Jimi Hendrix - The Jimi Hendrix Experience (2000)



The Hendrix family continues its reissue campaign with the release of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, a lavish four-disc box set that should be a boon to Hendrix collectors everywhere. With a beautiful 80-page booklet, and purporting to have 46 unreleased tracks, further inspection actually reveals less than meets the eye, at least for collectors. The problem is that real collectors have already heard most of this material, and not only through bootleg sources. Many of the previously unreleased tracks are just new mixes of live tracks that were issued as part of Stages, Live at Monterey, and Lifelines. Also included is a new mix of the "Gloria" single. While the sound quality is somewhat better (handled by the expert Eddie Kramer), the new mixes do not differ substantially from the earlier versions. With the inclusion of virtually all of In the West, and a few quality tracks from Rainbow Bridge and Crash Landing (without the wretched mid-'70s overdubs), The Jimi Hendrix Experience almost seems like a shelf-clearing exercise, taking care of the leftover tracks that fans have been clamoring for en masse. Other tracks have been available on bootleg recordings but have been lovingly remixed by Kramer. "Taking Care of No Business," a great tune similar in feel to "My Friend," has been stripped of the posthumous horn overdubs that marred the first appearances of this song. "Country Blues" and "It's Too Bad" (a slow blues with organist Larry Young) are quality studio jams that sound great with a proper mixing job. The real highlights of the set are the early studio outtakes, presumably from the cache that Chas Chandler withheld from Alan Douglas for so many years. (You'll recall that Douglas claimed complete control of Hendrix's recorded legacy until that was overturned in 1995 and reverted to Al Hendrix.) Some of these tracks are versions recorded prior to the version that ended up being released, giving an interesting glimpse into the evolution of some of Hendrix's songs, in some cases, like "Room Full of Mirrors," differing drastically from the known release. Other tunes are alternate mixes ("Purple Haze," "If Six Was Nine") that give indications of the type of studio experimentation that Hendrix, Kramer, and Chandler were undertaking. "Little Wing" and "Bold As Love" are given powerful instrumental readings, as the band locks in the arrangement prior to their respective master takes. In addition, the cool proto version of "Angel" called "Sweet Angel" (released on the South Saturn Delta compilation) is revisited, restoring the 15 or so seconds that were missing, and with a better mix, created from the recently discovered multi-track recordings. Interestingly, one of the most enjoyable aspects of these studio outtakes is the control room banter that takes place. There isn't a ton of it, but there are some highly enjoyable moments. At the end of "Purple Haze," Hendrix starts to giggle and throws in "Mary Had a Little Lamb." The version of "Third Stone From the Sun" has Chandler and Hendrix's recording of the spoken bits used on the song, tacked on to the beginning. It's great to hear Hendrix cracking up throughout their interstellar conversation. Another moment subtly hints at the frictions that were to end up dissolving the Chandler-Hendrix partnership. After seven minutes of take 21 of "Bold As Love," Hendrix is heard to say, "let's try it one more time, alright?" to which Chas Chandler dejectedly replies with a groan. The book itself is wonderful; all tracks are fully documented and annotated, with lots of photos, many previously unpublished. There are also recording studio log sheets, newspaper articles, poster/flyers, and Hendrix's handwritten lyrics reproduced. All in all, The Jimi Hendrix Experience is a fine addendum to the Hendrix legacy, but not the place to start; this is a set for someone who already has the studio albums and can't get enough of his genius. The disappointment a hardcore collector might feel at having heard most of this material already should be outweighed by the beautiful, warm sound achieved by Eddie Kramer and the general high quality of the package.

