This is one of the most awesome concert DVDs I have bought or came across in a long time !!! this show's Jimi like I have never seen him perform a show before I could go on and on telling you how much I loved watching him play that guitar and make that sweet, sweet sound but I have to leave something for you all in surprise !!! the camera shots are awesome, the picture is more clear than I thought It would be the beginning of the DVD gives you some history of Hendrix and the band and the day'z leading up to the show, interviews with band members and whatnot. Truth is this is a DVD with Hendrix you can and will enjoy time and time again !!! I wish there had been more camera recorders back in the day's that could capture the concerts and music moments all these great guitarist imprinted on all the fans attending the show and the fans who buy the DVD's today like myself. I wish I had bought this when it first came out !!! and I'm sure you will enjoy it yourself.Read full review
Most people that know anything about Jimi Hendrix know that he stole the show at Woodstock, and rightfully so. This is his most amazing performance. "Fire" is a great, fun song as is "Izabella." "Red House" is very heartfelt and is often imitated, never duplicated by many, many bands. A classic! "Voodoo Child" is another great song and just like "Purple Haze" is one of his catchiest tunes. "The Star Spangled Banner" is Jimi's heavily-distorted, ultra-cool rendition of the American national anthem. One of the most famous things he ever did. "Woodstock Improvisation" cannot be fully expressed by words. It is a great instumental track that has to be heard to be appreciated. Everything about this cd is great, but I have to say that the video is better. You get to see the man in action, including the emotion he plays with on "Red House." The reactions from the crowd are nice, too. This is an outstanding album of an outstanding performance and you should definitely buy it now. You will not be disappointed.Read full review
This is a great DVD from start to finish it has great picture quality and sound quality even though it was recorded almost 50 years ago. If you like Rock n Roll then you have to watch the master Jimi Hendrix at the top of his game. Some of the guitar solo's are mind blowing for their time. Their is not one artist alive today with the magical artistic powers of Hendrix.

It was like being right there on the stage watching Hendrix. I learned so much about his playing, his style, and it was like he was forging or wrestling sounds. You could even see him sending cues to this new band that he had mostly just put together. Talk about being there! I never saw that from a concert floor. I've only been playing the Stratocaster for a couple years and this performance became personalized for me owing to the tones he was getting. Amazing innovative artist. I always wanted to see Hendrix live. The few blemishes made it real and honest compared with the super slick, and distant, productions of later artists I have come to expect. Standing ovation from me!!!!! I have yet to watch the second disk.
You finally get to see Jimmy Hendrix at his best 53 years later which never made it to the film only a couple of songs made it to the film now you get the whole thing
