The Jimi Hendrix Experience will be releasing a new live album on November 10th, titled "Jimi Hendrix Experience: Hollywood Bowl August 18, 1967". You can pre-order it here. My understanding is this is a soundboard bootleg. Ahead of the release we get Killing Floor. Hendrix introduces the song like this:
"Right now I’d like to do a song, it’s a little thing by Howlin’ Wolf"
I thought it better if he told you want the song is. That aside, this is a brilliant rendition. This was also at the time that Hendrix wasn't quite known as well state side as he was overseas.This makes this that much better. It's also amazing how fresh it sounds all these years later. I like to express how fortunate we are that moments like this are captured and we get to relish in them. I would have to say you need to imagine being there and witnessing at the time. Today things like this aren't as impactful as they were then. We are spoiled now with everything that has happened in Rock music. One might say we are jaded at this point. But don't let that discourage from appreciating this. Check it out below.