Jimi Hendrix - The Complete PPX Studio Recordings (6CD Box) (2000)


Remastered Curtis Knight material 1965-67. 'Jimi Hendrix: The Complete PPX Studio Recordings' (SPV, 2000) presents one version of the Hendrix narrative, or at least one specific part of one specific narrative. There are so many strands to the Hendrix story that one would imagine that we've covered the lot of 'em by now, but the PPX Recordings suggest yet another sub-plot, another role for him to play. Indeed it is a role Hendrix plays very well, but it is a role which critical rock orthodoxy has largely chosen to ignore. The PPX Recordings are badly packaged, clumsily thrown together and poorly annotated. Across 6 CDs we have a bewildering ragbag collection of live tracks, demos and re-worked demos, RnB covers, brief instrumentals and endless anonymous jams, all drawn from two separate periods in Jimi's life; pre-mega success in 1965 as RnB guitar sideman to Curtis Knight & The Squires, and mid-mega success in 1967 upon returning to New York to jam with his old buddies. Prior to being spirited away to the UK and psychedelic stardom by Chas Chandler, Hendrix had signed to small-time hustler Ed Chaplin's PPX Recordings. This would result in a whole buncha legal action that I ain't gonna even claim to be interested in, but whatever the ins and outs of the whole affair, a whole mess of PPX cash-in odds and sods have slowly crept out over the years on vinyl, CD, semi-authorised bootlegs etc and 58 of 'em wound up being compiled here. For all I know there could be hours and hours more of this stuff, I guess you'd have to ask somebody. Most of the music on here is uncredited, there is nothing to indicate the dates of the recordings, who played on them, where they were recorded, why they were recorded etc etc, the art-work sucks, the names of the tracks just seem to have been made up at random, there's take after take of the same 'song' and all in all the box-set (if you can call a flimsy cardboard sleeve a box) is a cheap piece of garbage that doesn't give Hendrix - OR THE MUSIC - the respect / attention / care that it deserves. And because this music is (a) recorded terribly, (b) presented carelessly, (c) doesn't sound like 'All Along The Watchtower', generally people just haven't really given a damn about it. Infact, it's been treated as a bit of an embarrassment. Shit, who wants to hear Jimi plodding through another aimless wah-wah instrumental, or churning out who-gives-a-damn chicken 'n' grits versions of 'What I'd Say?' This isn't the Hendrix we know, right? Where are the production values? The stick-it-to-Clapton guitar heroics? The electrified, dandified acid-rock pyrotechnics? Motherfugger'd played this garbage at Woodstock the cat would been booed right off the goddamn stage. This music is a stain on the Hendrix canon. It isn't fit to be considered Hendrix music. I bet he hated playin' this unsophisticated crap. Why don't we just forget the whole sorry affair, huh, and get back to listenin' to 'Electric Ladyland'. The fact is simply that there are a handful of tracks contained on these six CDs that if you didn't know Hendrix was playing on them - though his playing is so wonderfully distinctive that this is highly unlikely - and you heard 'em in a club, you'd be like : "Wow. This sure is some excellent, rough-ass, breakbeat powered psychedelic funk-rock. That rolling bass. That wild, wig-out wah-wah geetar. Man, this is really good. Gotta be mid-late 60s. A bit Baby Huey & The Babysitters. A bit Black Merda. Hidden in the crates of some Texas record store for 40 years. Yeah. Probably by some band with a name like 'Joe Thunder and The Thunderstorm Soul Band', who put out one 45 in 1966. Wonder if it's ever turned up on a Cherrystones compilation at some point. Think I'll ask the DJ. Dude, who's this by? Jimi Hendrix? No, seriously, who's this track by? Jimi Hendrix? You gotta be kiddin' me! It's Hendrix on guitar? Who's singing? Curtis Knight? What LP is this from? This is brilliant!" Basically what I'm saying is you gotta re-contextualise this shit. This ain't 'The Wind Cries Mary.' You gotta forget about all that. This is music by an LSD-fuelled psyche-soul band, a proto-Funkadelic, bass/drums/guitar, live, loud, messy sometimes, but coming with some seriously heavy fonk, loadsa bottom-end and buckets of furious fuzz. Sure, it lacks the polish of Hendrix's big bucks stuff. Sure, some of it ain't arranged all that well. But check out the grooves. These is some cookin' jams. If you'da come across these tunes on some Jazzman / Quantic / Andy Votel compilation you'd sho' nuff dig 'em the most, and they'd be the equal of half the shit on there. To judge 'em by the standards of Hendrix's canonised material is unfair. Let's not patronise this music by dismissing it as 'just gut-bucket funk' or 'just chicken 'n' grits RnB' just 'cos it don't fit into some white-rock version of Who Hendrix Is. The PPX Recordings have been neglected because Hendrix fans are generally fans of acid / heavy rock, and thus have found little to enjoy here. (One only has to consider the poor standing of his 'Band Of Gypsys' LP, a flat-out funk-rock monster, a really stunning album, to see what effect this bias / prejudice has had on the reputation of his funk-orientated output....but that's for another time) Fans of funk and psyche / garage curios, on the other hand, will find tons to dig here, and if you're anything like me will actually revel in the sheer amount of material on offer - however varied in quality. It is a crying shame that it has been packaged badly, and that more quality control was not exercised (there is alot of PPX material that simply doesn't merit having been released) but this should not distract from the great tracks sprinkled among the rubbish. It's time we seriously re-evaluate this particular version of the Hendrix narrative, because there is music here which does his reputation proud. There is stuff on here I dig so much that even if he'd never done anything else, he'd still be a hero. This is Jimi Hendrix: The Obscure Psychedelic Funk Band Guitarist.

