Jimi Hendrix 8 mm silent footage from Seattle '70

Jimi Hendrix playing Sicks Stadium, Seattle, WA, USA, July 26, 1970. SILENT 8mm footage as originally preserved. The footage looks great. In addition to the footage here shown, an audio recording circulates of the entire concert performance and a different angle footage from the concert is available from here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zv6H__jTKdA

This little Seattle movie was filmed on July 26, 1970, the IoW performance that was released on DVD is from August 30, 1970. It sure looks to be the same shirt, but I am sure Jimi would use most of his clothings during several gigs ;-)

if theres audio to this...y dont u get it and que it up to the correct timing so i dont have to sit here in silence. its like giving me a picture of a glass of water while im stuck in the desert, pointless.

This image is not protected by the Jimi Hendrix Estate's copyright, the music is. Just put on a record in the background and go back for the few minutes it takes. You should make it, unlike in the desert with just a photo.

This is the one and only day I experienced Jimi Hendrix RIP perform live and my life changed forever.

Love and respect, Randy

I was there too... I recall the first half of the set was a bit sloppy but it did get better. Jimi mentioned that he'd been drinking scotch with his dad that afternoon. This was the third and last time I saw Hendrix in Seattle, the best gig of the three I saw was the one in the Coliseum with the original Experience, I think in 1969. That was a perfect show.

@coolsquirrels : no official DVD from Seattle.

@playon51 : Seattle : 2 shows in 1968, 1 in 1969 and 1 in 1970.

Just had the privilege last week while vacationing to meet Denny Weaver, he was the lead guitarist for the Fabulous Wailers at the time. He was telling me about this concert, a friend of his was running sound and he was hanging out with him. He even gave them an army blanket he had with him for Hendrix to stand on to try to reduce chance of shock! Said it was an amazing gig and he remembers watching Jimi look up to the sky in the pouring rain playing his heart out like he wasn't even feeling it!

Yup, I was in the crowd in close proximity to the stage and the person shooting this footage. Can you say flashback? What was so literally electric about his performance... it was wet and rainy. When he played and simultaneously hit the pedal on stage, he would jump up/back as if he had been shocked...and probably was. Talk about being connected to your instrument and music. An incredible memory etched in my mind.

I dont know what im onn right now, but seeing jimi in this video makes him look like hes one of those ghost encounters; that showed up only for a short limited of time. With the red outfit and the long sleeve things that dangle down lol Lord of the Hippies, God of the Guitar, King of the message!

I experienced Jimi Hendrix, Mitch Mitchell and Billy Cox at the old Sick's Seattle Stadium where, as a kid,  I'd seen the Seattle Rainiers play baseball. I'm guessing that a large percentage of the audience had "dropped" acid (LSD). People were sharing "joints" (hand-rolled cannabis cigarettes). (continued)
