"Live at the Isle of Fehmarn" is a posthumous live album by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, released on December 13, 2005 by Dagger Records. The album documents the band's performance at the Open Air Love & Peace Festival in Fehmarn, Germany on September 6, 1970; Jimi Hendrix's final concert performance.

The concert

The Experience were originally scheduled to play on September 5, but heavy rain delayed their appearance to the next day. By the time the band took the stage, audience tensions were guarded after a series of fights, the festival Box Office being held at gunpoint, and The Experience's own road manager, Gerry Stickells, being attacked. Despite these problems, Jimi took the band through various numbers from throughout his career. Amateur recordings were made and passed off as bootlegs over the years, and after a new source of audio from the festival's promoters surfaced, the album was mixed and produced.
