Legendary 1969 Woodstock Performance For Global Theatrical Release From November 26 2012
(London, November 4, 2012) – In Celebration of the 70th Anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's Birth, for the first time ever see Jimi Hendrix's unforgettable August 1969 Woodstock concert in select cinemas globally.
This special edition theatrical presentation, under the auspices of Experience Hendrix, L.L.C. has been carefully reassembled from the extensive archive of film footage helmed by Academy Award winning director Michael Wadleigh and his hand picked team of skilled camera operators and support personnel under the auspices of Experience Hendrix, LLC, the Hendrix family owned company. What they captured was a Jimi Hendrix performance unlike any other. Jimi premiered a new band and his extraordinary performance on that August morning included unforgettable renditions of such signature Hendrix songs as "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," "Fire," "Purple Haze" and "Foxy Lady" as well as his dramatic interpretation of the "Star Spangled Banner".
Jimi's fascinating road to the Woodstock festival is revealed by way of never before seen footage and interviews with his band members such as Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell, engineer Eddie Kramer and Woodstock's promoter Michael Lang. Directed by Grammy Award winner Bob Smeaton [Beatles Anthology, Band Of Gypsys, Festival Express], the documentary, which precedes the performance footage, reveals the struggle to stage the legendary festival and secure Hendrix as its headline artist.
Jimi Hendrix Woodstock performance stands as one of the finest ever in rock music history. This presentation features the original 16mm footage digitally restored together with a new 5.1 audio surround mix by legendary engineer Eddie Kramer. Kramer originally recorded the Woodstock festival and also served Jimi Hendrix as his recording engineer throughout his entire career.

While this is cool, there are some glaring problems.
1. JANIE HENDRIX IS NOT Jimi Hendrix's "sister".
Jimi never had any fucking sisters!!!! He had two brothers and that was all!
2. Though the songs listed may be in the correct order, the set is far from "complete".
The songs missing are:
Hear My Train A'Comin
Mastermind
Gypsy Woman/Aware Of Love
Stepping Stone
3. For some fucking reason they are NOT showing the film in Nashville or New York! I did a search for theaters, and the nearest places this film is showing to Nashville is Huntsville, AL and Louisville, KY.
I mean, come ON! Billy Cox LIVES HERE IN FUCKING NASHVILLE!!!
And I saw a post by someone else who was saying he was searching for a theater in NY to see it, but none were listed.
4. Experience Hendrix LLC is advertising this by claiming "for the first time ever see Jimi Hendrix's unforgettable August 1969 Woodstock concert in select cinemas globally."
BULLSHIT!
THE FIRST FUCKING TIME THIS WAS SHOWN ON THEATER SCREENS WAS WHEN THE GODDAMN WOODSTOCK MOVIE WAS RELEASED THEATRICALLY 42 FUCKING YEARS AGO IN 1970!!!!
But what else can one expect from Janie Hendrix? She will lie out her fucking ass to help her make a fucking dollar!!! I don't know why this is, but Experience Hendrix, LLC always are very efficient at FUCKING THINGS UP!
I WISH JANIE HENDRIX WOULD GO DIE IN A FIRE! SHE ONLY "CELEBRATES" JIMI'S LEGACY IF IT HELPS HER BANK ACCOUNT!
MONEY IS THE ONLY FUCKING REASON SHE GIVES A DAMN ABOUT JIMI AT ALL!!!
FUCKING CUNT!!!!
End rant here.
