The Jimi Hendrix Experience performs at the 2nd Atlanta Pop Festival, which was the last gathering of its kind in the U.S. Included along with the concert performance is archival news film of the event and interviews with the local people about their memories of that weekend.

If your a Jimi Hendrix fan what more could you ask for to watch the master at work both musically and spiritually at bringing people together.

This is the long awaited release of Jimi Hendrix's last major U.S. concert at what turned out to be the last Woodstock style music festival held in the U.S. This isn't just the performance of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, but a documentary about the festival itself and the efforts of concert promoter Alex Cooly to make it happen.

When Jimi Hendrix took the stage on July 4, 1970 at the Atlanta Pop festival, he had something to prove. His long delayed 4th LP was still gestating at Electric Lady studios; the Experience and Band of Gypsy's were but a memory. With drummer Mitch Mitchell from the former, and bassist Billy Cox from the latter, Hendrix was exploring a soul based blues/rock hybrid his audience had yet to hear. New songs like "Freedom", "Straight Ahead" and "Room Full of Mirrors" are bursting at the seems, while older songs like "Purple Haze" and "Foxy Lady" breathe new life. Interview footage before and after the concert footage give the performance a context that ultimately enhances one's appreciation of this legendary concert!
