Strange Day on Maui

This is not a bootleg. __ I filmed this on island of Maui, Hawaii in 1970.
I have a few copies made on DVD-R that I can make available to collectors, there's also some extra stuff on disc that I've done over the years and decades.

In the summer of 1970 I filmed Jimi Hendrix 6 weeks before he died. I made the 16mm color movie as an experiemental psychedelic art film. I was attempting to create some film effects to express a certain colorful DMT experience of Maui.

Almost all of the 15 minutes is multiple exposed film created in-the-camera before the film was developed. It was experimental, at start i had not intended it to be a"Hendrix" film.Many enjoy it as an authentic period piece of psychedelic art history.

In the middle of my work on the film I was lucky to be allowed by Mike Jeffery, Jimi's manager, to plant myself in one spot near the stage, to the side of the big Rainbow Bridge 35mm camera.

I had very little blank film at hand so I multiple exposed him ontop of the psychedelic film which had not yet been developed.

Rainbow Bridge director Chuck Wein said he couldn't allow me to record sound. I didn't have sound gear anyway. He said if I had he'd have kicked me out.

So later that year I cut sections of the film and arranged it to mood with Band of Gypses.
It turned out pretty cool.

In June '99 some footage from my film was seen on broadcast TV in the UK in "Reflections - The Man They Made God" ,a documentary film about Jimi produced by David Marks at the BBC.
I'm can sell a few DVD copies privately if requested.
