Jimi Hendrix - Isle of Wight

Isle of Wight was a posthumous live album by Jimi Hendrix, released in November 1971. The album documents Hendrix’s performance at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival on August 30, 1970, his last performance in England before his death in September.

The album was engineered by Carlos Ohlms (a British based engineer). The record company did not use a picture from the Isle of Wight concert. The cover photo is from a live concert from Berlin, Deutschlandhalle, September 4, 1970. The album spent only two weeks in the U.K. albums chart, peaking at No. 17.

Isle of Wight contains just part of the concert. The entire performance was released on the 2002 album Blue Wild Angel: Live at the Isle of Wight.

This box set was released in Germany to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the death of Jimi Hendrix. It contains the European versions of “Are You Experienced”, “Axis: Bold As Love”, “Electric Ladyland”, “Band Of Gypsys”, “Isle Of Wight”, “The Cry Of Love”, “In The West”, “War Heroes”, “Loose Ends”, “Midnight Lightning”, & “Crash Landing” plus a 12″ single of “Gloria” b/w “Hey Joe”.
