To commemorate the birthday of Jimi Hendrix, Scared To Dance present an exclusive screening of Jimi Plays Berkeley. The film will be followed by an in-person Q&A with host Paul Richards and a very special guest.
This special, expanded edition of the 1971 film Jimi Plays Berkeley showcases some of Jimi’s finest ever performances filmed over two concerts at the Berkeley Community Theatre on May 30, 1970. The film documented the political unrest and student uprisings in Berkeley juxtaposed against such legendary Hendrix live performances as “Johnny B. Goode,” “Star Spangled Banner,” “I Don’t Live Today” and “Purple Haze.”
This expanded edition of the original 1971 film was digitally restored and transfer from the original 16mm negative. More than fifteen minutes of newly discovered, previously unseen documentary and performance footage of such classic songs as “Voodoo Child (Slight Return),” “Machine Gun” and “Hear My Train A Comin'” not featured in the original film release.
