I was convinced this show I'm uploading was and officially released recording because of its intense, superb sound. But after seeing it again lately on a trading/sharing site, I looked it up and it hasn't ever been released. I saw on Amazon's site where it is listed as an "unauthorized release" (i.e. a bootleg) and it isn't available to purchase. There are people and businesses that will sell these, and that is what is illegal. But this superb soundboard is legal to share unless they do release it someday. I personally hope they don't ever release it because it doesn't get much better than this version. Plus, then you'd have to buy it (or get is somewhere else besides here) because I'd have to pull it and it would no longer be free.
Another thing that should interest Hendrix fans is the first three tracks on CD 1. They are superb afternoon soundchecks before the show that night.

I have a few excellent video sources for this show that are pro shot too. They all are incomplete and are missing a few songs as well as they have some interview tracks in between songs. While that is cool, I hate it when artists interrupt a show to throw in interview segments. I want to see the concert and then add the interviews at the end. One specific pro shot DVD adds missing tracks in the audio format at the end of the show under the "Bonus" area of the DVD. That means the songs are not in order of course, but at least it has the extra songs but apparently without any video. The sound is excellent and the video is too on this better of the two DVD choices I'm mentioning. But the audio in this 2 CD set is much more superior and it really sounds like an officially released, store bought type of item. This is what threw me off for a while and the reason I've waited until not to share the show (after confirmeing it hasn't been released...it just sounds like it should have been).
I was doing research before this upload and noticed in 2010 there was talk about officially releasing the show on DVD. But it hasn't happened yet, and my guess is, it probably never will. But if it does get officially released, then I'll pull it from my site if I elect to upload it. Let me know if you want it and it'll help me make my mind up!
Since the original uploader took the time to add the ffp and md5 files, as well as name the tracks too, I'm not doing anything other than posting the show and making it available to you. I already mentioned in the lineage I checked the files for CDDA (lossless CD standard 44.1 kHz/16 bit audio properties) vs. MPEG (lossy qualities). As with many Trader's Little Helper MPEG/CDDA tests, not every track shows to be CDDA. But this is a common error with TLH and there are many factors that can cause a few false readings. Most all of the tracks tested as CDDA sourced with a rare exception of a track or two on the CD's. Believe me when I say this show and file set are highly unlikely to possess any lossless (loss of discernible audio from compression...i.e. the reason I hate mp3, otherwise known as MPEG, audio) properties. I'm not going to take an extra hour and check the false reading tracks because those who take the time to confirm a recording's source audio know this is a normal flaw that can occur (and does too often at times) withing TLH. If you doubt the validity of any of the tracks, then get Audacity, sample a mid section of about 30 seconds of the songs you might wonder about, and read the frequency grapsh (FA = frequency analysis and SA = spectral analysis). It's a good thing to learn how to do anyhow if you really like your music and want to confirm it is CDDA (or not) material.
This is a long show. So if you download it, make sure you're set to jam out for at least two hours or more and play it LOUD...
2014-12-28 UPDATE: After talking with a friend of mine that's a big Hendrix fan also, I did some more research and found that the Royal Albert Hall 1969-02-24 show has been partially released. The following link on Wikipedia will explain things. And due to this fact, I'm pulling the links from this performance completely. I'm not going to cut this complete version of the show and start removing tracks. In this case, there would only be 5 tracks left it appears. When artists (or their family members, managers, or whoever) start doing these patch projects, I do not like that. Put a full show up and let the paying fans enjoy it! I'm sorry about this, but as I stated from the creation of this blog, if there is something officially released and it can be purchased, I'll pull links or never upload it from the beginning. This one did slip by me in my research before the upload unfortunately, and now; I'm removing the links and their storage on my file sharing site.
To read the details on why, see Wikipedia's information at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hendrix_in_the_West.

LOL....!!! A lot of good it'll do you being a "good boy". They'll shut you down just the same. I say it doesn't really matter whether you leave them up or take them down. You give away what they sit on and don't want others to share in, and that's the way it'll always be.