Jimi Hendrix - Live At The Fillmore East (1999)


A series of Jimi Hendrix performances from the Band of Gypsys concerts finally gets the deluxe treatment from MCA and Experience Hendrix, as tapes from both first and second shows are brought together, correctly identified (1986's Band of Gypsys 2 actually featured three tracks that weren't by the band at all) in one deluxe two-disc set. This newly expanded edition contains the only live versions of "Earth Blues," "Auld Lang Syne," "Stepping Stone," and "Burning Desire"; Hendrix tunes specifically worked up for the performance that rarely surfaced again like "Izabella," "Power of Soul," and "Who Knows"; newly remastered versions of "Stop" and "Hear My Train a-Comin'" (both originally presented on Band of Gypsys 2 in horrendous sound) and classic performances of "Stone Free," "Changes," "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," and "Wild Thing." Equally as revelatory is one of the two alternate versions included of "Machine Gun," every bit as stunning as the better-known version. Though this new edition hardly makes all previous incarnations obsolete, it presents the man at his most challenged and brilliant.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Live At Clark University (1999)


Live At Clark University was recorded on March 15, 1968 in the Atwood Hall at Clark UniversityWorcester, Massachusetts). Like no Hendrix live disc ever before issued, The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Live At Clark University provides a window into one night on the road with the Experience. Beyond the memorable concert performances of "Fire", "Red House", "Foxey Lady", "Purple Haze", and "Wild Thing" featured here, Live At Clark University provides a further treat in the form of extended interviews with Jimi, Mitch, and Noel. What makes this collection so unique is the perspective and extraordinary. (

Scene Club, New York City, NY 18.03.68 [Jam with Jim Morrison a.o.]. Uncertainty has for a long time surrounded both the exact date for the Scene Club recordings and the personnel featured on them. The date has now been confirmed as 18.03.68, and personnel is believed to be Jimi Hendrix (guitar / vocals), Jim Morrison (vocals) and Lester Chambers (harp) plus two unknown guitarists, unknown bass and unknown drums. Some of these may or may not have been members of The McCoys or The Young Rascals, but neither Johnny Winter nor Rick Derringer were among them.

