FREEDOM: JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE ATLANTA POP FESTIVAL includes six
performances not seen in the documentary and is set for release August
28th 2015. This will be available as a 2CD set and also as a 180-gram
2LP vinyl set.
In the sweltering Georgia heat, amongst
intimidating bikers who were hired as security, hundreds of thousands of
mostly young music fans descended upon the festival grounds, eventually
knocking over fences and leaving the organizers with no choice but to
declare it a free event. Law enforcement, not equipped to handle such
crowds, adopted a hands-off policy with regards to crowd control, drug
use and nudity. Against incredible odds, the event proved to be largely
peaceful.
By the time the Jimi Hendrix Experience took the stage on the evening of July 4, the audience swelled to more than 300,000.
