Live Isle of Wight '70 is a posthumous live album by Jimi Hendrix released in 1991. The album captures a selection of 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 complete performance appeared on the 2002 release Blue Wild Angel: Live at the Isle of Wight.
The set list for the concert contained songs from the original Experience albums, as well as new songs written around the time of the performance. 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.
All songs were written by Jimi Hendrix, except where noted.
