James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 - September 18, 1970) was an American rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Although his mainstream career spanned only four years, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music, and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music".
Born in Seattle, Washington, Hendrix began playing guitar at the age of 15. In 1961, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and trained as a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne Division; he was granted an honorable discharge the following year. Soon afterward, he moved to Clarksville, Tennessee, and began playing gigs on the Chitlin' Circuit, earning a place in the Isley Brothers' backing band and later with Little Richard, with whom he continued to work through mid-1965. He then played with Curtis Knight and the Squires before moving to England in late 1966 after being discovered by Linda Keith, who in turn interested bassist Chas Chandler of the Animals in becoming his first manager. Within months, Hendrix had earned three UK top ten hits with the Jimi Hendrix Experience: "Hey Joe", "Purple Haze", and "The Wind Cries Mary". He achieved fame in the U.S. after his performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, and in 1968 his third and final studio album, Electric Ladyland, reached number one in the U.S.; it was Hendrix's most commercially successful release and his first and only number one album. The world's highest-paid performer, he headlined the Woodstock Festival in 1969 and the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 before his accidental death from barbiturate-related asphyxia on September 18, 1970, at the age of 27.
Hendrix was inspired musically by American rock and roll and electric blues. He favored overdriven amplifiers with high volume and gain, and was instrumental in utilizing the previously undesirable sounds caused by guitar amplifier feedback. He helped to popularize the use of a wah-wah pedal in mainstream rock, and was the first artist to use stereophonic phasing effects in music recordings. Holly George-Warren of Rolling Stone commented: "Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. Players before him had experimented with feedback and distortion, but Hendrix turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began."
Hendrix was the recipient of several music awards during his lifetime and posthumously. In 1967, readers of Melody Maker voted him the Pop Musician of the Year, and in 1968, Rolling Stone declared him the Performer of the Year. Disc and Music Echo honored him with the World Top Musician of 1969 and in 1970, Guitar Player named him the Rock Guitarist of the Year. The Jimi Hendrix Experience was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. Rolling Stone ranked the band's three studio albums, Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold as Love, and Electric Ladyland, among the 100 greatest albums of all time, and they ranked Hendrix as the greatest guitarist and the sixth greatest artist of all time.

I was there. Saw all the bands at that time. Jimi was from another dimension.
Sounds like sound board recordings but it's better than never hearing Jimi at all!!! Thanks!!!
I have no idea where you finding all these recordings, you're doing a great job.
I was there. 15 years old.
Bought 2nd balcony seats at showtime. Was NOT sold out.
Viva Jimi.
thanks you very much
Hendrix slips into a momentary nonbluesy cadence at the beginning of Red House and explores the major/minor contrast the rest of the way, culminating in an incredible interlude before the finale with everyone in the Garden on the edge of their seats hanging on to every single note. Mesmerising and haunting expression of pure art and genius.
What’s non bluesy about the opening cadence to Red House?? It’s as bluesy as it gets!
Wow 🤩 I cannot believe it! James Marshall Hendrix in my own lil’ town in the late’60’s to boot 👢. I don’t understand why he played such a short set though huh? The only reason I can think is either he’s opening for another band Or this was the better recording on his tour, but I am still grateful that ya captured anything from his band back in the day really! I just wanted to thank You 🙏🏻 yet again for this presentation of Jimi’s performance at the Garden 🪴 Period my friend. Sincerely yours truly, DJP ex PostMortem and Kilslug Boston Massachusetts USA Amerikkka of course 🇨🇳🏳️
MAGICAL
I also was there as a freshman at NU.... Rick Nelson and the Milk Machine opened the concert and the audience got very hostile. Our Seats high up in the Old Garden....
Left the Garden that night with a hearing loss for a few hours.... numb
Great aroma emanating from below and the guitar masturbation carnage was a delight and very patriotic.
Visually scarring and well worth it!
Miss you Jimi
It was the Soft Machine, who opened up for Jimi.

Was at this Garden show 2nd row floor center isle seats. Late tickets purchase at Out of Town tickets in Harvard Sq. Great show. Also saw both Carousel shows in Framingham in 8/68. Got there early for the second show and watched the first show from the edge of the tent. Our tickets for the second show were behind the amp stacks and Soft Machine said all you people behind come around front. Ended up next to the stage on the stairs/ramp 4 feet away from Hendrix.
Not the complete concert. I was there. My 17th birthday. Missing I Don't Live Today (He dedicated to the American Indian), Hey Joe & Wild Thing (Roadies valiantly bracing the massive stack of Marshalls as Jimi careened his guitar into them).
Really cool recordings! Sounds like it’s recorded in the audience,,, i really get the true vibes... like it might have been at his concerts ! Thanks!
Estreno fabuloso; esta semana comenzó con los mejores auspicios, un recital de Hendrix.
Real Good Red House! Real Good~
I was at this...my 16th Birthday.
