Jimi Hendrix videography

The Jimi Hendrix Experience rehearsing with a camera crew at the Royal Albert Hall, London. The Last Experience, the film of the February 24, 1969, concert remains unreleased.[1]

Jimi Hendrix was an American guitarist and singer-songwriter who was active from 1962[2] until his death in 1970.[3] His videography includes commercially released films of musical performances and documentaries about his career. During his lifetime, Hendrix's performances appeared in two popular music festival films – Monterey Pop (1968)[4] and Woodstock (1970).[5] A short documentary, Experience (1968), also known as See My Music Talking, was also screened.[6]

At the time of his death, two concert films were in development. Jimi Plays Berkeley (1971) was the first film featuring Hendrix to be issued posthumously.[7] A second, tentatively titled The Last Experience, was filmed of the Jimi Hendrix Experience's last British concert.[8] However, legal difficulties have prevented its release.[8] Additionally, a theatrical film, with incidental music and 17 minutes of Hendrix's performing, was released as Rainbow Bridge (1971).[9] In 1973, the first attempt at a biographical documentary film, titled Jimi Hendrix was released.[9]

Over the years, many concert films and documentaries have been forthcoming. In addition to full-length performances at Monterey and Woodstock, Hendrix's 1970 concerts at the Isle of Wight and the Atlanta International Pop Festivals have been released on video.[10] DVD releases of several of these and the earlier films have been certified as "Gold" and "Platinum" in the US and UK.[11][12] The 2013 documentary Hear My Train A Comin' received an Emmy Award in 2014.[13]
