Jimi Hendrix performing a dazzling solo during a show in Stockholm in 1969.
For over 40+ years, this footage was thought to be nonexistent. In 2018, after many years, the footage was finally released in its entirety.
For the first time, fans were able to see The Experience playing a short, yet highly efficient, set for all the fans in Sweden. Hendrix particularly is on fire here - delivering a high intensity solo with the usual bag of tricks he brought to the table.
The event was not meant to have been preserved at all. As Catarina Wilson of Sweden’s public television station SVT explained to the BBC, the tape should have been erased and reused because the station couldn’t afford to keep so much raw footage. Some technician at the station likely realized its value and stashed it away. Since it was unlabeled, the footage sat forgotten on the shelf for 35 years, until a team undertook a project of transferring archival material to digital and discovered the full Hendrix gig.
The band played with flawless precision, ripping through all of the hits that made Hendrix a household name. The set included Killing Floor, Spanish Castle Magic, Fire, Hey Joe, Voodoo Child (Slight Return), Red House, and Sunshine Of Your Love.
Enjoy!

On April 19th, Pink Floyd release a Collector’s Edition of The Dark Side Of The Moon on crystal clear vinyl. This will be a limited edition crystal clear 2-LP, 180g set of the classic album featuring UV artwork printing on the non-groove side. This set will feature the prism spectrum seen through the playable side of the vinyl while maintaining the best quality sound that fans expect. This 50th anniversary collector’s edition is housed in a gatefold sleeve with slipcase and an exclusive poster.
This is the first time that Pink Floyd have used this pioneering UV printing process on vinyl. The images are printed with a high end UV printer, using UV-LED light to dry the permanent ink on the side without audio on which the image is printed. This combination of one-sided audio and the UV print (on the side without audio) combines the best of both worlds: perfect audio and a beautiful image to enjoy.
