Jimi Hendrix Experience- Paris ‘67, Vinyl LP RSD Black Friday 2021

Another amazing release from the official Jimi Hendrix ‘bootleg label’ Dagger Records, this raw, direct to two-track, live recording from the Olympia Theatre in Paris was captured for French national radio and documents the Experience’s triumphant return to France almost one year to the date of their 1966 debut.

Recorded on October 9, 1967, The Experience were in top form, roaring out of the gate with “Stone Free,” and following with vibrant renditions of “Hey Joe,” “Fire,” “The Wind Cries Mary” and “Catfish Blues.” “Rock Me Baby” and a compact “Red House” prefaced a grinding, muscular take of “Purple Haze,” followed by “Wild Thing,” replete with a rousing, tongue in cheek lead vocal that emphatically closed the show.
