Cooper 20 u Northern exposure lbs Jimi Hendrix the legendary Rocker who died in 1970, is included in two videos on Woodstock 69. Video reviews by Richard Harrington the Washington Post Woodstock three Days of peace & music director s Cut 1994. Warner Home video. On the eve of Woodstock 94, Michael Wadleigh s Oscar winning 1970 film has been reissued in a spar Kling new color print with a digitally remixed sound track 40 minutes of new mostly performance foot age and a Point of View that has t really changed one bit. Much More than a Rock concert movie Woodstock is a snapshot of a generation in motion a genuine cultural Benchmark that in Many ways is responsible for the nostalgia and even the nausea attached to the original Woodstock. Last month Wadleigh described the film As a Canterbury tales. A journey to a Cathedral in the wilderness where the wooden stage is going up. Where the populace gather the Butcher Baker candlestick maker and whoever to listen to the choir and the priests to talk among themselves to get their spiritual batteries recharged. It s not like the songs mean nothing it s like they mean every indeed politics and social consciousness abound in Woodstock. If you look at the song choices Crosby stills & Nash s Long time coming and wooden ships Richie havens handsome Johnny Joan Baez s Joe Hill country Joe Mcdonald s feel like pm fixin to die rag Jimi Hendrix s Star spangled Banner there s a challenging sensibility at work reflecting Wadleigh s decision to fuse High entertainment values with politics so that it would get through to More people. Ironically it was the film s technical Bravura and the performance of the huge crowd and the startled townspeople around the Bethel concert site that elevated Woodstock and Woodstock to mythological status by carrying a much subtler and engaging message. Because of its immense popularity it is the top grossing documentary of All Tim Woodstock is How most people came to know the festival and its generation and As one grizzled local notes in the film nobody can complain about the when he turns his attention to the stage wad Leigh s innovative use of split screens and integrated multiple images make certain performances magical the who s see me feel me sly Stone s incendiary i want to take you higher Santana s soul Sacri fice ten years after s going Home and Crosby stills & Nash s suite Judy Blue eyes. Others Are simply charming particularly John Sebastian s stoned younger generation and Joe Cocker s mesmerizing with a Little help from my friends. The new performances come from canned heat change is Gonna com Jimi Hendrix Jefferson air plane two less than Stellar songs won t you try and Uncle Sam s blues and Janis Joplin whose work me lord includes these bitter lyrics i feel so useless Down Here with no one to a cml Hendrix Woodstock 1994. Mca music video. While still not the definitive Woodstock Hendrix he played for More than two hour this film is a treasure primarily for its visuals it was filmed by Wadleigh and Only occasionally for its music. For one thing Hendrix s band was not the experience Trio but a new under rehearsed sextet he called the Gypsy Sun and Rainbow band it eventually evolved into band of Gypsy. While the group did feature drummer Mitch Mitchell the newcomers included bassist Billy Cox second guitarist Larry Lee and two percussionists Jerry Velez and Juma Sutar both barely audible in Eddie Kramer s mix. This Sunrise serenade Hendrix went on at 8 . Monday to a dwindled crowd of 25 000 May have been the Only breakfast show he Ever played in Public anyway. But it was in glorious Daylight and that allows for some great documentation of the Hendrix style. At times close ups of his hands work ing the strato Caster neck blend instruction with do etry. While Hendrix looks great in his White beaded leather jacket jeans and red Bandanna Scarf his playing ranges from inspired to perfunctory. It s not in the film but at several Points Hendrix apologized to the crowd i know it s not together and the ensemble work is often ragged despite the guitarist Subtle instructions. Twenty five years Down the line Hendrix remains an astonishing and imposing figure made even More so by this video s Superb colors and sound clarity Page 18 sunday August 21, 1994
