Jimi Hendrix 8 mm silent footage from Aarhus '70

Jimi Hendrix playing Vejlby-Risskov Hallen, Aarhus, Denmark, September 2, 1970. SILENT 8mm footage as originally preserved. Hendrix walks of stage and cut short the performance after 25 minutes of concert. The footage is underexposed and of poor quality, although it improves after 29 secs. The last few seconds of the footage, I believe Hendrix had walked of stage... in addition to the footage here shown, an excellent audio recording circulates of the full performance.

this is cool - any other footage from this show out there?

[alrunen]

-No. This is all the known footage. A small number of newspaper and private photographers were present as well.

It's a bit funny to see this video, because my mom were there - and for years, she has told me, that this was where she decided that if she ever had a son he should be named Jimi (I was born 2 yrs later with that name and spelling too - I was the first in Denmark with that spelling).

A bit "wierd" seeing that video, as this was where the idea of me appeared :-)

Thank you for posting this video.

RIP Jimi

I think you can make out Jimi's girlfriend Kirsten Nefer at 0:25 . There is a photo of her at the concert and it looks like the figure in the video is in the same position as her in the photo.

Alrunen, could you torrent this, man? Thanks

I bet the people were angry at him for cutting it short, esp. without knowing that he'd been overworked & happened to be the worlds (I believe) over booked musician at that time.

overdosage of sleeping pills and some alcohol. no heroine...

[SteadyHaze]

Err..Youtube is idiotic and caused me not to see the comment thread before I posted...Ignore that comment

[mytube1349]

no need for apologies. the Hendrix death case is a dodgy one and misinformation comes left and right.

[shalammi]

I thank you for correcting me, and apologise for my ignorance.

I read a book about him many years ago, and thought it held the truth!
