Live at Woodstock, Jimi Hendrix’s headlining appearance at the most famous festival in rock music history, is rivaled only by his set at Monterey Pop for sheer legendary status. But the two are very different. The rock guitarist was a virtual unknown in America when he delivered his literally incendiary performance at Monterey in 1967. A little more than two years later he was an established star, picked to close this mammoth three-day show (he was slated to appear on Sunday night, but weather and various snafus pushed that to Monday morning). Introduced as the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Hendrix quickly corrects that to Gypsy Sun and Rainbows, with original drummer Mitch Mitchell and new bassist Billy Cox augmented by two percussionists and a second guitarist (all three are for the most part inaudible, subsumed in the great sonic wash of Hendrix’s wailing guitar and Mitchell’s thrashing drums). The music had changed, too. Hendrix had started moving away from the format of short, poppy songs with the Electric Ladyland album, and while he still plays "Purple Haze," "Foxey Lady," and "Fire," much of the emphasis in this lengthy set is on extended jamming. Not all of it works, but when it does--as on "Spanish Castle Magic" and a sped-up "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," which leads into the feedback-drenched re-imagining of "The Star-Spangled Banner"--the performance takes off. Little more than a year later, Jimi Hendrix, still regarded as the greatest rock guitarist ever, would be dead. --Sam Graham

本纪录片完成于吉米罕醉克斯早逝的三年后。本片可作为当时传记片的模板参考，但其中一些数据也需依历史考究再做修正。电影涵括了1967年吉米罕醉克斯于马昆俱乐部的演出，到1970年第三届怀特岛音乐节，他最后一场演唱会的画面。影片中也可看到他于1967年蒙特利音乐节跪在舞台上点火燃烧他的吉他、1969年以不可思议的电吉他技巧演奏美国国歌、1969跨1970年的东费尔摩音乐节新年之夜演出、1970年在加州柏克莱小区剧院摇滚大爆走……等多个经典现场表演实况。
迷幻六零末尾的药物迷失在本片里显得意外迷人。本片混合了旧影像和新纪录的片段，亦可见与吉米罕醉克斯同时代的音乐名人，如：艾瑞克克莱普顿、路瑞德、米契米切尔、米克杰格、彼特汤森、小理察等人是如何谈论他的珍贵访谈。

In a family of sheep rustlers, a 15-year-old must go up against his domineering father to help his younger brother keep the lamb left orphaned by their latest slaughter. Rustling touchingly presents an alternative masculinity instilled not with machismo, but with empathy.
