Offered is a rare movie poster for the concert film released in 1973 Jimi Plays Berkeley. Derived from a pair of concerts at the Berkeley (California) Community Theater on May 30, 1970, Jimi Plays Berkeley the film has always been a curious chapter in the history of Jimi Hendrix. Shot more as a test than a true documentary, it was hurriedly whipped together as an official film shortly after the great singer-songwriter-guitarist’s unfortunate death. The final product has protest footage interspersed among the great performances, and at the time, when everyone was so hungry for anything Jimi, it became one of the most popular music films of its era. Now it can be viewed more as a time capsule wrapped around performances by Hendrix et al, performing a distinctly unique set for the time. These movie posters are tough to find. The poster measures 22 x 34 1/4 inches and presents with some edge tears, small separations at the factory folds and very small paper loss at the corners. Excellent condition.
