“Jimi Hendrix at Berkeley”

This 1971 film of Jimi Hendrix’s Memorial Day 1970 concert in Berkeley captures him in what many consider some of his best performances, and if that isn’t enough, the footage of anti-war demonstrations going on at the time intercut with the live footage offer a powerful reminder of a time when anti-war protests had a revolutionary feel to them. Jimi’s “Star-Spangled Banner” is here, as an intro into a surging performance of “Purple Haze.” The film will be screened, as always in 16mm. . . but with the volume up louder than usual.
