Experience Hendrix Tour takes part of its inspiration from Jimi Hendrix's desire to bring together ensemble casts of musicians with a wide variety of backgrounds, in what he dubbed "The Electric Church." This concept is perhaps best exemplified when Hendrix gathered a group of musicians for Woodstock in August 1969, taking to the stage as the newly named, Gypsy Sun & Rainbows.
In recent years, Experience Hendrix Tour has brought together a number of different artists, both young and old, to celebrate the music of Jimi Hendrix. Our new Jimi Hendrix Webisode series will bring fans closer to those who have performed with the tour.
In our fifth instalment of the new Jimi Hendrix Webisode Series, Living Colour's lead singer, Corey Glover talks about how his involvement with the Experience Hendrix Tour is like being at the 'foot of history' and how the influences of Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy, Hubert Sumlin and others makes this event so special.

Forty years ago Jimi Hendrix returned to his native country and, in one fell swoop changed the musical landscape for all time. It was the galvanizing, US debut performance of The Jimi Hendrix Experience at The Monterey International Pop Festival that propelled Hendrix and his band mates, Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding, to the top ranks of international rock royalty. Now for the first time ever, The Jimi Hendrix Experience at Monterey is available on DVD. It's a remarkable visual and aural document that reconfirms what the Monterey audience bore witness to on June 18, 1967: Hendrix's unbridled talent and flair for showmanship are unparalleled in the annals of music.
The set of songs that The Jimi Hendrix Experience performed at Monterey was introduced by Brian Jones, the Rolling Stones' guitarist whose presence at the festival amounted to a kind of benediction by an acknowledged rock god. He knew full well who he was introducing as Hendrix had moved to London fewer than nine months earlier and achieved icon status in the U.K. in very short order. His conquest of his native land, though, would be achieved almost instantaneously at Monterey.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience Live At Monterey offers all existing film footage of that epochal performance presented in its original sequence. The original 16mm camera reversal footage shot by D.A. Pennebaker's Monterey Pop film crew has been transferred to high-definition specs and is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.33:1. The DVD soundtrack features new 5.1 surround and 2.0 stereo mixes by Eddie Kramer, the engineer so closely associated with the Jimi Hendrix and his legacy, from the original eight-track live recordings made at the concert by remote engineer Wally Heider.
Beyond the performance of the band's set, The Jimi Hendrix Experience Live At Monterey offers numerous bonus features. A Second Look, a unique interactive feature allows the viewer to switch between multiple, previously unseen camera angles to view several of the performances as never before. In addition, American Landing, a new documentary that includes previously unreleased interviews with Mitchell and Redding - and Jimi Hendrix, himself -- is included. There's also Music, Love and Flowers, an inside look at the Monterey International Pop Festival with co-founder Lou Adler. Live performances of "Stone Free" and "Like A Rolling Stone, the two earliest known unreleased Jimi Hendrix Experience performances, shot February 25, 1967 at Chelmsford, England are also part of the package.
Voluminous liner notes by Mitch Mitchell and Hendrix scholar and Experience Hendrix's catalog development director John McDermott, as well as numerous rare and previously unpublished photos of Hendrix, the band and memorabilia of the time are also part of the lavish package that is The Jimi Hendrix Experience Live At Monterey.
I wish I could have seen him play that white strat , left handed genuis... He is so greatly missed... Anyone who plays the guitar must have respect for this man who lived a short career but gave us so much to remember in his music....RIP Jimi
