In Concert on Volt Radio: A Psychedelic Journey from Maui to Venice

Two Legendary Concerts. One Unforgettable Night.

This week, In Concert on Volt Radio invites listeners on a remarkable journey through two of the most celebrated live performances in rock history. From the volcanic landscapes of Hawaii to the floating city of Venice, the music of Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd takes center stage in a special broadcast dedicated to the spirit of psychedelic and progressive rock.

Jimi Hendrix Experience – Live in Maui (1970)

The evening begins with one of the most fascinating performances of Jimi Hendrix's career. Recorded on the slopes of Haleakalā volcano in Maui, Hawaii, in July 1970, the concert captures Hendrix and The Jimi Hendrix Experience at a pivotal moment in rock history.

Surrounded by breathtaking natural scenery, Hendrix delivers powerful renditions of classics including Purple Haze, Voodoo Child (Slight Return), and Foxey Lady. The performance showcases his unparalleled guitar artistry, blending blues, rock, improvisation, and psychedelic exploration into a musical experience that remains timeless more than five decades later.

The Maui performance has become legendary among Hendrix fans, offering a unique glimpse into the creative genius of one of rock music's most influential artists.

Pink Floyd – Live in Venice (1989)

Following Hendrix's volcanic spectacle, listeners will travel to Venice, Italy, for one of the most ambitious concert events ever staged.

In 1989, Pink Floyd performed a historic free concert on a floating stage in the Venetian lagoon. Broadcast worldwide, the event transformed the city's iconic skyline into a breathtaking backdrop for the band's immersive sound and visual presentation.

Featuring unforgettable performances of Comfortably Numb, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Learning to Fly, and Run Like Hell, the Venice concert showcased Pink Floyd's mastery of atmosphere, technology, and musical storytelling.

With lasers illuminating the night sky and the reflections of the city dancing across the water, the performance remains one of the most memorable live events in rock history.

A Night of Psychedelic and Progressive Excellence

Together, these two concerts represent the evolution of rock music across two decades. Hendrix's raw, groundbreaking experimentation laid the foundation for generations of artists, while Pink Floyd expanded the possibilities of live performance into a multimedia experience unlike anything seen before.
