Dagger Records has announced the forthcoming release of ‘The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Live At Woburn’.The CD features a previously unheard concert performance by The Jimi Hendrix Experience at the Woburn Music Festival on July 6 1968.

The Woburn Music Festival was one of Britain’s first large scale, open-air rock music events. The two-day event featured afternoon and evening sets on Saturday July 6 and Sunday July 7.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience closed the Saturday evening show in front of a crowd of 14,000.

The band skipped songs from Axis: Bold As Love altogether, kicking off the set with ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’, the start of which was unfortunately missed by the recording machine. This was followed by ‘Fire’, during which technical problems that would continue throughout the show were evident.

The complete tracklist is:

• Introduction (1:07)
• Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1:11)
• Fire (4:19)
• Tax Free (10:11)
• Red House (11:30)
• Foxey Lady (4:55)
• Voodoo Child (Slight Return) (6:38)
• Purple Haze (8:10)

The performance at Woburn Music Festival would mark the trio’s last performance in England until the two celebrated concerts in February 1969 at the Royal Albert Hall.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Live At Woburn’ is due for release on July 28 2009, but pre-orders are being accepted now.
