Product Description

Description

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 thenine-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 historyin the making.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jimi At His Very Best., 23 Oct 2007

By	Alan Burridge (Poole,, Dorset. United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Old enough to have seen him on his very first Top Of The Pops appearance, on The Lulu Show and live at Bournemouth Winter Gardens both on The Walker Brothers and The Pink Floyd/Move tour, in my opinon, which you can take or leave as you wish, this is Jimi Hendrix at his very best.
His first gig back in America after ripping the whole scene apart with his genius here in the UK, Jimi and The Who didn't want to follow one another on the bill, so he and Pete Townshend flipped a coin, and Jimi lost; hence, after The Who destroying their equipment, Jimi had to go one better, setting fire to his guitar AND destroying it. But even with that aside, it is, for me, his best era; with him still 'on his way up' and a little naieve, yet a superb performance and jaw-dropping guitar playing.
A definite 'must have' for the aspiring guitarist or rock fanatic's collection, every track a gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitive live Jimi, 13 April 2008

By	jbezzo "jbezzo" (Cumbria) - See all my reviews

Of all his live concert performances, Jimi at Monterey should be an essential part of any Hendrix fans collection. Woodstock? Moments of brilliance in an overlong and under rehearsed set. Isle of Wight? Not perhaps as horrible as they say but still, Hendrix at a physical and creative low ebb. Monterey captures Jimi at an ascendant point in his career. He'd left America a few months earlier, as Jimmy James, an unknown struggling musician, and now he was coming back as the cause celebre of London's music scene, having been embraced by everyone from the Beatles and the Stones, to Eric Clapton and the Who.

This was Jimi's chance to make a name for himself in the land of his birth and he took it with the same sense of purpose of a wannabe taking the stage at talent night at the Apollo. His set was short (compared to Woodstock, which clocked in at over two hours) yet he pulled out all the stops, kicking of with a blistering "Killing Floor" (the song with which he had slain Eric Clapton the previous year) and included his three hit UK singles, "Hey Joe", "Purple Haze" and a tender "Wind Cries Mary". His obvious debt to Bob Dylan was marked by a majestic version of "Like A Rolling Stone" and the set built towards an fiery climax as Jimi's strat surrendered to the flames at the end of "Wild Thing"

Sure, Hendrix would reach greater creative peaks over the course of the coming years, but as a single snapshot of legend being born, this is the CD to rescue if the house is burning down.
