Experience Hendrix presents unforgettable highlights from two star-studded tribute concerts to Jimi Hendrix hailed by critics and fans alike as the greatest guitarist of all time. Filmed in San Diego and at the Paramount Theatre in Hendrix's hometown of Seattle these special never-before-released performances feature legendary blues giants Buddy Guy and Hubert Sumlin coming together with Paul Rodgers former Rolling Stones lead guitarist Mick Taylor and the newest generation of guitar heroes including Kenny Wayne Shepherd Robert Randolph Pearl Jam's Mike McCready Kid Rock's Kenny Olson and Vernon Reid to celebrate Jimi's legacy. Joining forces with these great artists are Mitch Mitchell and Billy Cox from the Jimi Hendrix Experience as well as Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon from Double Trouble the powerful rhythm section who served the late Stevie Ray Vaughan. In his brief four-year reign as a superstar Jimi Hendrix expanded the vocabulary of the electric rock guitar more than anyone before or since. Hendrix was a master at coaxing all manner of unforeseen sonics from his instrument often with innovative amplification experiments that produced astral-quality feedback and roaring distortion. His frequent hurricane blasts of noise and dazzling showmanship - he could and would play behind his back and with his teeth and set his guitar on fire - has sometimes obscured his considerable gifts as a songwriter singer and master of a gamut of blues R&B and rock styles.
