Experience Hendrix will be teaming up with Academy Award winning documentary filmmaker Murray Lerner for eight exclusive big screen showings of the critically acclaimed film Blue Wild Angel: JIMI HENDRIX Live At The Isle Of Wight. Blue Wild Angel will be screened alongside Lerner’s latest film The Other Side Of The Mirror: BOB DYLAN Live At The Newport Folk Festival, which documents Dylan’s three consecutive performances at the historic events in 1963, 1964 and 1965.

Recognized as the world's most influential rock guitarist, Jimi Hendrix’s performance at the Isle Of Wight Festival of Music, filmed less than three prior to the guitarists September 1970 passing, is a stunning visual document that captures Jimi Hendrix at the height of his powers. The 102-minute film captures the guitarist roaring through 'All Along The Watchtower', 'Voodoo Child (Slight Return)' and a unique medley of 'God Save The Queen' and 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'. Band members Mitch Mitchell, Billy Cox and others recount the electric atmosphere at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970, which also featured The Who, the Doors and Miles Davis.

The story behind Blue Wild Angel is almost as interesting: the festival promoters agreed to let filmmaker Murray Lerner document their landmark event. However, financial and other difficulties prevented the movie from being completed for over 25 years. Lerner finally secured the funds to complete his film, and he incorporated the performances and backstage shenanigans into the acclaimed documentary Message To Love: The Isle Of Wight Festival Of Music. Lerner's latest offering Blue Wild Angel focuses solely on Hendrix's performance at the festival, including much never-before seen footage.

To commemorate the big screen showings of the film, Director Murray Lerner will be present at each of the upcoming screenings to participate in special Q&A; Sessions focused on the films.
