- Citazioni
Self - Interviewee: [Pete Townshend] I said to Jimi, I said, "Fuck it, man, we're not going to follow you on." So he said, "Well, I'm not going to follow you on." So, I said, "Listen, we are not going to follow you on and that is it. You know. As far as I'm concerned, you know, we were ready to go on now, our gears going to be there, its the end of it, you know." And, there was a certain look in his eye and he got on a chair and he played some amazing guitar, just standing on a chair in the dressing room. Janis Joplin was there. Brian Jones. Eric. And me and a few other people just standing around. And then he got down off the chair and just said, turned around to me, and said, "If I'm going to follow you, I'm going to pull all the stops."

This documentary was made and released three years after the death of Jimi Hendrix and it really shows what a masterful talent he was. When viewing this today people might not get its full impact because it features clips from various concerts that have since been released complete and on their own. With that said, it's important to remember that for a time this here was the only way to see much of this footage. Eric Clapton, Paul Caruso, Billy Cox, Pete Townsend, Mick Jagger, Little Richard and Lou Reed are just some of the people who talk about who Hendrix was and what he was able to do with his guitar. Through the interviews you really get a great sense of what other artists thought of his talent and it's interesting hearing them talk so shortly after his death. Many of the stories are very entertaining and especially the reactions from them in regards to the first time they saw Hendrix and his talent. We also get an interview with Hendrix's own father who discusses his sons early days and how he got to playing guitar to begin with. Overall this is a very entertaining documentary that tells you some good stories about the legend but the majority of the running time come from various concert and television performances. No matter how many times you watch him perform you really can't believe that he was actually human and pulling off all of this music. Fans of Hendrix will probably own many of these shows in a complete form but this documentary is still very good for those unfamiliar with the work of Hendrix or those who just want to kick back and enjoy the music.
