Did a quick search but couldnt spot anything.

Perhaps I should add that its on the "home page" of spotify.

That seems to be the link to the page with the video on. It's f**king well made and it made me think how great Hendrix would have been if he ever played. He died before I was born but still...

Whooooo hoooo That's just totally bl**dy brilliant in absolutely all respects How amazing would it be if there was any remote possibility of it ever happening for real. Even a half-decent looky-likey act would be more than a bit good given that the great man is sadly long gone and all that. Mucho thanx for posting the linky. Gotta love what could almost have turned into a "get orf my land" moment at the end as well Really need to watch that again I think ...

Why bother to make this.....he never played so lets leave it at that,would have been awsome if he had but the same could be said of many

John Lennon

Elvis

Rory Gallagher

Stevie Ray Vaughn

Lynrd Skynrd.....original

Janis Joplin

Michael Jackson...bit of a let off there

The list is endless

You have a point and all that ... and defo need to add Pink Floyd to that rather short list as well I reckon, quite possibly very near the top I might suggest However, assuming that you like Hendrix in any way shape or form, can you honestly say that it wasn't a bit of a goosebumps moment for you when watching what might have been Defo was for me anyways Apart from that it's a rather nice bit of work in the vid editing dept as well. A pointless exercise may be and no amount of wishful thinking is ever going to make it reality but I likey a lot ... even if it is 100% fake and all that !

[lord stradmor]

Well I loved it.

Why make it?

Because if Hendrix hadn't set his guitar on fire at Monterey, There would very likely never have been a Glastonbury.

Because its a brilliant "what if"

Because Julien Temple is a superb director

Because...

"If You Have to Ask, You Ain't Got It" - Fats Waller

Mind you, I wouldn't get in the back of Eavis' pick up. The man's a nutter behind the wheel

[Buglet]

Excellently done!

And if we're going to start on 'why make music vids', what was the point of all the drawings in that A-ha one??

[mikeb]

Just find it hard to understand why bother making this film. Its very clever,and in parts looks quite amazing,but it never happened.

Excellent post Mike.

[Buddhafish]

Well said Mike. I reckon anyone that loves Glastonbury would watch the hours of footage from Woodstock and think 'I wish I'd been there', and this transposes a major star from that era and lets us imagine what it must have been like to see someone we've lost. This little bit of fun (OK, corporate though it may be) is a wonderful way of illustrating what all Glastonbury lovers think about - the moments of magic that we cherish and recall on cold winter's days. I think it's ace.

brilliant

[Madyokel]

Bloody Brilliant!!!

Never got the chance to see him, but have never tired of his stuff.

And to merge another thread... Have just emailed the link to an old friend that I have not seen for too many years....

[LondonTom]

Wow thats really cool, as everyone said really well made A great bit of fantasy and the whole idea behind it really works. Love the ending though

[Ed209]

I really want to punch those boys

6 Music talking about this today....Julien Temple has some ideas about putting a holographic Jimi on the Pyramid....now that might make an interesting Sunday afternoon oldie...

[ethereal]

Eldest brother saw him at Isle of Wight before heading over to Pilton Pop, jammy so-and-so.

I think it would have been great if ME had chosen to play himself as a complete bastard.