Jimi Hendrix - Experience Hendrix (The Best Of) (1998)


This compilation just misses being the perfect single-CD Jimi Hendrix anthology, and it's a crying shame because it comes so close. Its main virtue is that, in contrast to Smash Hits — the only compilation of Hendrix's work approved by the artist — it extends its reach past 1968. The last of the tracks come from the abortive First Rays of the New Rising Sun album, left unfinished at the time of his death, and show off a more R&B and soul-oriented sound than Hendrix was generally known for — and are worth the price of the disc by themselves. In fact, some of these cuts recall Hendrix's history with the Isley Brothers, but done his way, with the range of sounds that he was generating in 1970. The disc concludes with the obligatory live version of "The Star Spangled Banner" from Woodstock, which is of massive historical and cultural importance. Where it falls short is by leaving out "Can You See Me"and "Remember," which are on Smash Hits — it's a pity because the presence of two of those cuts (which, in fairness, can be found on Are You Experienced?) would make this compilation perfect in most respects.

Jimi Hendrix - BBC Sessions (1998)


These are the recordings that Jimi Hendrix made for BBC radio in the late '60s. As such, they're loose, informal, and off-the-top-of-his-head improvisational fun. These versions of the hits "Foxey Lady," "Fire," two versions of "Purple Haze," and "Hey Joe" stay surprisingly close to the studio versions, but the tone of Hendrix's guitar on these is positively blistering and worth the price of admission alone. There's also a lot of blues on this two-disc collection, and Hendrix's versions of "Hoochie Coochie Man" (with Alexis Korner on slide guitar), "Catfish Blues," "Killing Floor," and "Hear My Train A-Comin'" find him in excellent form. But perhaps the best example of how loosely conceived these sessions were are the oddball covers that Hendrix tackles, including Stevie Wonder's "I Was Made to Love Her" (featuring Wonder on drums), Dylan's "Can You Please Crawl out Your Window?," The Beatles' "Day Tripper," and, in recognition of his immediate competition, Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love." No lo-fi bootleg tapes here (everything's from the original masters and gone over by Eddie Kramer), the music and sound are class-A all the way, making a worthwhile addition to anyone's Hendrix collection.

Jimi Hendrix - South Saturn Delta (1997)


Shortly after the Hendrix family reacquired the rights to Jimi's catalog, they signed a long-term deal with MCA Records and pulled many of the compilations of unreleased material and rarities off the shelves, with the intent of re-releasing the material in better collections. First Rays of the New Rising Sun, an attempt at assembling Hendrix's uncompleted last album, was the first release from Experience Hendrix LLC, and it was followed months later by South Saturn Delta, a collection of rarities — all but one of the 15 tracks were never officially released in the U.S. — that spans his entire career. Its intent is to capture the full range of Hendrix's music through an alternate history, and it works pretty well. Among the highlights are tracks from the War Heroes and Rainbow Bridge Concert albums ("Look Over Yonder," "Tax Free," "Midnight," "Pali Gap," "Bleeding Heart"), "Sweet Angel" (an early version of "Angel"), an instrumental "Little Wing," a solo take on "Midnight Lightning," and a studio version of "Message to the Universe (Message to Love)." There are also alternate mixes of "All Along the Watchtower," "Power of Soul," "Drifter's Escape," "South Saturn Delta," and "The Stars That Play With Laughing Sam's Dice." It's an intelligently sequenced, listenable collection of some of the very best outtakes and rarities from Hendrix, and is another sign that Experience Hendrix LLC's restoration of Jimi's catalog will be smart, stylish, and logical.

