The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Live at LA Forum 1969 – A Show of Shaman Power | Music | Entertainment
This raw performance starts with a quick hello from Jimi in his familiar drawl, while he tunes his guitar. It is amazing to think that this is the start of such a seminal show. Eddie Kramer, Jimi’s long term producer and sound engineer, shared that this was usual for him, with a spartan crew of just 3 tech guys, he would just stroll up and tune his guitar and play in his own effortless way.
The album features all of Jimi’s classics – Purple Haze, Voodoo Child, Foxy Lady – and is mixed with less known tracks such as Tax Free, a cover from Swedish duo Hansson & Karlsson.
A particular highlight is Jimi’s take on the Star Spangled Banner, which became iconic at his Woodstock set a few months later. This remastered sound takes you directly into the crowd, the technology bringing you closer to his soaring solos immersing you in the listening experience of the concert exactly as it was performed.
This would have been Jimi’s 80th birthday, and as his sister Janie says he will always be 27. His shy and soft spoken nature with a wicked sense of humour was shown in his home life, where: “He had all these little funny snarky things to say, nothing harmful, and then I would start laughing. And then the whole family would be like, What did he say, what he said? He’d look at me and just kind of shake his head. Like, that’s our secret. Don’t tell anyone.”
Eddie Kramer described the first time he heard Jimi play “He hit a chord and my life changed in a nanosecond because that sound just went right through me. My hair stood up like, you know, I could have had an afro for all I could remember but it was fabulous and earth shattering. That one chord and I knew right there okay, I’ve gotta up my game to keep up with this guy,” adding how the dynamic levels of the chords go from “a whisper to a roar”.
Listening to the album gives a similar feeling, with Eddie describing the exhilarating nature of his sound, warning listeners to “Hold onto your hats and your underwear!”. This album is the Jimi Hendrix experience, epitomising his genius.

Their die-hard fans may have just seen the Dave Vanian-fronted band perform at London’s Wembley Arena earlier this year, but later this year, they’re swapping to massive theatre and concert halls.
The Damned will be playing seven enormous shows around the country beginning on November 25, 2026.

Speaking out about this upcoming tour, two of the band have expressed great excitement about their return to stages.

But here we are, a finely tuned engine. The Damned still has the power and finesse to excite, entertain and accelerate into our 50th year.”
Captain Sensible added: “With 50 years of catalogue to choose from, only the best songs from our chequered history will be performed, and with the passion and commitment all good music lovers deserve. You know we won’t disappoint.”

Andrea Bocelli sings Nessun Dorma in goosebump-inducing new video | Music | Entertainment

Andrea Bocelli has been performing for over 30 years and shows no sign of stopping. The 67-year-old Italian tenor recently had a concert in Mexico City’s main square, Zócalo, where he concluded as always with a sensational rendition of Nessun Dorma, which you can view below.
Nessun dorma!, which means “Let no one sleep” is an aria from the final act of Giacomo Puccini’s opera Turandot. The song is performed by the unknown prince character Calaf who falls in love at first sight with the Princess Turandot. To marry Turandot, Calaf must answer her three riddles correctly, but if he fails he will be beheaded. Nessun dorma! is the prince’s assertion that he will indeed triumph and wed the princess.
On the honour of performing in Mexico City, Bocelli shared on Instagram: “Singing in front of hundreds of thousands of people, in a square so rich in history and meaning for Mexico, was for me a rare and deeply moving privilege. A collective breath capable of transforming music into a true universal language. I would like to express my most heartfelt gratitude to the organisers, the institutions of Mexico City, @televisa_espectaculos, @bancoplata, @wme, @aegpresents, as well as to all the teams who contributed to making this memorable evening possible. To the Mexican audience and to the entire Latin community, with sincere affection: thank you for welcoming me, for your generosity, for your enthusiasm, and for the love you shared. A memory I will cherish forever.”
The Romanza – 30th Anniversary World Tour continues and tickets can be booked here.
