Jimi Hendrix "Voodo Child" Behind The Scenes

Here's more for the PBS American Masters program on Jimi Hendrix. It's the behind the scenes making of "Voodoo Chile/Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" from his Electric Ladyland album, and it features my buddy engineer Eddie Kramer, drummer Mitch Mitchell, a bit of Noel Redding, and Jimi's manager/producer Chas Chandler.

You also get to hear some isolated tracks of both Jimi and Steve Winwood playing, which is very cool.

I don't think this part was actually in the PBS doc, as there were a lot of outtakes that are spectacular but didn't make the cut because of time restrictions. That make this video even cooler, since it's pretty rare.
