Experience Hendrix Tour takes part of its inspiration from JIMI HENDRIX' desire to bring together ensemble casts of musicians with a wide variety of backgrounds, in what he dubbed The Electric Church. This concept is perhaps best exemplified when Hendrix gathered at Woodstock. In recent years, Experience Hendrix Tour has brought together a number of different artists, both young and old, to celebrate the music of Jimi Hendrix.

In the fifth instalment of the new Jimi Hendrix Webisode Series, LIVING COLOUR's lead singer, Corey Glover talks about how his involvement with the Experience Hendrix Tour is like being at the 'foot of history' and how the influences of Jimi Hendrix, BUDDY GUY, HUBERT SUMLIN and others makes this event so special.

Living Colour have revealed the setlist from their September 3rd date at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia, PA. Video footage from the gig can be viewed below.

The setlist: 'Middle Man', 'Type', 'Burned Bridges', 'The Chair', 'Memories Can't Wait', 'Behind The Sun' 'Bi', 'Elvis Is Dead', 'Bless Those (Little Annie's Prayer)', 'WTFF' (drum solo), 'Glamour Boys', 'Young Man', 'DecaDance', 'Out Of My Mind', 'Time's Up', 'Cult Of Personality', 'Funny Vibe' (with PHAROAHE MONCH).

As previously reported, Living Colour are currently streaming two new songs ('Decadance' and 'Out Of My Mind') on their official MySpace page.

The tracks are from the band's new album, The Chair In The Doorway, which is set for release September 15th on Megaforce Records. The album was recorded at Sono Studios just outside of Prague in the Czech Republic. Renowned producer Count (GALACTLIC, LYRICS BORN, NO DOUBT) was onboard to helm the sessions, while Ron St. Germain (U2, MOS DEF, MUSE) mixed the album.

According to a press release, the 11-track collection is Living Colour's most personal collection of songs yet with razor sharp lyrical observations and kinetic jams that seamlessly weave elements of metal, funk and soul. Vernon Reid described the album as, "an unintentional concept record about life and how we are all in this thing together."
