Hendrix For Everyone
The Complete Four-Hour KPFA Radio Special

BigO:

KPFA Radio in California had in the past broadcast a four-hour radio special on Jimi Hendrix.

With the passing of Mitch Mitchell (November 12, 2008), which marks the end of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, this becomes an important show to remember Hendrix and the group and a learning experience for new listeners. Apart from the band's music, the show also features lots of interviews with Hendrix. Listeners will also learn how certain songs have influenced Hendrix (for example, Hey Joe) and in turn how his songs have influenced others. The show also features some "experimental" music/jam that Hendrix played with John McLaughlin.

The shows are as follows:
Vol 1: Birth Of The Experience
Vol 2: The Height Of Success
Vol 3: The Blues
Vol 4: Epilogue

The first link lists all 75 tracks, but only the first 20 tunes are live links; subsequent sets were released over the last three days in the next "volumes."
