Live Isle of Wight '70 is a posthumous live album by Jimi Hendrix released in 1991. It contains some of the songs from Hendrix's last U.K. live performance at the Isle of Wight Festival on August 31, 1970, three weeks before his death.
The set list for the concert contained songs from the original Experience albums, as well as newer songs. The album includes an eight-minute version of "Voodoo Chile" and a 12-minute version of "Machine Gun" that includes walkie-talkie interference from security personnel feeding through the sound equipment.
The album is the second Hendrix release with some material from the festival (Isle of Wight was issued in 1971) and has been superseded by the 2002 album , which contains the complete performance.
All songs were written by Jimi Hendrix, except where noted.
