- QuizThe music credits list Francis Scott Key as the author of "The Star Spangled Banner," which Jimi Hendrix played at the end of this Georgia concert while fireworks went off in the distance. However, Key only wrote the lyrics, while Hendrix played only the melody, which was written by an Englishman, John Stafford Smith.
- Citazioni
David Frost, Himself: I heard you use the expression, an Electric Church, as a ambition you had. Was this speaking metaphorically or poetically or do you really want it.
Jimi Hendrix, Himself: Honestly, I don't know. It's just a belief I have, you know, and we do use electric guitars. Everything, you know, is electrified nowadays. So, therefore, the belief comes in through electricity to the people, whatever. That's why we play so loud. Because it doesn't actually hit through the ear drums - like most groups do nowadays. You know, they say, we're gonna play loud too because they play loud. And they've got this real shrill sound. You know, it's really hard. We're playin' for our sound to go inside the soul of the person, actually, you know. And see if they can awaken some kind of thing in their minds, you know. Because there are so many sleepin' people. You can call it that, if you want to.
The first half of the dvd is interviews and commentary about the era. The last half is the Jimi Hendrix performance at Atlanta Pop Festival 2 July 1970.
The first half sets the stage of the era for the concert. A historical event indeed. At that time Jimi described his set as "Electric Church" hence the name of the DVD.
It is also July 4th. To top it off he does a rendition if "The Start Spangled Banner" at midnight complete with fireworks. This version is without the insertion of the military "Taps" song (Woodstock version) as he plays the song straight through as only Jimi can do.
This was the one time Jimi worked with visual music artists. The Electric Collage visual music, unique to this pop festival, can be seen occasionally in Jimi's set. In the DVD the film clip of Jimi 1969 in Atlanta was from the Electric Collage film library.
It's a piece of history you don't want to miss.
