This Isle of Wight concert was shot over 30 years ago and a couple months before Hendrix's untimely death. I thought the sound and picture quality were good. The film documents the uninterrupted concert which previous films did not. It's interesting to compare Hendrix's tour de force in Monterey Pop with this one. In the Isle of Wight performance, Hendrix shows signs of fatigue and frustration. As mentioned in other reviews, there is a thin blue line which runs through a small portion of the film, but it doesn't distract from the enjoyment this historical piece. This DVD is a must have for any true Hendrix fan.