Jimi Hendrix - First Rays Of The New Rising Sun (1997)


Posthumous reconstructions of unfinished works are inherently dangerous, principally because even the most capable scholar or producer can only make, at best, an educated guess as to how the work in question would have been completed. Indeed, in dealing with some such pieces, you're sometimes lucky to get the work of the artist claimed (the Mozart Symphony No. 37 is a case in point — it doesn't exist; the piece once labeled Symphony No. 37 and attributed to Mozart is now known to have been authored by Michael Haydn); and while there's no question that the songs on this CD were recorded by Jimi Hendrix, even the people who worked on the sides with him can't say which songs would have ended up on the finished version of First Rays of the New Rising Sun (assuming that he even ended up using that title for the album), or what embellishments he would have added to any of them in the course of completing them, or even if he might not have totally reconsidered such matters as tempo and approach to any of them. In the end, First Rays of the New Rising Sun is a little like any of the various "performing editions" of Gustav Mahler's never-completed Symphony No. 10, in that what's here is impressive, but may have little to do with what would finally have been heard by the public, had the artist lived to finish it — we don't know if Mahler would have scored a particular passage for horns or strings, or Hendrix would have put another, different lead guitar part, or a second (or third) guitar part on to any of these songs, or added choruses, or re-thought his vocal performance? Hendrix had gone so long between albums, seemingly adrift stylistically at various times, that there's no telling exactly what direction he was finally going to end up working toward. All of that said, this is a superb album, and a worthy if very different, earthier successor to Electric Ladyland's psychedelic excursions — the later tracks, ironically enough, cut at that album's long promised and long-delayed studio namesake — and also show him working in some genuinely new directions. For starters, Hendrix's voice emerges here as a genuinely powerful instrument in its own right — his voice was never as exposed in the mix of his songs as it is here; partly this is because Hendrix and engineer Eddie Kramer never finished embellishing the songs, or completed the final mixes. But whatever the reasons, the change is refreshing — Hendrix's voice is not only powerful and expressive throughout, but a more melodic instrument than it seemed on his earlier releases; indeed, hearing these sides is a bit like listening to those middle-years Muddy Waters recordings when Chess Records had the Chicago blues legend abandon his guitar playing in favor of concentrating on his singing; the results might not be what all fans expected, but it sure sounds good, because it turns out that Hendrix had an expressive voice and was also moving his music into new areas that were stimulating him. A lot of the material here shows Hendrix, for the first time, moving his songs specifically into a black music idiom, embracing R&B and funk elements in his singing, playing, and overall sound; some of it could qualify as Hendrix's extension of his years playing with the Isley Brothers. Songs here such as "Freedom," "Izabella," "Angel," and "Dolly Dagger" show him finally acknowledging that musical world that he had largely by-passed, and the closer, "Belly Button Window," is one of his most successful traditional bluesy outings. The psychedelic workouts are more jam-like and experimental, and the ballads are prettier and even more dreamlike in their background soundscapes. "Astro Man" also captures a light moment for the artist, as he opens the guitar workout with a quote from the Mighty Mouse theme song, sotto voce beneath the guitar. And speaking of the guitar, despite the prominence of Hendrix's vocals on a lot of this album, the guitar playing is pretty much up to the standard that one would expect, if not necessarily the final versions of some of the songs. Most of the material on First Rays of the New Rising Sun surfaced among the various posthumous Hendrix LPs issued from the 1970s through the early 1990s, but a lot of it was tampered with, mostly in the form of posthumous overdubbed embellishments supervised by producer Alan Douglas — all of that has been stripped off and the multi-track masters retrieved and restored. What he would have eventually come up with and released as his next musical statement is anyone's guess, but this gets you as close to that answer — and that vision — as you're ever likely to get. It is the best representation of where the songs were at the point that he died, and it's fully competitive, in terms of merits and surprises, with his trio of completed studio albums.

Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Soup (1995)


Voodoo Soup was supposed to be the outtake album that got it right. Instead, it was another in a line of botched attempts to re-create Jimi Hendrix's unfinished final studio album. For most fans, the re-recorded drum tracks by the drummer of the Knack was the most unforgivable sin, yet the album is also poorly sequenced and lacks several important tracks. The sound is polished to a disturbingly bright sheen, while the cover art is garishly retro.

