Movie Reviews of Jimi Hendrix
Movie Review: Exceptional collection
Summary: 5 Stars
This is how a bio should be done! It's a nice treat to have a lineup including Little Richard, Eric Clapton, Pete Townsend, Mitch Mitchell, Billy Cox, and Mick Jagger provide first-hand recollections of times spent with Jimi. It's supplemented with generous screen time for his dad and 3 or 4 former girlfriends, which is entertaining. To top it off, there is incredible, well-produced footage of Jimi in concert and in the studio, and the live appearances span his career. You can actually see him morph from a wide-eyed young prodigy into an exhausted curiosity. You can even hear it in the short interview segments that feature Jimi himself.
This ran as a Friday night midnight movie for about 50 weeks in a popular New Orleans theatre in the early 1970's and became one of the hottest tickets in New Orleans (where brilliant musicians are truly appreciated) during its run. I saw it at least a half dozen times then, and it is still as riveting today. If you get it, you won't be disappointed, and it is the perfect introduction to anyone who is not familiar with the story of Jimi Hendrix.
Summary of Jimi Hendrix
Offstage he was withdrawn, almost shy. Onstage he strapped on his kiss-the-sky Stratocaster and shattered all notions of how a guitar could be played. In this tribute authorized by his estate, jimi hendrix comes to vivid life in funny and touching recollections by family, friends and other legends of rock like Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Peter Townsend and Little Richard. Best of all are electrifying performances from the Monterey, Woodstock and the Isle of Wright Festivals, London's Marquee Club and the Fillmore East. From a blazing Purple Haze to a driving Machine Gun to a flamboyant Wild Thing to a soulful Hear My Train A'Comin, Jimi Hendrix pulls out all the stops.Similar DVD Movies
