This is a good dvd and all, but: Dec 07, 2008
Hey Eddie Kramer can you hear me?
I wish they would have put the entire uncut album (possibly in 5.1 surround sound) on the dvd too, the interviews are great and all but sometimes I just wanna listen to nothing but the music this would and still could have the phenomenal aspect that a lot of people could and would enjoy and just to think what he would be doing now but I've heard that he was burned out from all the attention and overwork and this is what could have cause his demise.

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.
 Getting close to the genius. Sep 10, 2007
Watching this DVD brings the Hendrix fan closer to the soul that produced this beautiful work of art. The interviews and recollections show how Jimi's personality imprinted on everyone he worked with. They all still miss him terribly. This DVD provides insight into the process Hendrix evolved to in writing and recording his work. After watching this DVD I hear the album in a more informed light. Hendrix was a brilliant shooting star. I also noticed how much Prince copies Jimi's style. Somehow I missed that before this DVD.

It's a shame that one of the best guitarist in rock'n roll died so young. This is great music.

Behind the scenes in the studio Nov 03, 2006
Great video that focuses on the mixing of the individual parts in the studio mixing and really has some great behind the scenes glimpses into the making of this classic album. Very good quality and production. Very interesting to all guitarists interested in classic rock.
