The Jimi Hendrix Experience “Monterey to the Hollywood Bowl” Short Film

Famed guitar virtuoso, Jimi Hendrix, went from an explosive show-stopping performance during the Monterey Pop Festival to opening for The Mamas and The Papas. What the audience did not know was the new band from England had a singer/guitar player from America, and they would be some of the first people to see him live before their debut album would change music forever.Experience Hendrix, L.L.C. is releasing Jimi Hendrix Experience: Hollywood Bowl on August 18, 1967, this November 10 on vinyl, CD, and all digital platforms. This live concert performance, captured just five days before the US release of Are You Experienced, their album debut, is notable for being one of the last times the band performed in front of an audience as relative unknowns.

Having already conquered the band’s UK base as well as Continental Europe over the previous ten months, the vast majority of the 17,000 plus Los Angeles concertgoers were there to see headliners The Mamas & The Papas and were caught off guard by Jimi Hendrix’ electrifying musicality and showmanship. Finally, the set can be enjoyed by the rest of the world for the first time ever; amazingly, not a single second of this unique, two-track live recording has ever been released before in any capacity, either via official channels or otherwise.
