Just Ask the Axis

Welcome to Just Ask the Axis, a searchable database of Jimi Hendrix gigs, interviews and jams that are known to have taken place, along with details of known set lists and audio recordings.

Thanks go to Jon Price who provided the initial set-list & recording details, Saville & Maple Leaf reviews, and interview transcripts.

Thanks also to the late, great Chris Dixon for providing copies of his " 30th Anniversary Series" reviews, and Mark Jepson for transcribing the words in " ..And now for our next song" .
