    Storyline

    Edit
    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). —Martin <martin.o_brien@which.net>

      Self - Interviewee: [Eric Clapton] Our manager, The Cream's manager, felt that if we went over to San Francisco too early we'd lose our market value. So, he held off and said, no-no, you must go later on and then be a Big Bang, you know, at the Fillmore. And it worked out all right in the end; but, I was really upset about it; because, we'd been asked to go and I wanted to go. I felt that they must have thought we were being big headed. But, I'd loved to have seen him play there. He did that sacrifice thing for the audience with his guitar. I've seen it so many times on film.

    Real Talent
    When I worked backstage at the Fillmore East almost half a century ago, I thought a lot of the musicians were jerks. Oh, Virgil Fox would show up with his ministry occasionally -- "Johann Sebastian Bach loves you and you should love him or you will be be eternally damned" -- but I witnessed far too much of Jim Morrison to accept any of the idiotic sungod movie.

    Jimi Hendrix was another matter. A man of such ability that..... I don't know. Everyone was young, everyone thought we were immortal and were going to be A-bombed anyway. All I know is I wish I knew what became of that reel-to-reel my brother made of that set, must be almost fifty years ago.
