JIMI HENDRIX - PLAYS BERKELEY DVD-V

JIMI HENDRIX/PLAYS BERKELEY DVD-V

Derived from a pair of concerts at the Berkeley (California) Community Theater on May 30, 1970, Jimi Plays Berkeley the film has always been a curious chapter in the history of Jimi Hendrix. Shot more as a test than a true documentary, it was hurriedly whipped together as an official film shortly after the great singer/songwriter/guitarist's unfortunate death. The final product has protest footage interspersed among the great performances.The film features excerpts of performances by Jimi, bassist Billy Cox, and drummer Mitch Mitchell from the two concerts. They perform hot versions of such Hendrix favorites as 'Purple Haze,' remarkable, lengthy tour-de-force takes on 'Machine Gun' and 'Voodoo Child (Slight Return),' and the artist's inimitable take on Chuck Berry's 'Johnny B. Goode.' Now digitally remastered, Jimi Plays Berkeley finally emerges for the first time on DVD with newly minted stereo and 5.1 surround sound, mixed by original Hendrix producer/engineer Eddie Kramer. As an added audio-only bonus, the DVD features the entire second set from that evening mixed in 5.1 surround sound.
