I have passed by Electric Lady for as long as I can remember. It was much later I learned that this historic place was the brainchild of guitarist extraordinaire Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970) and his manager Michael Jeffrey. Jimi's vision was to have musicians from all over the world record and play there. Sadly, Jimi Hendrix never lived to see this happen.
Some great musicians have passed through Electric Lady: Jeff Beck, U2, AC/DC, Bob Dylan, The Clash, and Hall& Oates. Jimi recorded at Electric Lady for about 4 weeks. The studio opened on August 26th, 1970.Three weeks later, Hendrix was dead. He left a state-of-the art studio which still produces some of the greatest music in the world.
