Here’s a preview of the new Jimi Hendrix film, ‘Electric Church,’ premiering next month on Showtime. It documents the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s performance at the Atlanta Pop Festival on July 4, 1970, and a scorching version of ‘Purple Haze’. The film’s title is a term Hendrix used to describe his live performances.
Over the weekend of July 3-5, 1970, the Atlanta Pop Festival featured an incendiary set from Jimi Hendrix that found him performing in front of his largest-ever U.S. audience.
One of Jimi Hendrix's guitars is in the middle of a legal tug-of-war that erupted last year and has escalated into a lawsuit that could cost the defendant $750,000 in damages.
