September 10, 2020<\/strong>\u00a0– Experience Hendrix L.L.C. in partnership with Legacy Recordings, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, are releasing the brand new feature length documentary\u00a0Music, Money, Madness . . . Jimi Hendrix In Maui<\/em>\u00a0as well as the accompanying album\u00a0Live In Maui<\/em>\u00a0on November 20. The film chronicles the Jimi Hendrix Experience\u2019s storied visit to Maui and how they became ensnared with the ill-fated\u00a0Rainbow Bridge<\/em>\u00a0movie produced by their controversial manager Michael Jeffery. The Blu-ray will include the full documentary as well as bonus features featuring all of the existing 16mm color film shot of the two performances that afternoon mixed in both stereo and \u00a05.1 surround sound. Included in the package will be\u00a0Live In Maui<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 both of the aforementioned sets spread across 2 CDs or 3 vinyl LPs, newly restored and mixed by longtime Jimi Hendrix engineer Eddie Kramer, and mastered by Bernie Grundman. \u201cVoodoo Child (Slight Return)\u201d from this historic concert is available today on streaming services; those who pre-order the package will receive a digital download of the track. In addition, there will be various Maui merchandise designs and music bundles available exclusively at the\u00a0Authentic Hendrix store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pre-order\u00a0Music, Money, Madness . . . Jimi Hendrix Live In Maui<\/em>\u00a0documentary\/Live In Maui<\/em>\u00a0album here:\u00a0https:\/\/jimihendrix.lnk.to\/maui<\/a><\/p>\n

By the middle of 1970, Jimi Hendrix was working on a follow up album to\u00a0Electric Ladyland<\/em>\u00a0with his bandmates Mitch Mitchell (drums) and Billy Cox (bass), headlining festivals and arenas across the U.S. and building Electric Lady Studios in Manhattan\u2019s Greenwich Village. Completing this state-of-the-art recording facility was proving to be a costly endeavor, so his manager Michael Jeffery procured a $500,000 advance from Warner Bros. to fund the remaining construction required to complete the studio. At those same meetings, Jeffery convinced Warner Bros. executives to finance a film called\u00a0Rainbow Bridge<\/em>\u00a0that was to be shot in Maui, in exchange for rights to its soundtrack album consisting of new Jimi Hendrix studio recordings.<\/p>\n

Inspired by\u00a0Easy Rider<\/em>\u00a0and directed by Warhol acolyte Chuck Wein, Jeffery\u2019s film centered around the idea of a \u201crainbow bridge\u201d between the unenlightened and enlightened worlds. It was envisioned to feature everything from surfing and yoga to meditation and Tai-Chi and filmed without the aid of a script or professional actors. It proved to be a rambling assemblage of hippie excess and Jeffery grew concerned that his investment was being squandered. The Experience were already booked to perform a concert in Honolulu at the H.I.C. Arena on August 1, 1970. Chuck Wein, desperate to feature Hendrix in some capacity within the film, devised a plan to film a free \u2018color\/sound vibratory experiment\u2019 on the lower slope of the dormant Haleakala volcano. Word of mouth about a free Jimi Hendrix concert led a few hundred curious Maui locals to the Baldwin cattle ranch in Olinda where a makeshift stage was constructed and the audience was arranged by their astrological signs.\u00a0 The performance was a success \u2013 the trio was at the height of its powers and played two sets flawlessly against a stunning natural backdrop.<\/p>\n

In the aftermath of his performance on Maui, Hendrix would return to New York and his work at Electric Lady Studios. He had no further involvement in\u00a0Rainbow Bridge<\/em>. He left for Europe at the end of August to headline the massive Isle Of Wight festival and begin a European tour. Tragically, he would die in London on September 18, 1970.<\/p>\n

The Cry Of Love<\/em>, the first album of posthumous Jimi Hendrix recordings, was issued in 1971 to wide commercial and critical acclaim. Jeffery readied\u00a0Rainbow Bridge<\/em>\u00a0and its accompanying soundtrack to be the next release. Despite its Hendrix association, the film was a commercial flop.\u00a0Rainbow Bridge<\/em>\u00a0confused moviegoers, many of whom were under the impression they were going to see a concert film. A scant 17 minutes of haphazardly edited Hendrix concert footage was used inthe final cut, and it proved to be the film\u2019s saving grace. Due to technical problems inherent in the original recording of the Maui performances, Mitch Mitchell had to overdub his drum tracks at Electric Lady Studios in 1971 just so those performances could be featured.<\/p>\n

Eddie Kramer recalls, “Mitch did a tremendous amount of work on the overdubs. If he didn\u2019t get it in one take, he certainly did in the second one and I was so blown away by his ability to duplicate the parts he had already played! He was determined to fix what suffered on the recordings due to the 50 mile an hour winds because they were playing on the side of a bloody volcano! After Jimi died it took a while before I was able to go back to the closet with all the tapes. Mitch was a trooper with a can do British attitude. It\u2019s all very well to overdub drums, but to do it so you can\u2019t tell,\u00a0that\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0the magic. He knew the material extremely well and it\u2019s a tribute to his sensitivity as a great musician and an equal and willing partner of Jimi\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

The posthumously released\u00a0Rainbow Bridge<\/em>\u00a0soundtrack album, prepared by Mitch Mitchell, Eddie Kramer and John Jansen, was first rate and featured classics such as \u201cDolly Dagger\u201d and \u201cHey Baby (New Rising Sun).\u201d The album, however, did not include audio from the Maui concert, which may have also added to consumer confusion.<\/p>\n

Directed by John McDermott \u00a0and produced by Janie Hendrix, George Scott and McDermott,\u00a0Music, Money, Madness . . . Jimi Hendrix In Maui\u00a0<\/em>incorporates never before released original footage and new interviews with firsthand participants and key players such as Billy Cox, Eddie Kramer, Warner Bros. executives and several\u00a0Rainbow Bridge<\/em>\u00a0cast members, as well as its director Chuck Wein. Their fascinating account tells the definitive story about one of the most controversial independent films ever made.<\/p>\n

The documentary sets the proverbial stage for\u00a0Live In Maui<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 the two full Jimi Hendrix Experience sets, including breathtaking renditions of crowd favorites like \u201cFoxey Lady,\u201d \u201cPurple Haze\u201d and Voodoo Child (Slight Return),\u201d as well as then-unreleased songs like \u201cDolly Dagger\u201d and \u201cFreedom\u201d that showcased the new direction Hendrix was moving toward.<\/p>\n

\u201cJimi loved adventure and there was certainly no shortage of it during his time in Hawaii, a place he also loved,\u201d said Janie Hendrix.\u00a0\u201cThe back story of Rainbow Bridge and these recordings paint a picture of Jimi\u2019s uncanny ability to turn the bizarre into something amazing! We\u2019re excited about this release because it gives the world a closer look at Jimi\u2019s genius.\u201d<\/p>\n
