http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=1:276129~C
BLUE WILD ANGEL: Jimi Hendrix Live At The Isle Of Wight Blue Wild Angel: Jimi Hendrix Live at The Isle Of Wight is a 102 minute documentary by Academy Award winner Murray Lerner which features a crystal clear updated sound mix by engineer/record producer Eddie Kramer and other goodies separating this version from the 56 minute 1970 release. Videotaped documentary footage recorded three decades after the original film was shot adds insight. There are interviews with Kramer, bassist {$Billy Cox}, drummer Mitch Mitchell, Jim Marron - president of Electric Lady Studios, Hendrix tour manager Gerry Stickles, along with director Lerner himself and full length versions of the included songs from the legendary festival. As audio fragments of this concert became commercially available through the years including three tracks on Columbia Records The First Great Rock Festivals Of The Seventies and four other titles on Polydor's Jimi Hendrix / Isle Of Wight lp, different perceptions of one of Jimi's final concerts reached the public consciousness. At nearly double the 54 minute length of the Rhino Home Video} from 1970 entitled Jimi Hendrix: Live At The Isle of Wight, the result is simply breathtaking with Jimi Hendrix - the rock star performing in all his glory as his sun was about to set. Lerner calls this "a labor of love which took a long time to finish" and he credits the Experience Hendrix company with helping obtain the backing to complete the project. Filmed between approximately 2 AM and 4 AM on August 31, 1970, it is so dark that the 600,000 or so people in the audience hardly affect what you see on the screen. The director said the film is "deliberately claustrophobic" realizing that "Jimi was the key thing to photograph" stating that they stuck to Hendrix "very intensely". Billy Cox's brilliant bass work can be heard cleanly as both he and drummer Mitch Mitchell creat a platform on which genius unfolds. Jimi's versatility is in evidence, he clearly separated making a record from performing on stage. Purple Haze explodes in a way that would never have captured AM radio airplay, and is a stark contrast to the blues of "Red House" which, on film, has lots of interesting shots of Jimi's hand playing against the light while his facial expression is of a man lost in thought while in the throes of a wild solo. The guitarist here is a master technician, as is Murray Lerner who captures this modern day Beethoven with equal brilliance. The contrast of "Red House's" subtleties to Hendrix turning up his Marshall stacks and giving the people what they want -he psychedelic blasts of "Foxy Lady" - is more proof of how the singer/performer utilized all aspects of the stage - combining the volume and feedback with his clothing, hair, body movements, foot on the wah wah pedal, over amplification, all tools of this part of his trade. The build up with photography of the landscape before the main event and daytime glimpes of the crowd (along with Billy Cox's memories of how loud they were) combine to make this a respectful and precise look at a special moment in music history. Murray Lerner feels the 20 minute version of "Machine Gun" here "makes a big difference. It's much more powerful" (than the previous seven minute edit they had in release). The DVD has different camera angles for some of the songs included in the theatrical version, and will also include a bonus rare live performance of "Dolly Dagger".

First Impressions
A purple cover with gold embossed
letters, and one of my favorite rock stars
of all time comes to life again via the
written word.
Jimi's dad writes in a message from
Experience Hendrix General Headquarters
"...I also wanted to get the story of his
life straightened out before something
happened to me...I just got so tired of
seeing so much garbage and made up
stuff, I had to set the record straight."
Jimi's grandparents - the beauteous
Nora Hendrix in her show biz years,
Jimi's grand-dad in the age of horse
and carriages...on a whole other level
this book is a snapshot of an American
family - the photographs are incredible
life in Vancouver B.C., a front page of
the 1941 Seattle Star newspaper, the
Western Union telegram to Pvt. James
A Hendrickson (PFC James Allen
Hendrix), baby photos, rare and wonderful
photos of Jimi...the book is a treasure
chest and more evidence (as if it were
necessary) that the Hendrix Family
deserves to guard over Jimi's legacy.
Jas Obrecht, co-author, was for twenty
years an editor at Guitar Player magazine, and he is the primary author

This Music/Biography sells for $29.95

Second Impressions tm
(C)1999 Joe Viglione
James A. Hendrix tells his story to
Jas Obrecht, former editor of Guitar Player magazine and primary author
of Blues Guitar: The Men Who Made The Music. And many of us forget that
underneath the psychedelia, the fuzz guitar, the stage presence and
theatrics,
James Marshall Hendrix was, indeed,
a blues guitarist.
Check out the great stories...P 144 "Jimi
didn't give his first album to me directly,
I got one from some hippies who lived next door...I was surprised that I
knew it was Jimi because I'd never heard him sing before. I had also
never heard him play
as the Experience. But I told the wife, "Hey, that sounds like Jimi!"
..The people came over and brought their record. They had just bought
it that day, and they were
so excited over living next door to Jimi's dad. They said, "Oh, yeah!
You can have the record."
Great shots of The Experience at the airport during the visit to
Vancouver, Jimi's last visit home...reading this it is
hard to believe the rock warrior was only
27 years old...a baby - really, and made
such an impact on what we hear and how
people make music today.
This book is essential reading. It sells for
29.95
