Blue Wild Angel:
Jimi Hendrix at the Isle of Wright
5 out of 5
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quite recently, I met a woman who had a isle of Wright
key chain. I asked her what it was like there, and she
told me that it was "England in Miniature". I also asked
her if she had seen any concerts there, and she told me
that closest she came to anything like that was a garlic
convention. That sounds amazing, but I must say that
nothing can compare with the way Jimi Hendrix, Mitch
Mitchell and Billy Cox rocked the island to infinity
during this concert.
If you like Jimi Hendrix, you should see this! It's a very
good concert movie. The shots of the musicians
playing are great, long shots without distracting angles
or effects. From the start of the movie you follow Jimi
Hendrix as he enters the venue and takes the stage.
Small details like the band members drinking coca-cola
are nice. Jimi asks to be introduced as Blue Wild
Angel. This is a cool name, but the promoter didn't get
it so he just introduced him as Jimi Hendrix. Ah well.
There is some cool footage of the audience too. There
are some great folks in the massive crowds, dancing
and being free- there is even a man with his face
painted silver. The way the light shines on all of these
people is pretty cool.
As far as the music goes, it's at peak form. Sadly, Jimi
Hendrix would leave this world just 18 days after this
concert. RIP to this legend who really rocked music’s
ass to the extreme. RIP to the legend Mitch Mitchell as
well. Noel Redding was not in this movie, but sadly he
has also passed.
