The expanded edition of the 1971 film JIMI PLAYS BERKELEY screens in a new 4K digital transfer, digitally restored and transferred from the original 16mm negative. It adds more than 15 minutes of newly discovered documentary and performance footage and documents the political unrest and student uprisings in Berkeley alongside performances from two concerts at Berkeley Community Theatre on May 30, 1970, including “Johnny B. Goode,” “Star Spangled Banner,” “I Don’t Live Today,” “Purple Haze,” “Voodoo Child (Slight Return),” “Machine Gun” and “Hear My Train A Comin’.” The 24-minute short film JIMI HENDRIX: MIAMI POP FESTIVAL also plays with the film. Tickets are on sale.
