Sunday 22 June 1969

Northridge, Devonshire Downs (race track), Devonshire Street & Zelzah Avenue, San Fernando Valley, California, USA

Jam - ‘Newport 69’ festival - the biggest prior to Woodstock – with Jimi – guitar & vocal, Buddy Miles – drums & vocal; [an unknown black man. Possibly from Eric Burdon & War?] drums; Bob Arthur – bass (Mother Earth), Eric Burdon – vocal & “acrobatics”; “Sunshine” [true identity unknown) For a while “Sunshine” was aka “Mary Story” – as part of a hoax by Bill Yeager aka “Jimmy Story”] – vocal & “acrobatics”; Tracy Nelson (Mother Earth) vocal/backing vocals; Sadie Cantrell, Irma Routen & Lady Corder - backing vocals (Mother Earth); Cornelius ‘Snooky’ Flowers & Terry Clements – sax (both Janis Joplin band, Janis attended the 1st day and appeared on stage, when her presence was announced to big applause, it appears that she did not perform though. Terry was formerly in Electric Flag with Buddy); Lee Oskar – harmonica (Eric Burdon & War); and Tom Webb (The Flock) – flute


There is no record of the Janis Joplin Revue (only becoming known as the ‘Kozmic Blues Band’ after they had disbanded, from the title of Janis’ LP “I Got Dem Ol Kozmic Blues Again Mama!. ‘Full Tilt’ was only formed in 1970) performing at the festival, but as they were recording her KB LP in nearby Los Angeles between the 16th and 23rd, two members of her group were able to jam. The bass player was mistakenly identified in an article in Rolling Stone as being Janis’ bass player, which has since been unfortunately repeated, but the film shows clearly that it was actually Mother Earth’s Bob Arthur.

The same jounalist in his review of the 3 day festival said that Janis showed up herself on the first day and was introduced to warm applause, but not that she actually performed. This is corroberated by two other articles from this time, which also state that she announced she would jam on Sunday but didn’t turn up.
Jimi & Buddy prominently featured Buddy’s ‘We Got To Live Together’ (possibly hurriedly written for this occasion, as it is basically two Sly Stone songs jammed together) No doubt an answer to the racist abuse at the Experience show two days earlier. He only featured this song once more - as the finale at his - all black artists - show at the Fillmore East with the Band of Gypsys, supported by ‘The Voices Of East Harlem’. Jimi also adds a verse to ‘Paper Airplanes’ about addressing racism, and much of the jam is blues based.
Most of this was filmed, but most of it was silent, it has had the soundtrack added and has been, later (beautifully) re-synched by jamminjimi
Jimi –vocal & guitar, Buddy – drums & backing vocal, Bob Arthur – bass

Jimi : [Tape cut] …here is completely out of sight. We’ll go over by that way. Listen, we’re

gonna pretend we forget about everything, alive and dead, and call it Earth versus Space, all right. Here we go [checks tuning]

Aud : [Usual shouting match “sit down!” etc. Mass rhythmic clapping]

1. EARTH VERSUS SPACE [Stone Free theme: ‘Got to keep movin’’,

this long jam includes lyrics from several songs]


Grab just what you know

We ain’t got time to go down

Ain’t got time to slow down

Got to keep movin’, now

Got to keep movin’

Got to keep movin’, chile, now, now, now, now

2. <GYPSY EYES>
Well, I realise that I’ve been hypnotised

I love your Gypsy eye-eyes

I love your Gypsy eye-eyes

I love your Gypsy eye-eyes


3. <MIDNIGHT LIGHTNING> [backing vocal Buddy Miles]
I got to keep on movin’

Make love on my dyin’ bed

I got to keep on movin’

Make love on my dyin’ bed

I got to stop cigarrette smokin’

Or else I’ll cough my lungs to death

I got to stop cigarrette smokin’

(Keep on movin’)

I’m gonna cough my lungs to death

(Oh, keep on mo-ovin’)

Hey-hey-hey etc.

(Hey-hey etc.)

Do-do-doodle-oo etc.
(Doo-de-doo-doo etc…)
I’ve forgot some words, but there ain’t no ha-ha words to say

We’re gonna look around an’ see if we can make up some words

4. < “THERE’S A WAR GOIN’ ON” > [This bears no resemblance to “Red House” apart from those two

words. Jimi wrote a short lyric using the line ‘There’s a war goin’

on’ although the other five lines are not used here]
I see you sittin’ there in your overhaul

Formed by a few, complete bummer

There’s a war goin’ on1

Hey, baby, now

Come on down with me

(Come on down with me)

Come on down with me, child

(Come on down with me)

Come on down with me, chile

(Come on down with me)

Are groovin’ any better now

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Hey-ey, hey-yeah)
Goin’ down the red house

(Don’t go down the red house)

Goin’ down the red house

(Goin’ down the red house)

Drink some businessman wine+

We’re gonna turn the tide

There’s a war goin’ on, yeah

War goin on, chile


1 Line from an unrecorded lyric by Jimi

+Bob Dylan: “Business Men They Drink My Wine”

5. < MACHINE GUN* >


Hey, machine gun

Tearin’ my body all to pieces

Said machine gun, chile

Tear my body all apart, now, now

Even though we’re only families apart
*According to Jimi this addresses at least two subjects, one is war and the other is personal struggle

People fighting wars within’ themselves.” See song?verse? below

6. <“SOMETIMES I WONDER”? (Sounds like Devon again!)
Sometimes you make me wonder

I get the blues, and then I wonder, chile, yeah

Oh, you make me stay out late at night

Never come home, and fuss and fight

Who’s a fool, me or you?

