The legacy of the Rainbow Bridge concerts is stunning on many levels. This has always been one of my favorite of Hendrix's live shows, if not all of his recordings, and that intensity remains as the Hendrix estate releases their official document.

I may still have this tape, somewhere in my archives
Good viewing cassette. Private collection item with good viewback quality. UBER RARE Video Tape Network art box sleeve, COMPLETE & UNCUT. Hard to find rare video collectible. Uber Rare VIDEO TAPE NETWORK edition, released about 1978. 49 minutes. The distributor label, VIDEO TAPE NETWORK was started by one of the geniuses behind the classic comedy satire, starring Chevy Chase, "The Groove Tube" (1974). John Lollos, a former NBC producer, started VTN as an entertainment provider of "closed-circuit tours on college campuses of Reefer Madness, rock concerts (like Jimi Hendrix, Cream and Jim Croce) and independent documentaries under the tagline "Television that won't rot your mind." The company's life was short lived, as it got pounded by the big studios and networks and their "need for greed" by 1984, and went out of business.
Said to be a limited edition, this was only released in the UK. This is said to consist of the complete Rainbow Bridge shows. The sound is better then bootleg quality, but not quite up to a regular live album. The playing has some really interesting moments, but over all is on the sloppy side. Songs include Hey Baby, In From The Storm, Foxy lady, Dolly Dagger, Red House, Freedom, Purple Haze & more. Purple Haze UK 001. |
