Hendrix 70: Live at Woodstock

To celebrate the 70th Anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's birth, see the legendary guitarist's unforgettable 1969 Woodstock concert to the big screen for the very first time. The concert will be presented uninterrupted in its original performance sequence complete with surround sound.

The film includes extensive archive of footage helmed by Academy Award winning director Michael Wadleigh. What he captured was a Jimi Hendrix performance unlike any other. Jimi premiered a new band and his extraordinary performance on that August morning included unforgettable renditions of such signature Hendrix songs as “Voodoo Child”, “Fire", “Purple Haze” and “Foxy Lady” as well as his dramatic interpretation of the “Star Spangled Banner”.

The release will also include footage and interviews with his band members such as Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell, engineer Eddie Kramer and Woodstock’s promoter Michael Lang. Directed by Grammy Award winner Bob Smeaton [Beatles Anthology, Band Of Gypsys, Festival Express], the documentary, which precedes the performance footage, reveals the struggle to stage the legendary festival and secure Hendrix as its headline artist.

Jimi Hendrix's Woodstock performance stands as one of the finest ever in rock music history. This presentation features the original 16mm footage digitally restored together with a new 5.1 audio surround mix by legendary engineer Eddie Kramer.
