Hendrix Jimi

Från en liveinspelning på Santa Clara County Fairgrounds, San Jose, CA 25 maj 1969.

LIMITED EDITION

This live concert performance, captured just five days before the US release of Are You Experienced, their album debut, is notable for being one of the last times the band performed in front of an audience as relative unknowns. Having already conquered the band's UK base as well as Continental Europe over the previous ten months, the vast majority of the 17,000 plus Los Angeles concert goers were there to see headliners The Mamas & The Papas and were caught off guard by Jimi Hendrix's electrifying musicality and showmanship. Finally, the set can be enjoyed by the rest of the world for the first time ever; amazingly, not a single second of this live recording has ever been released before in any capacity, either via official channels or elsewise.

Hendrix Jimi: International Sports Arena, San... [2 Vinyl LP]

Live At The L.A. Forum presents an extraordinary April 1969 performance by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Before a raucous, sold-out house, Hendrix, drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Noel Redding tore through a unique set featuring highlights such as I Don't Live Today, Purple Haze, Red House, and an astonishing medley of Voodoo Child (Slight Return) and Cream's Sunshine Of Your Love. This pristine recording, newly mixed by Hendrix's longtime engineer Eddie Kramer, captures the original Jimi Hendrix Experience in their unrivalled, peak form. A portion of this performance was previously included as part of a short-lived Westwood One radio documentary box set [Lifelines 1990-1992] but has been unavailable in any form for two decades. It will also be available on vinyl for the first time.<br/><br/>The release comes complete with liner notes from ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons who witnessed the show first hand-- gives this seminal performance its proper platform, presenting the complete performance mixed directly from the original eight-track master tapes by longtime engineer Eddie Kramer.