V.A. - In From The Storm - Front


"The performances featured on this compilation celebrate Jimi Hendrix's unique spirit and remarkable catalog in a symphonic context," writes annotator John McDermott of an album "featuring Sting, Carlos Santana, Brian Hay, John McLaughlin, Taj Mahal, Eric Schenkman, Steve Lukather, Paul Rodgers, Buddy Miles, Bootsy Collins, Tony Williams, Stanley Clarke, Robben Ford, Sass Jordan, Cozy Powell, Corey Glover, Hiram Bullock, Toots Thielemans, Bernie Worrell, Doug Pinnick, Dave Abbruzzese, Billy Cox, Noel Redding, and Steve Vai with the London Metropolitan Orchestra." The real force behind this Hendrix tribute album is producer/engineer Eddie Kramer, who engineered Hendrix's original albums. Unlike other tribute albums, in which a group of cover songs are collected from established artists, In from the Storm features performances by one-time ensembles put together specially by Kramer, usually featuring the London Metropolitan Orchestra. For the most part, Kramer attempts to copy the original arrangements and recordings, even to the point of recreating the swirling, phased echo effects on the songs from Axis: Bold as Love. The guitarists subjugate their own styles, trying to impersonate Hendrix (even Carlos Santana), and so do the vocalists. The best tracks are the most imaginative ones, a purely orchestral version of "Little Wing" with Thielemans playing the melody on harmonica and a non-orchestral funk version of "Purple Haze" played by some of the original members of Bootsy's Rubber Band with Miles on vocals. Otherwise, there's little reason to listen to these versions as opposed to Hendrix's originals.

Jimi Hendrix - By Himself - The Home Recordings (1995)


This CD is only available (quite legitimately) with the hardback comic/graphic biography Voodoo Child: The Illustrated Legend Of Jimi Hendrix. Be warned that if you're primarily (or only) interested in this half-hour disc of previously unreleased material, it only comes at a high price ($35 or so). If you want to take the plunge, you'll find the music -- recorded unaccompanied by Hendrix in New York around April of 1968 -- quite worthwhile. The guitar is electric, but this is basically Hendrix Unplugged, with much quieter, reflective, and personal versions of songs that would get the full-on electric treatment on Electric Ladyland and other albums. "1983," "Gypsy Eyes," "Voodoo Chile," and "Angel" are particularly fascinating to experience in this context, as we hear Jimi tentatively working out (and sometimes fumbling through) skeletal versions of these compositions, with some different lyrics appearing on occasion. What this lacks in typical Hendrix firepower, it makes up for in poetic delicacy. In some respects, these performances bring us closer to the tender heart of his work than the famous official versions of these classics.

Jimi Hendrix - Welcome To The Electric Circus (1994)


Recorded at The Falkoner Cetret Copenhagen, Denmark, 10.01.1929. Jimi's show at the Falkoner Centret in Copenhagen, Denmark. The gruelling pace of this European jaunt continues (3 days / 6 shows with 2 more tomorrow!!). Despite this, Jimi & Co. turn in some great performances this night IMO. Tape survives of the complete first show. The mix is reasonably listenable but, as is typical, the guitar loudest (no complaints). The vocals suffer the most, the victim of yet another woefully inadequate sound system. Songs in which the guitar phrases around the voice (I Don't Live Today, Red House) fare a bit better but on the louder stuff the voice is essentially missing.

Jimi Hendrix - Blues (1994)


While Jimi Hendrix remains most famous for his hard rock and psychedelic innovations, more than a third of his recordings were blues-oriented. This CD contains 11 blues originals and covers, eight of which were previously unreleased. Recorded between 1966 and 1970, they feature the master guitarist stretching the boundaries of electric blues in both live and studio settings. Besides several Hendrix blues-based originals, it includes covers of Albert King and Muddy Waters classics, as well as a 1967 acoustic version of his composition "Hear My Train a Comin'."

