produced a more considered performance in which he was able to concentrate. If you're a Hendrix fan - buy it. If you're an audiophile - buy it. If you love the guitar - buy it. Can you sense a theme here?"

I thought I was losing my marbles! I haven't come across one review in any of the rags, but as I don't buy as many as I used to, maybe I failed to spot them....In case people don't realise what Fran is referring to, it's the Jimi Hendrix Winterland set that I alluded to earlier.
Just listening to downloads at the moment....while I wait patiently for an Lp release :)
Apparently Azusa Plane was one Jason DiEmilio who suffered horrifically for years with acute tinnitus. He died in 2006....
