User Reviews

OK

I saw this movie when it came out, and was a bit disappointed at the time. I was in the movie as an extra and was paid free lunches during shooting and a free Hendrix concert on the side of Haliakala (sp?) volcano. The concert alone was worth the standing around and waiting to "act" in scenes. It was a great concert, I remember Foxy Lady and Purple Haze as highlights. The concert seemed to last most of the afternoon, he played lots of songs. One sort of silly thing (in hindsight) they had us do was sit grouped according to our astrological sign. I think they had 12 speakers, one focused on each group so Jimi could direct where the sound was focused while he played. I won't go into the theories behind this, it didn't seem to work out.

I don't think Hendrix showed up for the film till the day of or slightly before the concert. Most of the filming was done by then as I recall. Jimi Hendrix gave a great performance that day.