Jimi Hendrix - Bleeding Heart - Live In New York (1994)


Bleeding Heart is a posthumous live album by Jimi Hendrix released officially in 1994 by Castle Communications. The album documents Hendrix's jam session at The Scene club, 301 West 46th Street, New York City in March 1968. Other musicians on the recordings are unknown, though it is possible that the bassist is Randy Hobbs and the drummer is Randy Zherringer, members of The Scene's house band at the time. It has been wrongly noted that Noel Redding and Johnny Winter appear. Bleeding Heart was released at various times in the past under various different names including High, Live 'N Dirty, Woke Up This Morning and Found Myself Dead, Sunshine of Your Love, Sky High, Live at the Scene Club, Red House, New York Sessions and Tomorrow Never Knows, though all were unofficial releases. Jim Morrison – vocals, voice, harmonica, screaming.

Jimi Hendrix - The Ultimate Experience (1993)


As a single-disc compilation, The Ultimate Experience is hard to beat. Drawing from all of the original Jimi Hendrix Experience albums, the 20-track collection hits all of the major highpoints — "Purple Haze," "All Along the Watchtower," "Little Wing," "Red House," "The Wind Cries Mary," "Highway Chile," "Angel" — and gives an accurate impression of why Hendrix was so revolutionary and influential. All three of Hendrix's completed studio albums are mandatory listening, but The Ultimate Experience is a terrific introduction to the guitarist.

V.A. - The Monterey International Pop Festival June 16-17-18-1967 (1992)


The Monterey International Pop Music Festival took place from June 16 to June 18, 1967. Over 60,000 people attended, and it is often regarded as the precursor to Woodstock. Held at the Monterey County Fairgrounds in Monterey, California, the festival was planned by John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas, producer Alan Pariser, and publicist Derek Taylor. The festival board included members of The Beatles and The Beach Boys. San Francisco was the epicenter of the "counter-culture"; young people journeyed there to live an alternative lifestyle meant to increase personal freedom, yet live in collective harmony. This transformation of ideals and life was explored through psychedelic light shows, art, music, and drugs, like marijuana and LSD. The Monterey Pop Festival embodied these themes of San Francisco and the counter-culture and is generally regarded as one of the beginnings of the “Summer of Love” in 1967. The artists performed for free, with all revenue donated to charity, with the exception of Ravi Shankar, who was paid $3,000 for his afternoon-long performance on the sitar. It was estimated that 55,000 to 90,000 people were at the festival at its peak at midnight on Sunday. Reserved seats were $6.50 for each evening show, while entrance to the adjacent field was a nominal $1.00. The festival is generally regarded (along with the album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band released two weeks earlier) as the apex of the "Summer of Love." The festival became legendary for the first major American appearances by Jimi Hendrix (who was booked on the insistence of board member Paul McCartney) and The Who. It was also the first major public performance for Janis Joplin, who appeared as a member of Big Brother and The Holding Company, and Otis Redding, backed by Booker T. & The MG's. Redding would die only a few months later. Hendrix, inspired by Pete Townshend's guitar-smashing, ended his Monterey performance by kneeling over his guitar with mock reverence, pouring lighter fluid over it, setting it aflame, and then smashing it up. Many record company executives were in attendance (paying $150 apiece for their seats in a special area just below the stage), and a number of the performers won recording contracts based on their appearance at the festival. Columbia Records signed Big Brother and The Holding Company, and Jerry Wexler used the festival to advance the career of Otis Redding. Several acts were also notable for their non-appearance. A variety of reasons were given for The Beach Boys' cancellation: as an admission that they could not compete alongside hippie acts, a rift between Brian Wilson and the rest of the band over their failure to complete Smile, the follow up to Pet Sounds, or Carl Wilson's problems with the draft board. Musician Donovan was refused a visa to enter the United States because of a 1966 drug bust. Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band was also invited to appear but according to the liner notes for the CD reissue of their album Safe As Milk, the band reportedly turned the offer down at the insistence of guitarist Ry Cooder, who felt the group was not ready. Although The Rolling Stones did not play, guitarist and founder Brian Jones attended and appeared on stage to introduce Hendrix. Jones was known as "king of the festival". According to Eric Clapton, Cream did not perform because the band's manager wanted to make a bigger splash for their American debut. Dionne Warwick and the Impressions were advertised on some of the early posters for the event, but Warwick dropped out due to a conflict in booking that weekend: she was booked at the Fairmont Hotel and it was thought that if she canceled that appearance it would negatively affect her career. She considered sneaking off between sets to perform at the festival, but ultimately decided against it. The Kinks were invited, but could not get a work visa to enter the US due to a dispute with the American Federation of Musicians. Eric Burdon and The Animals later that same year sang a song about the festival entitled "Monterey", which quoted a line from the Byrds song "Renaissance Fair" ("I think that maybe I'm dreamin'"). In the song, Burdon mentions Monterey performers The Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, Ravi Shankar, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Hugh Masekela, The Grateful Dead,and The Rolling Stones' Brian Jones ("Her Majesty's Prince Jones smiled as he moved among the crowd"). Jones did not perform. The instruments used in the song imitate the styles of these performers. A number of other artists performed, including blues singer Lou Rawls and singer-songwriter Laura Nyro. Many rock bands made appearances as well, including The Association, Buffalo Springfield, Country Joe and The Fish, Moby Grape, and Quicksilver Messenger Service. Blues-rock bands were well-represented, among them Canned Heat, The Electric Flag, The Steve Miller Band, and The Blues Project. The Mamas and the Papas, who helped organize the event (which prevented them from doing any rehearsals), were the closing act of the festival. Jimi Hendrix huddled backstage before the Monterey Pop Festival with Pete Townshend, Janis Joplin, and Brian Jones. When Townshend insisted that Hendrix headline over the Who that day, Hendrix said, "If I've gotta follow you on, I'm gonna pull all the stops". Hendrix then blazed through a 45-minute set capped by setting his guitar afire, then smashing it and throwing the remnants into a delirious crowd who were watching Hendrix's first-ever American show. Hendrix is said to have taken several "hits" of LSD before his performance.