Sometimes I wonde-er, yeah

Sometimes I wonde-er

Oh, sometimes I wonder, chile, now


Yea-eah
Is that a woman, man
Jimi : Hope you don’t mind us just makin’ up things as we go along, just. That’s what life is

about, the only thing we just write our own scripts that’s all [tuning] Like to-uh, see if we can do a blues in a minute. If that’s all right? We’ll sing you the blues [tuning]

? : Sing it with it…

? : Let’s get the sound right first ha-ha

Girl : Joey’s knockin’ around

Jimi : [Playing intro to song] We’re gonna try and do a slow blues, now, okay. It’s called The

Things I Used To Do

Aud : [Usual shouting match “sit down!” etc.]

Jimi : I wish I could, heh [guitar ‘says’ ‘Motherfucker’… tuning again]

Aud : [Still a shouting match “sit down!” etc.]…



Jimi –vocal & guitar, Bob Arthur – bass, Buddy – drums

7. THE THINGS THAT I USED TO DO (Eddie ‘Guitar Slim’ Jones)


The things that I used to do-o

Lord, I won’t do no mo-ore

Lord, the things that I used to do-o

Come on, for me

Lord, I won’t do no mo-ore

Turn it louder

I used to sit and hold your hand, baby

Turn it up! Turn it up!

Cry-y-y, beg you not to go no-ow
I search all night for you baby-y

Lord, and my search would always end in vain

‘Cause I searched you out, baby
Lord, I searched all night for you

Lord, and my search would always end in vai-ai-ain

Yeah, end in vain

‘Cause I knew that all the time, baby

That you was hid out with your other ma-a-an

That’s right, yeah, that’s why I still got my guitar


[Solo]
Aud : [Applause]

Buddy – vocal & drums, Jimi – guitar, Bob Arthur – bass

8. “SLOW BLUES” (George ‘Buddy’ Miles) [quotes lyrics from THE SKY IS CRYIN’ (Elmore James)]


We-he-he-eh-eh-he-ell

Oh yeah, that’s all I ever do-o

* aka Power of Soul, Jimi’s big song about breaking free from hard drugs (mainly heroin) earlier titles were

Crash Landing’ & ‘Paper Airplanes’ (analogy to paper wraps for powder drugs - flying?) He also noted in his



memo “songs to try in studio” at # 9. Power of God --- Love to Devon.

1This whole verse would appear in context to be another reference to the racism from two days previous

14. EARTH BLUES


Lord, I see hands

A whole lot of prayers and faces

Reachin’ up, but not qui-ite touchin’ the promised land

Hey, I see a whole lot of friendly hearts

An’ a whole lot of kind faces say

Please, Lord, give us a helpin’ hand


15. GETTING MY HEART BACK TOGETHER AGAIN (aka Hear My Train A Comin’)
Hey, I went down to my home town

My old-lady don’t want me around

I said “It’s too bad, baby, you don’t want me arou-ound”

I’m goin’ on the road and be a Voodoo chile

A magic boy, yeah!

I’m gonna get off my ass and try to do somethin’ to me

I just ain’t gonna sit around and smoke an’-uh, protest

Hey-he-ey, blue haze,

Hey-hey-hey, hey-hey
I wait around the train station

Waiting for that train

To take me

Take me awa-ay

From this lonesome town

If my girl don’t want me around

Don’t want me around

I’ll leave town

And come back and be a Voodoo chile

Hey-a-hey-hey-yeah

16. VOODOO CHILD (SLIGHT RETURN)
Well, I stand up next to a mountain

And chop it down with the edge of my hand

Well, I stand up next to a mountain

And chop it down with the edge of my hand

I pick up all the pieces and make an island

Might even raise a little sand*

Hey

‘Cause I’m a Voodoo chile, Voodoo chile



Lord knows, I’m a Voodoo chile, baby
* ‘Raise sand’ - expression meaning to cause a disturbance, get angry etc.

18. “I GOT TO FIND A WAY” (George ‘Buddy’ Miles)


My baby’s gone away

Got to go away

Lord, I got to find away, yeah

Find away

Don’t sleep at all

You never heard screams at night, yeah

But kee-eep o-on dyin’ down

And did that album say

You know that I’m goin’ insa-ane, yeah

Everybody say yeah

Oo-ooh

Uh-huh-oo



19. “WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT” (music: ‘Whole Lot Of Shakin’ Goin’ On’ by Jerry Lee Lewis?, different ad-

libbed lyric George ‘Buddy’ Miles)


Yeah

I said now

I’m waitin’ on my baby

Surely gonna fake a song

She said now

Some one want my baby

To surely never make a song, yeah

But she’s supplyin’ to the man

She don’t know what it’s all abou-out

It’s over, it’s over

I’m gonna testify
I’m afraid I’m gonna put it about

Yeah-yeah-yeah!

I’m gonna tell you about my baby

I’m gonna tell her what this song is all about

When she finds she’s fallen in love

She’s gonna see what I’m talkin’ about, now


[Solo/jam, quotes OUTSIDE WOMAN BLUES & SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE ([John] ‘Jack’ Bruce, Pete Brown & Eric Clapton)]

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


People talkin’ but they just don’t know

What’s in my heart and why I love you so, chile

You got me flippin’ like a flag on a pole

Come on sugar let the good times ro-o-oll


[Solo/jam, quotes THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER (music: ‘The Anacreontic Song’ by John Stafford Smith)]
