New Release from Jimi Hendrix "Freedom: Atlanta Pop Festival" on Sony Music Australia

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.
