 Great content.....pitiful resolution !!!!!Nov 24, 2009
I had very high hopes for the Hendrix footage but was sadly disappointed in the quality of the video. It should not be called "bluray". It gives the buyer the idea like the resolution is 1080P. The video is grainy and pathetic. The content is great but the quality of the disc is pathetic. Don't buy this for a high quality video concert...you will be sadly disappointed. Buy it for content only.

Almost perfectJun 11, 2009
The best on this release is the sound , it is much better then on dvd.Why no 5 stars ?Because of the aspect-ratio , this is not made for 16/9 tv's.
Every musiclover must have this in his collection...

It's Jimi's representation at Woodstock... what else do you want ? The package is very nice... you have documentaries besides Jimi's concert... 5 stars for this blu ray disc... 100 stars for Jimi.

RATE THE PRODUCT, IDIOT!!!!Jan 24, 2009
...Not Amazon.com. Everyone is aware of the infrequent negative experiences associated with online shopping. Pull your head out and quit skewing ratings for products that you haven't even received. Why is that so hard for people to understand?! By the way, I have rated this with 5 stars to correct your douchebaggery, and I have actually seen the product.

Faithful to the performanceDec 01, 2008
This Blu-ray edition of Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock is basically the same version we got on the regular DVD. The big difference here is the picture, which is really nice all things considered. After all this was almost 40 years ago, and Jimi hit the stage early monday morning after most of the audience had gone home, and the film crew were obviously at the end of their rope. There are moments of brilliance interspersed with chaos; both musically, and for the film crew. Fortunately these moments usually happen together. The audio mix on this disc sounded more faithful to the performance. I'm able to hear Larry Lee's guitar work, which was a pleasant surprise. The picture quality allowed for a few discoveries. At the end of Red House you can see Jimi had broken a guitar string. I've seen this performance many times before but had never caught that. This new line-up was a departure for Hendrix. He expanded his sound with more instruments to explore new musical landscapes. He was also under a lot of pressure from his manager not to change the successful formula of The Experience, so this was a bold move by Jimi, and when it worked it was amazing. The historic significance of this performance is obvious, and I would highly recommend this blu-ray edition of Jimi Hendrix Live at Woodstock.
