LINK REMOVED - OFFICIALLY RELEASED

Born in Seattle, Washington on November 27, 1942, Jimi Hendrix was American by birth, but it would be the United Kingdom that first recognized his talent. He was a guitarist for a band Curtis Knight and the Squires when in late 1966, he moved to London after being discovered by bassist Chas Chandler of the Animals. With a few months, months, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, featuring Noel Redding on bass and Mitch Mitchell on drums, had three top ten hits in the UK - Hey Joe, Purple Haze, and The Wind Cries Mary. Even after a mesmerizing performance at Monterey Popin June 1967, Hendrix was still more popular in Europe than his home country. After all, when Hendrix toured with the Monkees in the summer of 1967, it was the latter band that had top billing! It would take until November 1968, when his album Electric Ladyland hit the top spot on the Billboard charts for Hendrix to achieve the same level of fame in his home country as he had abroad. This soundboard captures Jimi on April 26, 1969, 45 years ago today in Los Angeles. The show took place about 6 months after the release of Electric Ladyland, and 4 months before his historic performance at Woodstock The show was also one of the last performed by the original Experience, as Noel Redding would soon leave the band due to repeated disagreements with Jimi.

Speedy, thanks so much for this great post. Jimi was is and always will be the guitar standard for which all will be measured bar none lots of great rock guitarsts Page. Clapton, Eddie Van Halen Beck, Angus, Iommi, Keith Richards, Duane Allman too many to list but Jimi's giant shadow dwarfs them all combined. Wanted to ask you if this has ever been released officially. saw it for sale on amazon, If it is official im sure it has probably been tampered with in the studio overdubs and or edits as usual HO HUM, when will they learn but wanted to give you a heads up in case you have to remove it, also can you post a show that was once released but is now out of print , Thanks so much

just trying to look out after you. don't want you risking this great blog, fortunately I was able to download it before you had to take it down. at least I know that this performance is real. im sure that the official has probably been messed with in the studio as is almost always the case , what about the out of print scenario , are you able to post a show if that's the case , thanks again

I take no chances. If it is, was, or even may have been officially released, I don't post it. Don't want to give anyone any reason to shut this place down.

That's understandable, just wish when something was releasd officially it was the real deal. an official release should be an upgrade but that's not usually the case. Of course they sound perfect. They should if you redo it in the studio release it to the public and say its live. Thank goodness I got this show before you removed it. I will cherish it. You have the best blog on the web. thanks again for all you do
