Legacy Recordings
Ultimate Classic Rock is pleased to present the premiere of Jimi Hendrix‘s ‘Fire,‘ from the upcoming live CD ‘Miami Pop Festival.’
The album, which will be released on Nov. 5, features Hendrix’s
headlining gig at the two-day festival from the Gulfstream Park
racetrack in Hallandale, Fla., on May 18, 1968. The album includes
classic songs like ‘Hey Joe,’ ‘Foxey Lady’ and ‘Purple Haze.’ The
nine-song set includes two bonus performances. This is the first time
any songs from the fest have been released.
The live version of ‘Fire’ is indeed a pretty flammable performance
of the cut. Hendrix and the Experience tear through their song with a
ferocity that mirrored their pure power at the time.
Ultimate Classic Rock is giving away a Jimi Hendrix prize pack,
including a copy of the upcoming ‘Miami Pop Festival,’ a box set and a
T-shirt. To enter for your chance to win, click here and fill out the widget at the bottom of the page. Good luck!

The latest offering from the estate of Jimi Hendrix,
‘Miami Pop Festival,’ is set to come out Nov. 5 on CD and a
limited-edition two-LP set. Legacy Recordings have revealed its cover
artwork (left) and the track listing (see below).
The CD features Hendrix’s headlining
set at the two-day festival, which took place at the Gulfstream Park
racetrack in Hallandale, Fla., on May 18, 1968, and has never been
released in any capacity. In addition to the usual Hendrix live staples
like ‘Hey Joe’ and ‘Red House,’ the album includes the first recorded
stage performances of ‘Hear My Train A Comin” and ‘Tax Free.’ There are
also bonus performances of ‘Fire’ and “Foxey Lady’ recorded at his
afternoon slot.
‘Miami Pop Festival’ is being released to coincide with the documentary ‘Jimi Hendrix: Hear My Train A Comin,”
which will be shown on PBS’ ‘American Masters’ series, also on Nov.
5, and will be available for sale on DVD/Blu-ray that same day. The
documentary promises to be — in the words of Hendrix’s half-sister
Janie, who runs Experience Hendrix LLC — “an in-depth look at the life
and legacy of Jimi with his own words as well as the words and memories
of those that knew him well and were close to him.”
The DVD will contain the entire film and a host of previously
unreleased footage not featured on the telecast, including Miami Pop,
the 1970 New York Pop Festival and the Love & Peace Festival at the
Isle Of Fehmarn in Germany on Sept. 6, 1970, less than two weeks before
Hendrix’s death.
