In New Video Original Members of Chicago Recall Hendrix Inviting Them To Be An Opening Act On His 1969 US Tour Before Their First Album Was Even Released <\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
October 26<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cPurple Haze,\u201d an advance track from the forthcoming live album Jimi Hendrix Experience<\/strong> Los Angeles Forum: April 26, 1969 <\/strong><\/em>is out today. Experience Hendrix, L.L.C. in partnership with Legacy Recordings, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, is releasing the set on November 18 on 2LP vinyl, CD and all digital platforms. This comes in anticipation of the late music icon\u2019s 80th<\/sup>birthday on November 27. <\/td><\/tr>

The main support act at the Forum that night was Chicago Transit Authority, who soon thereafter shortened their name to Chicago. In a brand new short film, three original members (trombonist James Pankow, trumpeter Lee Loughnane, keyboardist\/vocalist Robert Lamm) recall being in awe of Jimi Hendrix as a musician and his graciousness as a person, and explain how his personal invitation to open for him on such a large stage was a turning point in their career. Pankow remembers meeting Jimi Hendrix at the Whisky a Go Go: \u201cHe looks at us and he goes, \u2018You guys have a horn section that sounds like one set of lungs, and a guitar player that\u2019s better than me. You want to go on the road?\u2019 Hell yeah<\/em>! . . . our jaws were hanging open.\u201d \u201cThe way that they [the Jimi Hendrix Experience] were approaching their music was very jazz-like,\u201d says Lamm. \u201cJimi\u2019s songs, the way that he addressed them, the way he sang them, the nature of the solos and how the sections kind of bled into each other . . . we had never seen anything like this and we were grateful to be there.\u201d Pankow says of witnessing the live performance: \u201cNobody had the ferocity and the daring that Jimi and his trio had . . . I\u2019m not so sure that the audience necessarily understood the musicality, but they felt the power. It was overwhelming. It was undeniable. If you were living and breathing, you were overwhelmed, period . . . And to be invited?<\/em> To be a part of that? My mouth to God\u2019s ears\u2013 it was the coolest, most important invitation that we have yet received.\u201d <\/td><\/tr>

Also present at the Forum concert was ZZ Top singer\/guitarist Billy F Gibbons, whose band Moving Sidewalks had earlier opened for The Jimi Hendrix Experience in multiple cities during 1968. \u201cAfter the performance, Jimi came by and said, \u2018Hey man, how did we do?\u2019\u201d Gibbons states in the liner notes of the Los Angeles Forum<\/em> album. \u201cHow do you respond to that since there\u2019s no basis for comparison as it was such a singular performance? All I could manage was, \u2018I\u2019m floored, I\u2019m fixed\u2019 and left it at that. Still am.\u201dToday also marks Jimi Hendrix\u2019s debut on the streaming service YouTube Music. This comes in the wake of the Jimi Hendrix YouTube channel (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/jimihendrix<\/a>) surpassing one million subscribers. The entire Jimi Hendrix audio catalog can now be accessed on YouTube Music. Also being released during the month of Jimi Hendrix\u2019s 80th<\/sup> birthday is the book JIMI<\/strong><\/em>. Published by Chronicle Chroma and out November 8, JIMI<\/strong><\/em> is a visually stunning and specially curated deluxe 320-page hardcover book authored by Janie Hendrix and John McDermott. Childhood stories, rarely seen photos and candid images, dedications and inspirational anecdotes will give fans an inside look at the music legend\u2019s groundbreaking artistry. <\/td><\/tr>
