The first US tour for Jimi Hendrix and The Experience kicked off at the Monterey Pop Festival in June of 1967. AS Hendrix and his band took the stage, the crowd must have known something special was about to be witnessed. The first song was a cover of Howling Wolf’s “Killing Floor” and from the first note played, the band never looked back. It was a full speed ahead guitar rock explosion.

Set List:
Killing Floor
Foxy Lady
Like A Rolling Stone
Rock Me Baby
Hey Joe
Can You See Me
Wind Cries Mary
Purple Haze
Wild Thing
