'Found' JIMI HENDRIX Concert Film Not As Rare As Originally Thought

September 22, 2004

According to Launch Radio Networks, recent reports of a long-lost JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE concert video being discovered in Europe are a bit exaggerated. Workers at Sweden's SVT public broadcasting network thought they had found an unseen Hendrix concert from Stockholm in 1969 while doing some video archiving. However, Experience Hendrix Catalog Manager John McDermott told Launch that the footage is in fact well known, and that portions of it have been included in Hendrix releases in 1996, 1999, and 2000. McDermott said there are no plans to release the Swedish show in its entirety, since the best parts of it have already come out.

McDermott also said there was no malicious intent on the part of the SVT people. Instead, he just thinks that since SVT is a big operation, people in one part of it wouldn't necessarily know what people in another section do. However, he hopes that anyone with Hendrix photos or video footage will come forward, since the family-owned and run Experience Hendrix is actively collecting whatever Hendrix memorabilia they can find.

That includes a complete show from Dallas in 1970. The person who shot that concert offered it to Hendrix's record company shortly after the guitarist's death in September 1970, but the label turned it down, and no one's seen the footage since then.
