The Jimi Hendrix Experience recorded a legendary session at Studio 4, Radiohuset (Swedish Radio House) in Stockholm, Sweden on September 5, 1967 (not May 9, 1967—several sources confirm the correct date for this famous radio/TV session). This was during their Second European Tour, just months after the release of Are You Experienced, and it stands as one of the cleanest, most celebrated early live-in-studio captures of the classic lineup: Jimi Hendrix on guitar and vocals, Noel Redding on bass and backing vocals, and Mitch Mitchell on drums.
The session was for Swedish radio/TV (broadcast on programs like "Tonarskvall" and later syndicated), performed in a small studio setting with a live audience feel—intimate yet explosive, showcasing the band's raw psychedelic energy at its peak. Fans and collectors consistently call this one of the best-preserved documents of early Hendrix, full of that fiery, improvisational magic before the Experience's sound got even bigger.

Jimi Hendrix was a once in a generation force who reshaped what the electric guitar could be, rising from his Seattle beginnings and early years on the chitlin’ circuit to become one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. After sharpening his craft with the Isley Brothers, Little Richard, and Curtis Knight, he moved to England in 1966 and—within months—exploded onto the scene with the Jimi Hendrix Experience, scoring UK hits like Hey Joe, Purple Haze, and The Wind Cries Mary while redefining rock guitar through sheer imagination. His breakthrough at Monterey Pop, the chart topping success of Electric Ladyland, and his iconic appearances at Woodstock and the Isle of Wight cemented him as a creative giant whose four year mainstream career left an impact still felt today. Drawing from blues, soul, and rock, Hendrix pioneered the expressive use of feedback, distortion, and effects like fuzz, wah wah, and the Uni Vibe, turning sound itself into a personal language—an approach that continues to inspire generations of players who see him as the ultimate example of freedom, innovation, and musical vision.
