JIMI HENDRIX 40th Anniversary All-Star Tribute Event In London Announced

October 11, 2007

A major theatrical simulcast celebrating the 40th anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's legendary performance at the Monterey Pop Festival will be screened at 7:45pm on Thursday, October 25 at the Hippodrome in London's Leicester Square. This exclusive, historic, and one-time only theatrical music film event and tribute concert to one of rock’n’roll’s greatest electric guitarists, will receive a simultaneous pan-European HD broadcast (in 5.1 Surround Sound) to over 180 cinema screens, including selected VUE cinemas around the UK.

The screening will be followed by an hour-long live concert performed by an all-star band featuring guitarist Gary Moore, and surviving JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE members, Mitch Mitchell (drums) and Billy Cox (the bassist who also played in Hendrix's BAND OF GYPSYS),plus Darrin Mooney (drums) of PRIMAL SCREAM and Dave Bronze (guitar).

The screening and live concert event coincides with "Jimi Hendrix Live at Monterey: The Definitive Edition" released on DVD, HD DVD & CD on October 29 (the latter includes the brand new Hendrix documentary film "American Landing"). Hendrix's original recording engineer, Eddie Kramer, will mix the simulcast in 5.1 Surround Sound.
