Customer Reviews

informative and inexpensive
I have watched this,and I really enjoyed it.
No music in it but it is good to hear Jimi talking and giving his views out.
Although he is a man of not too many words,he shines through because of his friends describing his life story.
Take no notice of this not being endorsed by the Hendrix foundation.
They seemed to have creamed off most of his creations.
But this stands out and would appeal to many Hendrix fans.
We all have his recordings and know how special he was and still is.
It is also a 3 disc set which is amazing,about 3 hours.
If you shop around you will find it inexpensive to buy.
I would recommend it no problems

Surprisingly Interesting
I was expecting this to be rubbish. But it was cheap. So I bought it.

It's uncritical and not a great place to start if you don't know much about Jimi Hendrix, (or aren't really that interested) but it's full of interviews from a lot of people who were around at the time (his childhood, older, being famous). This + Charles Cross Biography + the 2 Disc Jimi Hendrix - a life story + Classic Rock Albums - Electric Ladyland
and you've covered a lot of territory.

A much much better spend than "Jimi Hendrix - Videobiography"
