You had to be there | The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Live at Monterey

On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Plouffe listen to Jamie's next pick, The Jimi Hendrix Experience's "Live at Monterey". A 1:1 recording of the group's debut performance in the United States, it was for many years only available in part. Like our second episode covering The Who's "Live at Leeds" album, this concert is of some historical significance and captures the live performance of a legendary group. But is it something that you had to be there to experience? While the recording captures all of the sound checks and stage chatter, it loses out on the theatrics of a Jimi Hendrix performance - the playing with his teeth, behind his head and lighting the guitar on fire. Will the boys be satisfied or will they be left wanting more? Come along and find out!
