Live At The Isle Of Fehmarn
This historically significant album features The Jimi Hendrix Experience¹s final live performance on September 6, 1970 during the Love & Peace Festival held on the Isle Of Fehmarn in Germany.
By the time The Experience took to the stage on September 6, audience tensions were guarded following a series of fights between German bikers, that had escalated in ferocity, and included the festival Box Office being robbed at gun point and Jimi Hendrix¹s own road manager, Gerry Stickells being attacked. Depsite these problems, The Experience delivered an enthusiastic hour-plus performance which saw Jimi lead the trio through a series of songs encompassing all of the different periods of the group¹s existence.
Jimi's Isle Of Fehmarn performance has been widely bootlegged over the last 35 years yet it was never professionally recorded. Amateur recordings made from the audience by fans have served as the only known documentation of this historic concert until now. As the eighth entry in this popular 'bootleg' series, Dagger presents a newly discovered recording made by the festival's promoters. Unbeknownst to Hendrix, the promoters captured the group's entire performance by feeding two overhead stage microphones into a consumer grade Revox reel-to-reel tape machine located off to the side of the stage. The resulting document, rough hewn and unmixed, is clear and not unlike the amateur audience recording featured on the initial Dagger offering Live At The Oakland Coliseum.
In addition to ³Killing Floor,² Live At The Isle Of Fehmarn also features ³Spanish Castle Magic,² ³All Along The Watchtower,² ³Hey Joe,² ³Hey Baby (New Rising Sun),² "Message to Love," ³Foxey Lady,² ³Red House,² ³Ezy Ryder,² ³Freedom,² ³Room Full Of Mirrors,² ³Purple Haze,² and a particularly memorable rendition of ³Voodoo Child (Slight Return).² Return).
