Actually, his secretary. I pre-ordered the "Isle of Fenharm" CD from the Hendrix Family and they called to make sure they had the correct shipping.
It's set for release December 13.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Live At The Isle Of Fehmarn marks the eighth release in Dagger Records?? popular bootleg-style recording series. This historically significant album features The Jimi Hendrix Experience??s final live performance on September 6, 1970 during the Love & Peace Festival held on the Isle Of Fehmarn in Germany.
Originally slated to perform on September 5th, The Experience??s appearance at the festival was delayed by frequent rain storms that plagued the previous days shows. Having just completed a series of six concerts in six days including headlining shows at both the Isle Of Wight (August 30) and Berlin (September 4), the extra day of rest would serve the group well.
By the time The Experience took to the stage on September 6, audience tensions were guarded following a series of fights between German bikers, that had escalated in ferocity, and included the festival Box Office being robbed at gun point and Jimi Hendrix??s own road manager, Gerry Stickells being attacked. Depsite these problems, The Experience delivered an enthusiastic hour-plus performance which saw Jimi lead the trio through a series of songs encompassing all of the different periods of the group??s existence.
Jimi's Isle Of Fehmarn performance has been widely bootlegged over the last 35 years yet it was never professionally recorded. Amateur recordings made from the audience by fans have served as the only known documentation of this historic concert until now. As the eighth entry in this popular 'bootleg' series, Dagger presents a newly discovered recording made by the festival's promoters. Unbeknownst to Hendrix, the promoters captured the group's entire performance by feeding two overhead stage microphones into a consumer grade Revox reel-to-reel tape machine located off to the side of the stage. The resulting document, rough hewn and unmixed, is clear and not unlike the amateur audience recording featured on the initial Dagger offering Live At The Oakland Coliseum.
In addition to ??Killing Floor,? Live At The Isle Of Fehmarn also features ??Spanish Castle Magic,? ??All Along The Watchtower,? ??Hey Joe,? ??Message To Love,? ??Hey Baby (New Rising Sun),? ??Foxey Lady,? ??Red House,? ??Ezy Ryder,? ??Freedom,? ??Room Full Of Mirrors,? ??Purple Haze,? and a particularly memorable rendition of ??Voodoo Child (Slight Return).?

Thanks, Mr. D, I didn't read it until I posted it. I have a bootleg rendition and I can't wait to hear it directly from the mics. I posted a thread about this concert before. There's an amazing guitar bridge in Freedom.

You know, I know what you're implying. Jimi Hendrix was more into Herb than Acid, but Arthur & Albert Allen (renamed to show their roots, like Muhammed Ali was, I forgot what it was called) said people would be trippin' off one hit and Jimi would just sit there and pop one, look around, then pop another, they said it was unreal, but I think I know where he's coming from because I didn't trip off of sugar cubes and straight drops after a Brain Injury. That's another story.
You should get to know Jimi Hendrix, he wasn't the "druggie" that people call him.

A passage from "A Star In Life: Jimi Hendrix, Legend for Eternity"
In January 1968, Jimi smashed up Mitch's room at the Phalen Hotel in Sweden. Overturned chairs, curtains torn, blood everywhere; the only thing still working was the telephone. This whole incident was caused by Jimi drinking too much and he was charged with criminal damage. It was ironic that his consumption of LSD and cannabis never affected him as much as alcohol, which could send him off his head and bring out the worst in him.

thus explaining why alcohol is the worst drug.
If you can overdose on something that seems to drown out your problems the more you drink, it should be illegal for the masses.

Noel Redding was totally absent when Jimi's vision of Music became clear, and it was during that time that Buddy Miles was about to step in. Mitch Mitchell rejoined Jimi in 1970 when all he could do to get away from the pressures of flying around the country, night after night (Michael Jeffrey purposely arranged cross-country, back to back gigs) was LSD. He got his act together, Billy Cox did acid for the first time and wound up pretty sick so Jimi sent him back to the U.S.
Do you have proof of him doing other drugs?
Hey, I'm gonna look at this and get back to you.

He did speed.

well, according to a documentary i saw on showtime, he also did heroin. which was his cause of death. noel redding and mitch would always know how much drugs to do, by watching how much jimi did. they'd always do less...much less.

Well, Mitch had to hear it from roadie Eric Barrett that Jimi had died.
News the day after he died: "OVERDOSE" "JIMI HENDRIX IN LONDON OVERLEDEN".
He didn't die from Heroin, they found liquor in his lungs.
Noel Redding was in New York when he died.
What else did they say of his death? Did they say that his girlfriend was at the apartment when the ambulance got there? And that she rode with Jimi in the ambulance?

Mitch Mitchell said in 1989, "If Hendrix had taken all the drugs the papers and rock books say he took, he'd never have lived as long as he did. Jimi was the kind of person who'd push things to the nth degree, but I never saw suicidal tendencies there. He's painted as this tragic figure, but he wasn't. He died tragically, but that's not the same thing."
Billy Cox, who knew him from his Army days, said it best, earlier that year...
"There are those who come before the public eye and are commercialized into the consciousness of the masses. We are told they are popular, and we echo, they are popular. Then there are a few who are so intuitively tuned into the universe that they are still influential even though they are beyond sight. This is immortality, and Jimi Hendrix is immortal. It is exciting to know that the world has yet to truly be exposed to Jimi's genius. Maybe the overshadowing rumors that are used by some to cloud his image will be replaced by an understanding of the man I knew - a child of the universe, a guitar master, a warm and gentle soul."

The ambulancemen, Reg Jones and John Suau, have given at least one statement which contradicts Monika Denneman's version of events.
In the light of recent investigations, there seems little doubt that Jimi was alive when the ambulance arrived simply because Jones and Suau took Jimi to the hospital. If he'd been dead, they would have left him for the police.
However, a 1992 statement by the London Ambulance Service maintains that
'there was no one else' at the flat when they arrived and that nobody travelled with them in the ambulance - claims that Monika vigorously refuted.
They tried to revive him at the hospital but they couldn't so they listed him as Dead On Arrival.
