Rating: Summary: ny gypsy Review: finally! some of the greatest music ever made is finally released!unfortunatly the vhs version doesn't have all the concrert footage! all the same it's great to finally see this incredible show. everybody in modern rock,funk, and progressive music has been influenced by these shows. imagine what's still out there!
Rating: Summary: oh well Review: talking heads video stop making sense is how concert videos should be made.the interveiws are fine,but why cut up concert videos?I waited 30 yrs to see machine gun and some idiot thinks he is an artist and chops it up.shame on the hendrix foundation.shame shame on you!
Rating: Summary: PIECE OF... Review: I think that this video was just another example of how misleading "music" videos are... The labels and back text all talked about the Footage, with interviews. This remackable piece of crap, spits on hendrix's grave!! Instead of letting him and his guitar tell you how great he was. They show you a clip of it and have some great aunt's best friends gas attendents brother in-laws father tell you how good band of gypsys were. If you want to watch people talk about hendrix, get this. Other wise SAVE YOUR MONEY FROM GREEDY CORPORATIONS WITH MISLEADING INFORMATION!!!!
Rating: Summary: PRETTY GOOD EVEN THOUGH I WAS GOING TO BUY A CONCERT TAPE. Review: I ENJOYED THE INTERVIEWS AND THE BITS AND PIECES OF THE DEC 31-JAN 31 GIGS. I ALSO OWN THE CD SET. IT PRETTY MUCH STATES THAT JIMI HENDRIX WAS GOING THROUGH A FUNK MUSIC PHASE THROUGHOUT THE LAST YEAR OF HIS LIFE. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TAPE TO ANY JIMI HENDRIX ENTHUSIAST .
Rating: Summary: Great documentary Review: This is a five stars video. Im glad that the people who made this video werent just thinking about all those guitar feaks out there, but actually on making a serious rock documentary. If you wanted this video to copy Hendrix licks on your little guitars, go back to your guitar mags. This is a serious job. Well done
Rating: Summary: good, but... Review: this was pretty good, but next time they need to show the concert the way it was originally filmed THEN show the interviews with the random friends, family, etc NOT both at the same time thus ruining the reason we bought the tape - to see hendrix rock out on guitar!
Rating: Summary: Butchered Concert Footage Review: I don't mind the interviews. I prefer hearing from people that really knew him, not his self proclaimed protégé's. But the butchered concert footage (especially guitar solos) is a criminal act. This is worse than Alan Douglas hiring session men to "finish" Jimi's unpolished studio work (Crash Landing).
Rating: Summary: Happy to relive the night. Review: I attended the second show on December 31st and I am just happy to be able to relive the experience through this video. Unlike some other reviewers, I enjoyed the insights from the participants. I just wish they had indicated which shows were being shown. If anyone knows which show was the black and white show that was shown most, please email me.
Rating: Summary: I thought I was buying a concert video Review: This movie was a monumental screw-up and a tremendous waiste of time. What live footage they've decided to put into the movie, they ruined with interviews. If they had really wanted to do Jimi's memory justice there would have been 83 min of concert footage. Unless you're a Hendrix fanatic who wants the movie just to have it (you'll spend your time watching Montery and Woodstock), don't get it. This one will sit on your shelf.
Rating: Summary: What were they thinking? Review: I loved seeing this footage but why must they destroy His solos? Especially in 'Machine Gun' Can't they just let us see Him play? I don't really care what those people had to say or think about Jimi, I bought the tape to see the footage of the Band of Gypsy's, not to hear some people's thought on Jimi. Can't anyone, besides bootleggers, give us what we want!? Complete shows! Not just some of the highlites.
