Watch Jimi HendrixJimi Hendrix is the greatest guitar player of all time. If anyone questions me with any Steve Vai, John Petrucci, or Joe Satriani bullshit you'll go down in flames. This documentary features some complete versions of Jimi's best live performances. Rock stars, family members, and girlfriends are just a few of the people interviewed in this piece of art. Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney all flocked to see Jimi during his early years. Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones introduced Jimi at his first concert in America.
People don't realize how much happened musically from 1966 to 1970. The Beatles reinvented themselves three times then broke up, Flower Power and the Summer of Love came and went, Cream formed and broke up, Woodstock happened, heavy rock/metal was born, and Jimi Hendrix's rise to stardom happened just as quickly as his death. What has happened since 2006? Nothing.
This is a pretty raw documentary, almost as raw as Hendrix's guitar playing. I think it says a lot about not only Hendrix, or the music scene in the late 60's, but what living in the United States was like back then.
8.9/10
