Jimi Hendrix - Live at Monterey Vinyl Record (New, 180 Gram Vinyl) 

The Jimi Hendrix Experience's first American performance! Includes guitar burning! 

1967's Monterey Pop Festival debuted The Jimi Hendrix Experience on American soil with a bang -- Hendrix played guitar like nobody had ever heard before, and crescendoed by burning his guitar on stage as an effigy -- cementing his status as a rock god almost overnight. 

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 Joe" while also offering up swaggering signature numbers such as "Foxey Lady" and "Purple Haze.
