Live - The World of Jimi Hendrix
Comment:
Jimi Hendrix hasn't played a date in nearly 40 years now, so it's a safe bet you never saw him live. But when he hit the stage, he [i]exploded[/i] like a bottle rocket in a fireworks stand, which is why we've assembled his psyche-searing best — to give you an all-access pass to the ultimate, career-spanning Hendrix fantasy concert. At 1967's Monterey Pop Festival, he entered a virtual unknown and left a legend. If the fuzz-bomb attack of "Wild Thing" didn't start off wild [i]enough[/i], he sent the song into meter-pinning [i]chaos[/i] with a mad-genius, mid-tune riff on "Strangers In the Night," and capped the show with rock's definitive Kodak moment: setting his Strat on fire — literally — and smashing it to kindling. Two years later, at Woodstock, he tore the guts out of the national anthem and let his Marshall stacks scream their allegiance, burying half-a-million rain-soaked hippies under an avalanche of feedback that reverberated all the way to the White House. For all that he was in the studio — and that's a lot — Jimi [i]possessed[/i] the stage like Rasputin, Casanova, and Genghis Khan all rolled into one, and you can't call yourself a rock fan until you've heard him taking an audience as his willing captive.
