hendrix at the albert hall

On the week that would have been Jimi Hendrix's 70th birthday (27th November) here's a riveting performance of him with the Experience at the Albert Hall in 1969. Filmed on two occasions, the 18th and 24th February it's Hendrix just 6 months before his historic gig at Woodstock and also had him playing the Star Spangled Banner as his final encore.
"The Hendrix family filed a lawsuit over the Albert Hall recordings which is all part a 40 year legal battle laying claim to the original material
Court papers apparently claim that the late guitar legend signed an agreement with the people who recorded the music at the two shows way back in 1969.
The lawsuit added that the the agreement would have given them the right to use the music in a future movie about Hendrix which never saw the light of day.
The late guitarist's estate has been locked in a legal battle for over 40 years over who owns the rights to the original recordings.
It is calling for ownership of the recordings and pushing for more than $2 million (£1.2 million) in legal costs and other expenses."
