Rating: Summary: For hard core Jimi fans only Review: This is a must have for all hardcore Jimi fans like myself. However, this is not really one of his best performances. He went on stage at 2AM in the morning, and looks very tired by the middle of the set. He was plagued with equipment problems, and clearly not happy with his playing on many tunes. Many of these were new songs,not fully worked out, and it shows. That said, however, when it clicks, it's Jimi The Master shining through. Red House is the stand out track,proof that Jimi was a master blues player.Machine Gun and Voodoo Chile have some stunning soloing as well. If you are a novice Hendrix fan, I would recommend you get Jimi at Monterey instead, which is easily his best filmed performance.
Rating: Summary: Too Short Review: This so-called document will probably be replaced with the longer almost complete BLUE WILD ANGEL documentary film. I just saw this 1 hour 40 min. doco on TV [SBS, Australia] last night and was amazed to find not only 13 of the 18 songs complete but also replete with between song misshaps and dialogue. The songs were also in the correct performance order. Yes, the complete versions of "Machine Gun" and "Foxy Lady" are here and yes, rare tracks like "Ezy Rider" also make their debut. The question is: will EH put out a VHS/DVD of the complete concert? WILD BLUE ANGEL is a marked 5 star improvement over this earlier version.

Rating: Summary: As powerful as alays. . .but. . . Review: Well, although Jimi Hendrix is as powerful as always, Jimi looks bored and tired during this performace. It's almost like he "woke up this morning and found himself dead." He looks like he's chewing something the whole time, and his guitar playing does not help. It's like he's forcing himself to do it one more time, but he really wants to get through it as quickly as possible. Okay, but there are a few good songs: Dolly Dagger, All Along The Watchtower, Red House and Freedom.
Rating: Summary: Hendrix lives on.... Review: What can I say, I enjoyed it! I'm a fan of Hendrix and the whole concert is a piece of art as well as rock history. My only complaints were that the camera-man didn't take into consideration that Jimi played left handed, so most of the shots of him playing show the back of his right hand and those shots that were taken from in front of him were obscured by the glare of the lights. But then again, this isn't a guitar instruction video now is it? Definitely worth every penny, you won't go wrong here!
Rating: Summary: Not Good But ok. Review: When I boutht this dvd, I thought I was gonna see a whole concert. Was I totally wrong! This is not an entire concert. But who would forget Jimi's searing rendition of red house? not me. For those of you that like Hendrix's pyrotechnics, get the following: Woodstock, Berkeley, Monterey, and Experience. I can't wait to get Wild Blue Angel when it comes out on Digipack and Dvd. Sources tell me that Jimi picked with his teeth on "hey Joe". The digipack wi tell me the truth Also on "foxy lady", Jimi picks with his teeth as well.

Rating: Summary: collectors piece Review: you'll refer to this one now again, not often, but you'll be pleased you have it in the collection. the man is clearly from another planet.
