 Great for any musician influenced by HendrixApr 11, 2000
By J. Thomas Hudson
While the average Hendrix fan might not be interested in the details of how Electric Ladyland was made, for the musician this DVD is priceless. If you've seen "The Making of Sgt Pepper" and liked it, this is a similar treatment of Electric Ladyland. You get to hear individual tracks and interviews from the engineer and band members on how it was all done. Eddie Kramer, Mitch, Noel, all talking about their memories. You also get a glimpse into the personality of Hendrix that is very different than the wild man image. This movie has given me even more appreciation of this musical masterpiece.

 Okay, not outstandingSep 11, 2005
By wahwah5

While this DVD is interesting and well-produced, it doesn't measure up to other releases in the "Classic Album" series. The great bulk of screen time is spent on talking head interviews. That in itself would be okay, but they focus more on praising Jimi than discussing the music and the nuts and bolts of its creation. There is a lot of material that didn't make it onto this DVD - extensive alternate takes and outtakes - that has been broadcast on the radio. That material would have provided a fascinating supplement and insight into the Electric Ladyland creation process, and the brilliance behind the compositions of the songs. But instead this disc shows too much reminiscing about Jimi and mourning of his early death.
Once again, Eddie Kramer provides the meat of the subject matter, playing the mixer like a virtuoso. But even here his comments seem curiously attenuated. Electric Ladyland is a masterwork of studio recording, one of the striking achievements of 20th century rock music, and a complete treatment could fill several DVDs. Here we only get snippets. The same is true of the performances; this disc only shows brief clips, frequently interrupted, of various classic performances.
This is a disc for completists, and you probably won't want to watch it more than once. It talks about Jimi a lot, but there just isn't much of him here.

A documentary on the making of a classic albumJan 13, 2000
If you are a Hendrix fan and want to know how this album was made then this is DVD is for you. I liked how the engineer was able to strip songs to the bare bones and explain how Hendrix was able to obtain those unique guitar sounds.

How Hendrix made this recordFeb 10, 2000
By J. McGee
The video takes you through the making of the album Electric Ladyland with the guys who played,engineered, gofered, or what have you. It is done on a song by song basis with lots of videos, photos and live performances. I am not a Hendrix fanatic,but I thought it was fascinating and very well done. If you are a Hendrix fanantic you would love this.

more than a pop geniusJan 18, 1999
By lee ferrell- Ryokan
Jimi is often presented as a great guitarist in the realm of pop music. This film reveals how far from the truth that is.... The incredible delicacy and fluency Jimi created is likened in the film to Mozart, and the comparison is apt. He had an infallible sense of theme, variation, harmony, and conceptual completeness..., and the most compelling thing is that only lyrics were written down. The rest happened in Jimi's 'imagination.' The only place one can experience Jimi down deep where he really lived is found here, in "Jimi Hendrix."
