| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Filmed at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. | | Jimi Hendrix: Jimi Hendrix (vocals, guitar); Noel Redding (bass guitar, background vocals); Mitch Mitchell (drums). | | The concert that made Jimi Hendrix an international superstar, LIVE AT MONTEREY presents the legendary singer/guitarist's incendiary performance at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival in California. Although Hendrix was already renowned in the U.K. at the time of this show (hence an introduction by the Rolling Stones' Brian Jones), the wildly innovative six-stringer hadn't broken through in the States, a problem that the nine-song set quickly and gloriously fixed. | | Leading his Experience--the British rhythm section of bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell--the West Coast native tears through the bluesy "Killing Floor" and a fierce version of "Hey Jo," while also offering up swaggering signature numbers such as "Foxey Lady" and "Purple Haze." Though figuratively setting his fret board ablaze throughout the concert, Hendrix literally scorches his guitar at the end of the show, simultaneously igniting his career, which would burn out a mere three years later with his untimely death. While BAND OF GYPSYS is arguably a better performance document, LIVE AT MONTEREY is an indisputably iconic audio snapshot of rock history in the making. |

5 of 5 Complete reissue of landmark Hendrix U.S. debut Saturday, December 29, 2007
redtunictroll from Earth, USA
Yes it's been issued before, on both LP and CD, and no, there's nothing new on this CD (the accompanying DVD, on the other hand, pulls together a broad array of live footage), but a chestnut's a chestnut, no matter how many times it's released. And re-release with a new marketing angle is how record labels keep the classics selling. If you have an earlier complete edition, you needn't buy this one, but if you're new to Hendrix or never bought "Live at Monterey," you'll be glad that Hendrix's conservators have minted fresh copies of this 1967 U.S. debut. In hindsight it's impossible to experience what the Monterey crowd felt on that June day, hearing a fully-formed Hendrix lay down the axioms of hard rock; but even amongst the Hendrix saturated rock landscape of the last forty years, this set still sounds fresh. Hendrix is energized and combines with Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell to ably demonstrate the power of a rock trio. The 43-minute set (including dialog and tuning) features numerous Hendrix classics ("Foxey Lady," "Hey Joe," "The Wind Cries Mary," "Purple Haze," "Wild Thing"), a lengthy cover of Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" and raucous versions of Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor," B.B. King's "Rock Me Baby," and the original "Can You See Me." The set list was a primer for America, introducing Hendrix to the U.S., and it still makes an excellent introduction to Hendrix's music.
