Sobre el álbum
"Live at Monterey" es el documento sonoro de la actuación que lo cambió todo, y una grabación legendaria en la discografía de Jimi Hendrix. Este disco captura el concierto de The Jimi Hendrix Experience en el Festival Pop de Monterey de 1967, su primera gran actuación en Estados Unidos, que los convirtió en estrellas de la noche a la mañana.
La energía que desprende el álbum es absolutamente eléctrica. La banda, consciente de que se jugaba su futuro, entrega una de las actuaciones más salvajes y explosivas de la historia del rock. La interpretación es cruda, visceral y llena de una pirotecnia sónica que dejó al público estadounidense boquiabierto.
El concierto culmina con el icónico momento en que Jimi Hendrix rocía su guitarra con líquido inflamable y le prende fuego, un acto de performance artística que se convirtió en una de las imágenes más famosas de la historia del rock. Ciertamente, esa noche nació la leyenda.
"Live at Monterey" es el sonido de una explosión. Es el Big Bang de la carrera de Hendrix en su propio país, un testimonio de un momento irrepetible que cambió el curso de la música popular para siempre. Su escucha sigue siendo una experiencia sobrecogedora.
