Here's the blurb for it :

Experience Hendrix presents unforgettable highlights from two star-studded tribute concerts on behalf of Jimi Hendrix, hailed by critics and fans alike as the greatest guitarist of all time. Filmed in San Diego Street Scene and at the Paramount Theater in Hendrix's hometown of Seattle, these special, never-before-released performances feature legendary blues giants Buddy Guy and Hubert Sumlin coming together with Paul Rodgers, former Rolling Stones lead guitarist Mick Taylor and the newest generation of guitar heroes including Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Robert Randolph, Pearl Jam's Mike McCready, Kid Rock's Kenny Olson, and Vernon Reid to celebrate Jimi's legacy. Joining forces with these great artists are Mitch Mitchell and Billy Cox from The Jimi Hendrix Experience, as well as Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon from Double Trouble, the powerful rhythm section who served the late Stevie Ray Vaughan.

By the performers on this, I'd say unless it looks like it was filmed by a chimp, this one's a no brainer. wink

Re: Hendrix Tribute DVD

This looks great.  I love Buddy Guy, Eric Gales, Double Trouble, Buddy and Billy and Robert Randolph.  I was dissapointed to see Doyle Bramhall II, who was on part of this tour, is not on the DVD.  It looks like they give KWS too much time and too many tunes, that guy is nothing compared to someone like Buddy Guy, Robert Randolph, Eric Gales or even Doyle.  Thats my personal opinion.  Thanks for bringing this DVD to my attention, looks great, can't wait!

Re: Hendrix Tribute DVD

I will wait to hear reviews on the DVD as I saw the Washington, DC performance (first of the tour, I think) and the sound reinforcement was just horrible, despite being in a theater-like setting (DAR Constitution Hall) and not some Enormo-Dome stadium.  Shannon/Layton drowned out almost all of the guitarists but Buddy Guy and KWS who were almost loud enough to sit in the right place in the mix.  Being as Jimi was one of the main reasons I picked up my first electric guitar, I was seriously psyched to see this but the "Experience" was pretty disappointing.

Let's hear from you guys once you pick it up.

Re: Hendrix Tribute DVD

Wasn't listed on Amazon as of yesterday. But I did find a Muddy Waters tribute CD  (Paul Rodgers) with rave reviews.  Jeff Beck? David Gilmour? Brian Setzer? Holy crap I can't wait until Mr. Mailman drops this off! But also note at the end of one review "not for blues purists!" smile

Re: Hendrix Tribute DVD

Just picked this up two days ago.  Great DVD... only paid $13 for it at Newbury Comics (local store here in Massachusetts).  Indigenous and Eric Gales were outstanding, but I thought that Buddy Guy really stole the show at the end (no surprise).  Highly recommended.
