Movie Review: Missing songs

the songs HEY BABY, HEY JOE & MIDNIGHT LIGHTNING are rocking on the CD. an absolute dissappointment that footage for the same on the DVD is missing. would have loved to see those performancesMovie Review: Don't waste your money!
Summary: 1 Stars
Dear hendrix fans,I will not argue that hendrix was a great guitarist, and a huge inovator, but as a live guitarist, he was out of control, and not in a good way. I am a guitarist, bassist, drummer, singer, and song-writer, and as an experienced musician I was terribly disapointed in the bands performance. Mitch Mitchel(drums) made a mockery of himself as he played like a five-year-old holding his first pair of drumsticks. And jimi's guitar playing was nowhere near the quality of his album work. The only song worth seeing on this whole DVD is red house. If you are a skilled musician who likes watching skilled players, don't buy this DVD!
Movie Review: My Favorite Hendrix DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
HENDRIX BLUE WILD ANGELThis is one of my favorite Hendrix DVDS. In the mist of the 1970s Hendrix was trying to create new music. This concert proved to be one of his best performences ever other than the woodstock concert. Hendrix opened up with God Save The Queen an amazing thing bout the opening song was that Hendrix forget the song and asked one of his road managers before he went on How Does God Save The Queen Go? And his road manger sounded it out. Hendrix then went on stage and played it creativly great. Hendrix then had his Marshall Stacks bout 5 of them all go dead I mean no sound what so ever. Finally the roadys or whatever you like to call them fixed the amps and Hendrix started Spanish Castle Magic wow this was a differnt solo then Hendrix usually played. Hendrixs version of all along the wacthower took place next to me I loved wacthing Hendrix play this song Live it was a dream come true it was great. Hendrix went on with alot more songs I loved seeing Hendrix also play his new material like Freedom, Dolly Dagger, also In From The Storm. When Hendrix played Machine Gun that night he played his heart out running over 20 minutes I think this song was better played live at The Isle Of Wight than The Fillmore East. Hendrix played on Lover Man, and Message to Love. All together Hendrix played about 17 songs and this concert marked to be one of the latest and best concerts ever. BLUE WILD ANGEL:LIVE AT THE ISLE OF WIGHT ON DVD is a must have for a Hendrix fan better than all the rest DVDS ENJOY

Movie Review: The greatest contemporary electric guitarist ever!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I said that when I was thirteen years old, and I say it now at thirty eight years old. If anyone wants to see what it was all about instead of hearing what is played on the radio from "Are You Experienced" this DVD is it! An absolute master of his instrument, this footage shows his control, mastery and his limitless imagination of what the electric guitar is capable of. No one did it better. He layed it all down for future generations. This is Hendrix the musician as opposed to the rock star image that is portayed on radio and the media. His adventurous musicianship can be compared to saxophonists Eric Dolphy, Anthony Braxton, and Roland Kirk, to name a few, in his creative blend of sounds and notes. A small edit glitch! Check out during "Ezy Ryder" you will briefly see the headstock of his Gibson Flying V come into veiw when he was playing the tune with his Black Fender Stratocaster!
Not to much footage of Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell though. These two were great contributors to the music as well.
Five stars also must go to Eddie Kramer for his excellent remastering of the video and audio. Great sound and video footage.
Everyone that has even a remote interest in Jimi should own this. Check it out!
