SCARED TO DANCE

We are delighted to present a special screening of Jimi Plays Berkeley plus a Q&A, hosted by Paul Richards on Thursday 26th November at The Gate Picturehouse.

To commemorate the birthday of Jimi Hendrix, this special edition of the 1971 film Jimi Plays Berkeley showcases some of Jimi’s finest ever performances filmed over two concerts at the Berkeley Community Theatre on 30th May 1970. The film documented the political unrest and student uprisings in Berkeley juxtaposed against such legendary Hendrix live performances as “Johnny B. Goode”, “Star Spangled Banner”, “I Don’t Live Today” and “Purple Haze”.

This expanded edition of the original film was digitally restored and transferred from the original 16mm negative. More than fifteen minutes of newly discovered, previously unseen documentary and performance footage of such classic songs as “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)”, “Machine Gun” and “Hear My Train A Comin’” not featured in the original film release.

Tickets are now on sale.
