The 30-date Experience Hendrix US tour kicked off in Florida earlier this week.
The star-studded touring event, which began as a tribute show at The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2000, has now been transformed into a full-blown tour, which celebrates the music of the Greatest Guitarist Of All Time, Jimi Hendrix.
Mainstays Billy Cox, Jonny Lang and Eric Johnson are joined onstage by a host of musicians including Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine, Joe Satriani, Dweezil Zappa, Dug Pinnick, Chris Clayton, Mato Nanji, Ernie Isley, Kenny Aronoff, Slide Brothers, Henri Brown and Kevin McCormack.
Footage from the Clearwater show from Monday evening has emerged online as shows Mustaine perform a couple of Hendrix classics in the shape of Fire and Stone Free.
Check them both out below.
As the tour was announced, Mustaine said: “Jimi Hendrix. The name that comes to my mind as one the premiere American guitarists of all time.
“An Innovator and legendary musician, I am beyond honoured to do my part in this tribute to the immortal Jimi Hendrix and want to thank tour producer John McDermott for inviting me to play along such mind-blowing guitarists as Joe Satriani, and a personal favourite of mine, Eric Johnson. See you there!”
CEO of Experience Hendrix LLC Janie Hendrix said the tour was more than just a series of concerts and added: “It's a celebration of a man whose amazing gift changed the face of music and informed an entire culture.
“His influences were varied and diverse. And this year we’re shining a light on that diversity with artists who represent it across cultures and who also share a love for Jimi and his music. It’s exciting to be able to honour Jimi’s enduring legacy in this way.”
