Description

“Hendrix in the West” is a posthumous album featuring live performances by Jimi Hendrix, released in January 1972 by Polydor Records.

The album tracks are split between those recorded in 1969 by the Jimi Hendrix Experience with bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell and in 1970 with Billy Cox and Mitchell during The Cry of Love Tour – – featuring songs from Hendrix’s performances at the Royal Albert Hall on February, 24, 1969, the San Diego Sports Arena on May, 24, 1969, Berkeley Community Theatre on May 30, 1970 and the Isle of Wight Festival on August 30, 1970.

The album details are taken from the original 1971 Reprise LP record labels. The original UK Polydor release reverses the sides, with “Johnny B. Goode” opening side one and “The Queen” side two. Both the Reprise and Polydor album liner notes list the tracks in a different order than the actual LPs.
