Commemorating the 44th Anniversary of the JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE live concert from May 3rd, 1969 in Toronto, ON, official audio recordings of some of the cuts have been uploaded on the Official Jimi Hendrix YouTube Channel. A description of the show can be read below:

The Experience flew from Detroit, Michigan to Toronto, Canada on the morning of May 3, 1969, arriving at Pearson International Airport shortly after 9:30 a.m.. While passing through Canada Customs, one of the bags Hendrix offers to be searched contains what is believed to be an illicit substance. Hendrix is arrested and taken to police headquarters in downtown Toronto, where he is booked and later released on a $10,000 cash bail and required to make an appearance in court on May 5th. After his release, The Experience book into Four Seasons hotel and head directly to Maple Leaf Gardens to prepare for the evening performance. (The case eventually heads to trial with Hendrix being cleared of the charges following a "not guilty" verdict in the December proceedings.)

Despite the events that transpired earlier that day, The Experience put on a spirited performance. "We want you to forget about today, about yesterday, and about tomorrow," explains Hendrix as he takes to the stage. "Tonight we're gonna create a whole new world," before launching into an incendiary version of the staple 'Fire'.

The roughly 70-minute performance is highlighted by a superb performance of ‘Spanish Castle Magic’ complete with touches of both ‘Third Stone From The Sun’ and ‘Little Miss Lover’ interwoven within the song's extended instrumental breaks. Hendrix also performed a rare, fascinating earlier live version of ‘Room Full Of Mirrors’.

Check out ‘Fire’, ‘Hear My Train A Comin’’, ‘Spanish Castle Magic’, and ‘Red House’ below:
