This documentary was made three years after Jimi Hendrix's untimely death. At the time it was an example of how a visual biography should be done, but some of the information in it needs revising in the light of new information uncovered over the years. The film contains concert footage spanning the Marquee in 1967 to his last UK performance at the third Isle of Wight festival in 1970; along the way we see classic performances at Monterey (1967), Woodstock (1969), Fillmore East (1969/70), and Berkeley (1970). A double album was released to tie-in with the film, containing the complete performances in the film, along with interviews with people in the film (not necessarily the same interviews). The film is worth seeing for Jimi's performances, and to hear what his contemporaries have to say about him (Eric Clapton, Mitch Mitchell, Lou Reed, Mick Jagger, Pete Townsend, and others).

GOOD. A documentary about one of the guitar legends, Mr. Jimmy Hendrix. Anyone who is a fan can not miss watching. There are several testimonials and songs played at shows. Among the several documentaries already released about the guitarist, I highlight 1985 one for TV, called "Jimi Hendrix: Hear My Train a Comin", which is complementary to this one. Both are good. In the case of this one from 1973, I highlight the blues 'Hear My Train a Comin' that is played on acoustic guitar. I recommend.
