Full Plot Details

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).

El Pais (Spain) - 6/10 by José Manuel Costa... a film that exceeds all previously made in this area (Woodstock, Monterrey, Gimme Shelter, etc.)... [Full review in Spanish]
User Review - 10/10 by Alasdair DAwesome movie about Jimi. Why wouldn't anyone want to see this? He's the greatest guitarist of all time!
User Review - 10/10 by Hulsey?Un excelente documental sobre Jimi Hendrix hecho a los pocos anos de su muerte. Eso le da un toque muy especial. Me ubiese gustado que incluyeran mas presentaciones pero las que hay son excelentes (no se como seran las demas ediciones pero al menos yo tengo la simple, no las ediciones especiales que se han hecho de este film). Quede con gusto a poco pero igual se lleva las 5 estrellas :)
User Review - 10/10 by Stella Dno solo porque jimi sea mi guitarrista favorito es que en realidad en bacana
User Review - 10/10 by mikey sThe mothership of rock documentaries. It is so awesome I had several small to middling music orgasms. I love it, and if you so much as look at you'll be picking glass out of your ass for a month. Word.
User Review - 10/10 by Jason AOutstanding 1973 documentary about the titular guitar legend, featuring lots of performances and an impressive array of interview subjects (including a hugely entertaining, possibly coked-up Little Richard).
User Review - 10/10 by Doug MA wonderful rockumentary about the king of all the guitar gods. It has a good selection of interviews with Jimi's friends and musical contemporaries, but the filmmakers knew what they were doing: they spend most of the time just letting the man play. And that's all you need for a great film. We get to see all the iconic psychedelic performances, including Hey Joe the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock (which is about ten times better than I remembered it), and we also get a very nice chronology of how his music evolved over time with his original Experience band and then the Band of Gypsies. But the true gem is something I never saw coming: Jimi playing traditional blues on an accoustic guitar. He starts off slowly and deliberately, and you get the sense that he's exploring something new or returning to something very old. Then he asks the cameraman to stop, and when he starts again he just relaxes into it. What he plays is 100% traditional blues, but he makes it totally his in a way that is utterly mindblowing. After that, the remaining performances are him taking the blues electric but to places that Led Zeppelin could only dream about. But I think the director knew that "Hear my Train A'coming" was the zenith of the film, because we get to hear it again over the closing credits. Five stars.
User Review - 10/10 by Paolo VA documentary of its time, and all the better for it. Voice-over is sacrificed for interview and concert footage only - both are excellent. The likes of Pete Townsend (humble), Eric Clapton (wise), Mick Jagger (cool), Th Allen Brothers (entertaining), Little Richard (hilarious) and many more, mostly high, help paint a rough biography of Hendrix with some interview footage of the man himself (this was filmed 3 years after he died). Hendrix was a true dicohtomy - quiet, modest and withdrawn without a guitar in his hand, a one-of-a-kind, never seen before or since virtuoso genius with, and the live footage is where this documentary soars. The slightly structured themes are punctuated by a collection of live performances that are nothing short of hypnotic. If what's to be learned from the interviews is nothing revelatory, these are. Watching his "Red House" at the Isle of Wight festival is beyond words. Hopefully this is still an interesting watch if you're not a complete sycophant.
User Review - 10/10 by Justin RGreat footage and interviews. A lot of live performances and interesting stories from his old girlfriend. There's even some bitterness/jealousy emanating from Eric Clapton as he recalls learning about Jimi's quick success..
User Review - 10/10 by Private UExcellent portrayal remarkably lacking the middle-class white mythologizing he's fallen prey to.
