Offstage he was withdrawn, almost shy. Onstage he strapped on his kiss-the-sky Stratocaster and shattered all notions if how a guitar could be played.

This definitive documentary was the first authourised effort to detail Hendrix’s celebrated life and career. Hendrix’s family and close friends are joined by such rock legends as Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Pete Townsend and Little Richard, each presenting their own memories of the greatest rock guitarist of all time.

For the first time, this look at Jimi Hendrix and his legacy includes the sonic richness of a new Dolby 5.1 soundtrack prepared by the original Hendrix engineer Eddie Kramer plus over 87 minutes of rockin’ DVD extras in this 2-disc special edition. Revisit the electrifying, full- length concert performances from the Monteray, Woodstock and Isle of Wight 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 pulls out all the stops.
