VHS Movie Reviews of Live at Woodstock [VHS]
Movie Review: Good show - better (and more complete) CD
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm a great fan of Jimi, but not of this DVD. Wihle it's entertaining to see Jimi put on weird looks during Voodoo Chile (Slight Return), it's a shame that there's only < 1hr total running time and NO extras whatsoever. I'm not a sucker for extras (I buy a DVD for the main course, not the desert), but it came as a bad surprise to me that many songs were left out, and they even edited Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) for time (sacrilege!). Also, on my DVD-player, there's a glitch in one song where the sound stops for a very short moment, while the film rolls on.Sound quality is reasonable for this age and era, camera work is not so fine, zooming in at the wrong places at times. (typical of many concert films IMHO, but they're trying to remain fresh throughout an entire, long concert)
My verdict: buy the CD. It's too big to fit on one CD (unlike this DVD, which will EASILY fit on one CD for sound/running time) and, while the CD is also edited for time, it contains more and longer songs. The DVD to me shows a lack of respect for the customers and true Hendrix fans.
3 Stars for the nice music and bonus of seeing Hendrix play seemingly effortlessly, but unless you really want to see Jimi on film (there are only 2 songs of Jimi on the 'general' Woodstock DVD) buy the double-CD.
Movie Review: The best one
Summary: 5 Stars
I own or have rented every Hendrix tape/dvd. This one is the best. The quality of the DVD and the sound are better then any of the others, and instead of a lot of has-beens being interviewed (all saying Hendrix was great), this one is actually all music!Movie Review: One of the Best Hendrix Performance ever
Summary: 5 Stars
This video is 53 minutes of Hendrix. No ineruptions or interviews just all Hendrix. I would give it more but there is only 5 stars.Movie Review: One of the Best Hendrix Performance ever

There's only one Jimi. It's cool to see this 30 year old stuff all digital. Although the people who attended woodstock scared me a bit, the performance is amazing.
