Jimi Hendrix Insightful Documentary - "Jimi Hendrix: Electric Church" Headed to Showtime

It's been 45 years since the world tragically lost famed rocker/musician Jimi Hendrix and people have been waiting for any insight into who he was. There have been various films and specials dedicated to him including 2013's, Jimi: All Is by My Side, starring Andre Benjamin but for some reason the film didn't get major shine.


Showtime is getting into the Hendrix mania with, Jimi Hendrix: Electric Church, an insane look inside the mind of the musician and how he rocked one his most famed performances via the 1970 Atlanta Pop Music Festival. The recently unearthed footage, shot by Steve Rash (The Buddy Holly Story), details the historic night and the efforts of promoter Alex Cooley to create the definitive music festival with Hendrix as the centerpiece.

Standout performances include such Hendrix classics as “Hey Joe,” “Voodoo Child (Slight Return),” “Purple Haze,” as well as versions of “Room Full Of Mirrors,” “Freedom,” “Straight Ahead” and “The Star Spangled Banner” against a backdrop of fireworks.  Premiering Friday, September 4, 2015 the film can be viewed via On Demand as well as the internet.


NICE!!
