  14. Little Wing (Jimi Hendrix cover)

As released on the "Live In Heaven 1986" bootleg CD (1997).

Strangely enough this bootleg has the tracklist printed on the sleeve from the show at the Paradiso, Amsterdam, The Netherlands on May 1, 1987 (which is closer to 1986 than 1992), which was released on the "Live In Amsterdam 1987" bootleg CD (incl. two extra hidden tracks). The disc however has the same cat.no. (CD3-136) and music as the above "A Fulminant Live Act" bootleg CD.
It has also been seen with the "Live In Heaven 1986" backsleeve, but with the 'original' "Live" bootleg CD frontsleeve.
More details unknown. Anyhow, it seems strange that someone went through all the trouble of a new picture, and accurate song listing only to rip us off with the music !!

Personal source: CD -> Tape

Running time: approx. 65 mins.
Quality: very good

Same recording as on the "A Fulminant Live Act" bootleg, but maybe from another source? The sound quality isn't as good as the aforementioned CD. If it has been taken from the CD, it probably went through a few tape generations (or one bad tape duplication) before it was transferred.
