“I Was There: Hendrix at LA Forum by Billy F. Gibbons”

Los Angeles Forum - April 26, 1969 presents an extraordinary performance by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Before a raucous, sold-out house, Hendrix, drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Noel Redding tore through a unique set featuring highlights such as "I Don't Live Today," "Purple Haze," "Red House," and an astonishing medley of "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" and Cream's "Sunshine Of Your Love". One witness to that show was one Billy F. Gibbons who, before being a third of the legendary ZZ Top, was in the Texas band Moving Sidewalks that performed and hung with The Experience. In the audience as a fan, he gives his impression of that evening.

This pristine recording, newly mixed by Hendrix's longtime engineer Eddie Kramer, captures the original Jimi Hendrix Experience in their unrivaled, peak form. A portion of this performance was previously included as part of a short-lived Westwood One radio documentary box set [Lifelines 1990-1992] but has been unavailable in any form for two decades and this marks its first release on vinyl. The album - complete with liner notes from ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons who witnessed the show first hand - is available on CD and 2xLP and the digital release marks the first Hendrix album available in spatial audio. Each format gives this seminal performance its proper platform, presenting the complete performance mixed directly from the original eight-track master tapes.
