JIMI HENDRIX This release features a soundboard recording of the live performance at the Newport Pop Festival in Los Angeles in June 1969. It captures the Experience's final tour (specifically the June 20th show) and the June 22nd performance, which featured Jimi Hendrix collaborating with a stellar lineup of artists. As this was the Experience's last tour before their 1969 breakup, the internal discord within the group is palpable. The members often played independently and haphazardly—sometimes even launching into a song while Jimi was still speaking to the audience between tracks—making this a unique and valuable archival recording. The June 22nd set features Buddy Miles (later of Band of Gypsys) on drums; perhaps liberated from the constraints of the Experience, Jimi delivers a high-energy performance with truly spectacular guitar work. The audio is sourced from a soundboard recording; sections that were previously cut or missing on earlier releases have been patched with excellent-quality audience recordings to present the full scope of the concert. While there are two minor flaws—a fade-in caused by a tape change and a slight cut-out at the very end—the release allows listeners to fully enjoy a truly remarkable performance.
