And in other music news: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 Hendrix DVD out today The Jimi Hendrix documentary A Film About Jimi Hendrix comes out today (Tuesday, June 28, 2005) on DVD. The double-disc package features a remastered version of the 1973 movie, with audio that's been remixed in 5.1 Surround Sound, and over 75 minutes' worth of never-before-seen bonus material. A Film About Jimi Hendrix includes several interviews with the guitarist, as well as performance footage from Woodstock, the Monterey Pop Festival, the Atlanta Pop Festival, and the Isle Of Wight Festival in the UK. It also has interviews with Hendrix, Who leader Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, and Lou Reed, among others. The bonus features include the movie From The Ukulele To The Strat, with interviews from Hendrix bandmates Mitch Mitchell, Billy Cox, and Buddy Miles; the full, six-minute version of "Stone Free" Hendrix did at the Atlanta Pop Festival on July 4, 1970, which has never been released before; and a featurette from 1972 with producer and engineer Eddie Kramer at the Hendrix-owned Electric Lady Studios in New York City, where he shows how the song "Dolly Dagger" was mixed, section-by-section.
During the mastering of the disks, studio technicians did their best to clear up Dylan's vocal tracks, which were difficult to understand. Unfortunately, though the most adavanced audio equipment was used, Dylan's voice was still completely illegible. When asked about his opinion on the cleanup effort, Dylan commented, "Uhhhnn fuuuh. Dunnn iiii, eeeennnuu fuuu struuu."
