Movie Reviews of Jimi Plays Berkeley
Movie Review: I would like a uncut version on Blu - Ray
Summary: 3 Stars
Hear my train comin. I listen to this a million times so when he started
playing this I was so excited to watch it be performed. Well the first solo
is cut down but second solo was completely cut out I had to turn it off
Movie Review: good not great.
Summary: 3 Stars
i ran away from home to see this film when it came out.i enjoyed it but,be prepared for a Jimi Hendrix short subject as it were.Movie Review: Butchered
Summary: 2 Stars
This DVD is not complete,several of the tracks have been grossly butchered.I don't remember the original movie beingthis hacked up,whether the missing pieces were poor quality
or not I think most of Us would prefer having poor quality
video segments rather than none at all.Also in the original movie there is a scene in the limo where Jimi takes a drag off of a joint ,that has been cut out,is this an attempt to manipulate Jimi's posthumous image?If so I think it sucks!
The original movie presented things as they were and should
have been left as such in its transfer to DVD.
Movie Review: Get ready for the worst camera man EVER.!
Summary: 2 Stars
The music is great, but whoever filmed this was obviously high on crack or something. Shaky camera, zooming in way to close on Jimi's face.
I found myself getting very frustrated when Jimi was playing one of his cool riffs an the friggin camera man was zoomed in on amplifiers and other equipment, or was 3 inches from Jimi's face.
If the cameraman would of just zoomed out a little and just left it the heck alone, it would of been a great DVD. Instead it's just a frustrating DVD to watch.
Movie Review: Very Dissapointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I consider myself a pretty big Hendrix fan and can say this DVD was a huge let-down for me. I basically bought it just for the "Hear My Train A Comin'", this Berkeley performance is by far my favorite version of the song. I couldn't beleive they edited(very poorly I might add) this twelve minute blues masterpeice down to about two and a half minutes. Not to mention just about every other song is butcherd as well, "Lover Man" clocks in at around thirty seconds. I hope whoever edited this got fired. Im glad the Hendrix family is finding ways to rip us off and rake in the cash for themselves. Can you say ARE YOU EXPLOITED?
