Jimi Hendrix

Full title - Blue Wild Angel/Live At The Isle Of Wight. This special limited edition double-disc marks the first complete release of Hendrix's headlining set at the Isle Of Wight Festival in 1970, his last major public appearance.

Backed by Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell & Band of Gypsies bassist Billy Cox, Hendrix ranges from the improvisatory cacophony of 'Machine Gun' & reworkings of his standard blues workouts 'Red House' & 'Hey Joe' to renditions of 'Dolly Dagger', 'Ezy Rider', 'Freedom', & 'Hey Baby' that trade on the more rhythmic R&B & jazz influences he'd diligently worked into his music.
