The new Experience Hendrix DVD brings together highlights of two star-studded concerts featuring an amazing line-up of musicians including Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Double Trouble, Pearl Jam's Mike McCready, former Rolling Stone Mick Taylor, Hubert Sumlin and Mitch Mitchell, amongst others.

14 of the performances were filmed in Jimi's old stomping ground of Seattle at the Paramount Theatre, while the bonus tracks come from San Diego's annual Street Scene.
