Jimi Hendrix

On May 10, 1969, Jimi Hendrix took the stage at the iconic Fillmore East in New York, delivering a legendary performance of 'Red House.' This was right around the time he was experimenting with a more blues-oriented sound, which can be heard in his earlier album, 'Axis: Bold as Love' released in 1967. The slide guitar work in 'Red House' showcases his incredible skill, taking listeners on a mesmerizing journey through emotion. Interestingly, this live recording captures Hendrix at a transitional point, as he was beginning to embrace deeper blues influences while still pushing the boundaries of rock music. The Fillmore was a pivotal venue for Hendrix, where he cultivated his craft and connected with his audience, making moments like this one unforgettable.
