 Wait for VH1-ClassicsSep 19, 2004
By Flipflopper
I think that you can fit more than 50 minutes on one DVD these days. They trick you into paying $35 by putting this documentary on 3 DVDs like you're getting more.
Wait for it to come out on TV, which wont be long. Try to see it though if you like Hendrix though because it's a very comprehensive look into his life and even though it was obviously low budget, another reason not to pay 35 dollars, it covers a lot with great detail and was very ambitious. Great interviews from family and girlfriends, musicians, producers, and even Jimi's old football coac)and you get a lot of perspective into Hendrix as an artist and as a person. The people that made it were obviously big fans. But its not something you'd see more than once which makes it not worth the price.

 Dont bother!Nov 19, 2004
By Kieran Kelly
"Hypobolic"
Chances are that you're already a fan of Jimi if you're considering buying this. You'll probably already know when he was born, that he moved to England and that he is dead. Somehow or other this DVD manages to stretch that information into 3 hours! Don't be bamboozled by the fact that there are 3 DVD's in this set, each DVD is only 1 hour long? There is no footage of Jimi in concert or anything of interest musically. I don't understand why they didn't just put all the documentary on one DVD and had a second DVD with him in concert with the Experience and the 3rd DVD with the Band of Gypsy's...now that would be worth buying......this just isn't.

Good Production--ripoff price!Sep 15, 2004
By Bill Tell
35 bucks for a 3 hour documentary! Please. Some good stuff though, esp. when the family talks about the insight to some Hendrix lyrics. I never heard that before. It is unauthorized so of course it doesnt have any Hendrix music. Buy it used, I would have added two stars if they sold it for 20 dollars because it goes into a lot of detail and has some great intervieews and was overall a good production.

3 minus 2 starsOct 09, 2004
By hothead
I am giving the documentary 3 stars because there is some good interviews and tells the story of Jimi Hendrix with a lot of detail. It was well put together by the film makers. But at the same time I am taking a star away for making a Hendrix documentary without Hendrix music and another star for charging so much for a documentary that is not much longer than a regualar movie. I agree with the other reviews that it is definitely worthwhile for a documentary and as far as documentaries it is one of the better docuemntaries about a musician that I have ever seen, but c'mon a Hendrix documentary without the music.

 I know, I know...it's overpricedOct 18, 2007
By CrimZap
Yes it is overpriced, but there are some interesting tidbits on this documentary. I like the music too and hear a lot of people complaining about no music...well, hell, go buy the great music dvds available and quit whining just because you don't like documentaries that much (that shows in some of the ratings, for real). I found the first disk of the three the most interesting, though all three had something to offer. I do think it could have been put on one disk that said part 1, part 2, and part 3.
I was pleased with many of the people who were commenting. The real Hendrix family and people like guitarist John McLaughlin. Someone said it was subjective. I would tell that person that his/hers memories on someone are also subjective. I would also say that most of history is subjective in some way or another. The documentary is not a science as far as I know, so words like subjective should be tossed out on this type of review.
Jimi Hendrix: An Illustrated ExperienceFinally, I sure am glad that Janie wasn't involved with this project and I still don't know why the judge ruled in her favor. If I'm not mistaken, she wasn't even born when Jimi died. Leon, his aunt (who was wonderful in this documentary), and his other blood relatives were involved. Who better to tell a story than those that lived with Jimi or spent time in the studio with him? (and gosh...now Janie has "co-authored" a book about Jimi...talk about subjective and biased...I sure wouldn't pay $45 for it and her having signed some copies is sure no incentive. Who is she and what has she done other than rip off the real Hendrix family and people that performed with Jimi?)
