Shot less than three weeks before Jimi Hendrix's death, this middle-of-the-night concert is set at the conflict-ridden Isle of Wight festival, a troubled event well-documented in Message to Love: The Isle of Wight Festival 1970 by Murray Lerner, whose expanded footage of Hendrix comprises this movie.
Not one of Hendrix's stellar performances, and frayed a bit by the late hour and equipment problems, the concert nevertheless finds the legendary guitarist in a gracious mood, asking the crowd to be patient with his tuning and even allow him to start one song over after a bumpy start.
The real reasons for his less than stellar performance are the long and late travelling time to get to the Isle of Wight and the freezing temperatures and the equipment troubles.
