HENDRIX JIMI EXPERIENCE - VINYL FREEDOM: ATLANTA POP FESTIVAL [VINYL]

Popis - FREEDOM: ATLANTA POP FESTIVAL [VINYL]:
Jimi's performance at the Second Atlanta International Pop Festival on July 4th, 1970 was not only significant on a musical level, but also in terms of socio-political dynamics. The organizers were keen to push back against the cultural divide that was very much in evidence in the Deep South. It was assumed that rural audiences would not take kindly to "long-hair" bands, and that black and white artists could not comfortably exist on the same bill. Atlanta Pop set out to challenge those beliefs. Hendrix's music and message of universal love made him the ideal artist to represent that pushback, and, appropriately, was the first act booked for the festival.