Jimi Hendrix, Lightnin' Rod & Buddy Miles - Doriella Du Fontaine (1992)


Both songs recorded at the record Plant 11/69 and produced by Alan Douglas. In November 1969 Jimi, Alafia Pudim, Buddy Miles and Alan Douglas went into the Record Plant and recorded a song Alafia had written called "Doriella Du Fontaine." Jimi played guitar and bass, Alafia sang and Buddy played drums and organ. Alan Douglas produced it. Alafia was singer for the group The Last Poets, where he used the name Lightnin' Rod. There are three versions of the track on this CD. An eight-minute plus version, a shorter (four-minute) instrumental version where the vocals have been wiped, and a "radio edit" version, released for airplay presumably because the unedited lyrics (printed in full in UniVibes issue 29) are unlikely to be broadcast on mainstream radio.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - The Last Experience Concert: His Final Performance (1990)


On February 24th, 1969, Jimi Hendrix performed at Royal Albert Hall. The concert was recorded and filmed for a planned documentary/concert movie entitled Experience. The movie was never formally released; however, it does exist and the audio masters were packaged and repackaged into many different products, including the 1987 title The Last Experience Concert: His Final Performance. This particular title is extremely misleading, as Hendrix went on to perform many times after this concert. There are several titles that feature the identical Royal Albert Hall performance, so collectors of Hendrix concert discs should be careful to check song lists and running times so as not to duplicate a prior purchase of this performance. Fans convinced they do not yet own a recording of this concert are encouraged to pick one up. The sound quality is decent, if a little inconsistent, and the performances are powerful. Highlights include Hendrix's version of Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love" and the guitarist's own masterpieces like "Voodoo Chile." There are some extended versions on this particular release that appear in edited form on other offerings, which could make this a more attractive purchase to some.
