Jimi Hendrix: Live at Monterey Dvd Review

Jimi Hendrix, and the Experience came to Monterey, in 1967. This was a make, or break concert for Jimi in America. In this dvd, you will get to see his concert, a documentary, and some nice bonus material. This is the Definitive Edition, and it came out in 2007.

The documentary called American Landing, explains alot. It goes into detail about the scene of Monterey, the importance of this concert for Jimi, how a year before Jimi was an unknown musician in America. Then being discovered by Chas Chandler, who brought him into England. Then getting the Experience together, and making a top selling debut album. Even with all the success, Jimi was still unknown in America. After the documentary, the concert begins.

Gallery- These are photos taken of Hendrix and the Experience before during and after.

After watching this, I was just amazed of how well this was put together. The music was just incredible. Hendrix was just awesome. I think this concert is way better then Woodstock. I say this, because Jimi was already established at Woodstock. At Monterey, he was unknown, and had to be successful. This a must have and must buy for any fan of Jimi Hendrix.
