Featuring six previously unseen live performances from 1966 to 1970, including the Monterey, Isle of Wright and Woodstock Festivals.

After finding fame in the U.K., Hendrix brought his act back to the U.S., where his influential playing style left a blazing imprint on a whole generation of musicians.
