Jimi Hendrix BBC Documentary Part 7

The material you are about to watch consists of seven files. It is the interview section of the cult documentary *The Uncut Story* (or its companion film *Hear My Train A Comin’*) Currently Part 1. The original, full-length documentary from which these excerpts were taken was produced and released in late 2004 or early 2005 (the ‘The Uncut Story’ version) or updated with additional interviews in 2013 (‘Hear My Train A Comin’’). The division of the film into specific 8–9-minute segments, however, took place around 2008–2012. At that time, YouTube’s algorithms and account restrictions allowed ordinary users to upload videos with a maximum length of precisely 10 minutes. The film’s directors spent many months gathering unique interviews – often the last ones given in the interviewees’ lifetimes – with people from Hendrix’s inner circle. Among those featured in these segments are: musicians from his bands (Mitch Mitchell, Noel Redding, Billy Cox). Other rock legends directly influenced by Hendrix (including Eric Clapton, Slash and Lemmy from Motörhead). His family and friends from his youth in Seattle.
