Jimi Hendrix's Triumphant Monterey Performance

On October 16, for the first time ever, ??The Jimi Hendrix Experience at Monterey?? will be released by Experience Hendrix/Geffen/UMe on DVD. The release highlights the performance which took place forty years ago when Jimi Hendrix returned to the US for his debut performance of The Jimi Hendrix Experience at The Monterey International Pop Festival. The performance propelled Hendrix and his band mates, Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding, to the top ranks of international rock royalty. 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??
