The Jimi Hendrix Live at Monterey theatrical screening and 40th anniversary all-star tribute concert featuring Gary Moore (guitar) and surviving Jimi Hendrix and the Experience - Mitch Mitchell (drums) and Billy Cox (bass), is still going full steam ahead at the Hippodrome (in London's Leicester Square) on Thursday October 25th. A screening of Jimi's legendary Monterey performance will start at 7:45pm, followed by the all-star tribute concert at 9pm.
The Hippodrome event dovetails the October 29th release of "Jimi Hendrix Live at Monterey: Definitive Edition DVD, CD and HD DVD which features the new Jimi Hendrix documentary "American Landing". The Monterey Pop Festival footage celebrates the 40th anniversary of Hendrix's 1967 US debut with his band 'Jimi Hendrix and the Experience'.
The screening will be followed by a live concert performed by an all-star band featuring surviving Jimi Hendrix and The Experience musicians Mitch Mitchell (drums) and Billy Cox (bass), plus Gary Moore (guitar), Dave Bronze (bass) and Primal Scream's Darrin Mooney (drums). The theatrical screening and concert will be mixed by Jimi Hendrix's original recording engineer, Eddie Kramer.
