Hendrix's classic 1967 Monterey Pop Festival performance will be released for the first time on DVD, CD and vinyl on Oct. 16 through Universal. It will feature acclaimed documentarian D.A. Pennebaker's footage of The Jimi Hendrix Experience's first U.S. performance.The high-definition DVD comes with 5.1 surround sound and also includes Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones' introduction, unreleased interviews with Hendrix and sidemen Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding, previously unseen 1967 performances in England, a documentary about the Monterey Pop Festival and liner notes co-written by Mitchell.

The CD and vinyl versions of the performance feature "Can You See Me," which doesn't appear on the DVD.

Oct. 16 is also the kick-off date for the Experience Hendrix Tour, which will hit five northeastern U.S. cities. It will feature Buddy Guy, Robert Randolph, Jonny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Robby Krieger, Mick Taylor, Hubert Sumlin and other guitarists.

Jimi Hendrix: An Illustrated Experience, a book featuring never-before-seen photos, drawings by Hendrix as a boy and handwritten lyric sheets will be published by Simon And Schuster/Atria this fall.
