THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE Vinyl & CDs

Review: This live concert performance, captured just five days before the US release of Are You Experienced, the JHE's 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 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 unique, two-track live recording has ever been released before in any capacity, either via official channels or elsewise.
