Yeah, that is a damn good performance.
It is also on the The Berkeley DVD, but they really fucked that video up with some lame ass editing (during a killer Machine Gun, it cuts randomly to footage of hippies and cops throwing smoke grenades/ and during Star-Spangled Banner it keeps cutting back to a little boy playing the saxophone).
The DVD is cheap though, so that is a plus. and it is worth it alone for the afore mention Hear My Train a-Comin', the Voodoo Child, Purple Haze and Jimi playin' Johnny B. Goode.
