The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Miami Pop Festival (CD)
Product Details
May 1968 placed Hendrix at the peak of his powers, barely a year into the Experience's run and already rewriting what electric guitar could mean in a live setting. The Miami Pop Festival captured him in that charged moment, months before the chaos of 1969 would begin reshaping the band's trajectory. Eddie Kramer's board recordings preserve the full dynamic range that made Hendrix's live show so overwhelming, the kind of document collectors have chased for decades.
Never previously available in any form, Miami Pop Festival, introduces the first recorded stage performances of "Hear My Train A Comin'" and "Tax Free" while showcasing definitive live takes on such classics as "Fire," "Hey Joe," "I Don't Live Today" and "Purple Haze." The package includes never before published photos taken at the festival and an essay by award-winning music journalist and Grammy Museum Executive Director Bob Santelli. This album includes the show as originally recorded on site by Hendrix's long term sound engineer, Eddie Kramer.
