Product code: The Jimi 2024 Hendrix Experience Winterland
Over four decades since the six shows - recorded over three nights in October 1968 and documented in this four-CD set - that helped define the legend of Jimi Hendrix, 2024 it's easy to forget just how groundbreaking he truly was. Other electric guitar heroes have come and gone, feedback is now an accepted part of the instrument's arsenal, and the extended solo is largely the domain of the muso. But, despite his death less than two years later, Hendrix endures, and even the most hardened of cynics cannot deny the power of performances that robbed Eric Clapton of his reputation as the world's best guitarist.
