Jimi Hendrix, ‘Fire’ – Song Premiere
Ultimate Classic Rock is pleased to present the premiere of Jimi Hendrix's 'Fire,‘ from the upcoming live CD 'Miami Pop Festival.'
The album, which will be released on Nov. 5, features Hendrix’s headlining gig at the two-day festival from the Gulfstream Park racetrack in Hallandale, Fla., on May 18, 1968. The album includes classic songs like 'Hey Joe,' 'Foxey Lady' and 'Purple Haze.' The nine-song set includes two bonus performances. This is the first time any songs from the fest have been released.
The live version of 'Fire' is indeed a pretty flammable performance of the cut. Hendrix and the Experience tear through their song with a ferocity that mirrored their pure power at the time.
Ultimate Classic Rock is giving away a Jimi Hendrix prize pack, including a copy of the upcoming ‘Miami Pop Festival,’ a box set and a T-shirt. To enter for your chance to win, click here and fill out the widget at the bottom of the page. Good luck!
