Title: it's ALL about Race.....
Product review: Yes, this documentary, which could have been well produced and entertaining, was very nearly ruined by the producer's obsession with the whole boring, over-played, tired race issue. As an aside, Vernon Reid nor Lenny Kravitz, et. al., have any business commenting on Jimi...for any legitimate reason. The only significant draw in this video is the concert footage and a minimal amount of backround info. Also, as touched upon in the piece, we all know that Jimi was obviously correct to have fired and replaced Buddy Miles shortly after these historic gigs. Jimi could see that Buddy's skill level was not equal to the other two group members and the music itself. Don't expect too much other than some formerly unseen but remarkable concert footage. The double CD that goes with this is the real star.
