Rainbow Bridge (found 16mm footage of Jimi Hendrix Concert; 1970)
Jimi performing during the concert.
Status: Partially Found
After realizing that his youth counterculture film Rainbow Bridge was floundering, producer Mike Jeffrey brought in his client Jimi Hendrix to film an outdoor concert near the Haleakala Crater located in Maui, on July 30, 1970. This was done to hopefully reap his investment which he spent on the production of the movie. Although over 50 minutes of footage was shot for the film, the final version of the film features only 17 minutes of Hendrix's concert, which were highly edited to shorten the length of each song. To date, no additional footage has been officially released and the remaining film can only be found on the internet in bootleg format.
