Great performances, a couple of minor gripes...
This was a great idea, to bring together all the famous Hendrix disciples out there and use their collective talents to pay tribute to the greatest guitarist of all time. And it's great--outstanding performances. They picked perfect guys for the concert, but I would have included Doyle Bramhall II, whose guitar sound has been compared to Hendrix's. The main weakness of the concert was the ensemble jam at the end on Voodoo Child. Kenny Olson started it off, the great Paul Rodgers belted out the vocals, and then time for the guitar solo......NOTHING. Nobody would take a solo! You got 5-6 hotshot Hendrix offshoots up there and nobody wants to solo on Voodoo Child? I guess nobody wanted to step on each other's toes. It just should have been rehearsed better, is my guess. Also, nobody made much use of the whammy bar or guitar feedback in their performances. C'mon guys! Those were two of Jimi's main trademarks! Those are my only gripes, though. Indigenous gave a strong performance, as did Kenny Wayne Shepherd. And then Living Colour came on and just blew everybody away--amazing performance from the entire band! Eric Gales followed them with a strong showing, but Living Colour's set was so over the top that they should have been the last to go on. OK, one more thing....during the ensemble jam on Voodoo Child, I noticed one of the players....who is that? Is it....I think it is--Kid Rock himself! (I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was him.) No leads from him or anything, but I think it would have been cool to have such a popular figure to step up to the mic and belt out a verse in his own style to surprise the crowd, instead of just standing there playing rhythm guitar in the background. Overall, though, a recommended DVD for all Hendrix fans!
