Customer Reviews

Best Hendrix DVD i've seen
This is a great DVD, capturing one of Hendrix's final performances.
It's a strange film, it looks like it was filmed in a tiny club - considering there were hundred's of thousands of people in the crowd!!
That said you do get a fantastic view of Hendrix in action and the performances of Red House and Machine Gun show his full command of the instrument, switching from rock and blues with ease.

Excellent stuff!

isle of might!!!
people in general have always said it wasnt the best documented
gig he has done. i bought the vhs reissue back in 1990. This new version gives it total justice,what you get is a full concert from backstage before, through to the end,murray learner had full access to the stage and the filming is pure class for the period
ok, for the first half of the gig jimi struggles to get into it, but his playing is pure virtuoso.. top stuff. and the film restoration is superb, complete with a build up documentary before. Interviews with mitch,billy cox and his road manager.
I recomend this purely as a musician and a fan if you are either get it...

Jimi is a God
I do not have a clue what everyone is talking about. This is by far the best hendrix performance available to purchase on DVD. There are some truly fantastic moments that should go down in history. The solo to "ezy rider" brought a tear to my eye and it is worth just buying this DVD to see Jimi finally open his eyes fully in the middle of "All along the watchtower." Jimi's great sense of humour is brought to life in this concert and his offhand remarks regarding the sheer amount of wars going on bring this piece of footage into the context of the late '60s/early 70s.

Granted, jimi suffers from some technical problems involving his guitar (it appears to be the pick-ups)but the fact that jimi is still playing when he trails around backstage establishes him once again as the pure genius he is.

The features are commendable with merchandise from the concert open for viewing among others. This is a must buy for any Hendrix fan, period.
