Rainbow Bridge (found 16mm footage of Jimi Hendrix Concert; 1970): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:01, 27 February 2019

Background

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. This was done in an attempt to 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 that have been highly edited to shorten the length of each song. To date, no additional footage has ever been officially released and the remaining film can only be found in fragments on the Internet.
