Classic Albums - The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland description
Can an effective episode of Classic Albums be produced when its subject's creator has been dead for more than a quarter century? Perhaps surprisingly, the answer is yes. With Experience members Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell, additional musicians on the order of Steve Winwood and Dave Mason, manager Chas Chandler, and engineer Eddie Kramer telling much of the story, Jimi Hendrix still stands front and center in this hourlong examination of the making of his most ambitious release, the 1968 double LP Electric Ladyland. The series's usual centerpiece (isolating parts of the multitrack tapes to illuminate the whole) is invaluable not only in demonstrating Hendrix's genius for building performances in the studio, but, by extension, implying how the music coming out of his head reflected his heart. The result is possibly the most moving documentary about Hendrix, and certainly one whose rare bits of film (such as a promotional clip for "Burning of the Midnight Lamp") make it even more invaluable. --Rickey Wright

♥♥♥♥ Working with the Master
Electric Ladyland has and always will be a classic album.
This DVD not only deals with the making of the album, but it shows what was going on with the band and Jimi Hendrix at the time.
The movie points out the hellish schedule they would have. It pointed out that they would be on one coast one night and the other coast the next night. At the same time Hendrix would try to make time to record while trying to put together his own recording studio in New York City.
It shows how Hendrix would for instance make recordings of guitar music at one speed and play it back at another for special effects.
It tells you how he used a comb with wax paper to simulate a kazoo sound for another track.
It interviews Michael Finnigan, who played on Rainy day, dream away.
Finnigan talks about how Hendrix instructed him to play the music they way he wanted it.
It indicates that Hendrix played a harpsichord on Burning of the Midnight Lamp. Hendrix was apparentley a good keyboard player.
Hendrix also uses Jack Casady to play bass guitar on some songs, and plays bass himself in Noel Reddings abscence.
This is in my mind a very good documentary.....I would recommend it to any Hendrix fan or any serious fan of the Rock of the 60's.
