Sounds quite interesting RobbieRadio, I hope some CTTer has the possibillity to record this,and maybe put it up here. I live in the netherlands and unfortunately we don't have the Biography Channel overhere. There probably shall be more programs about Jimmi,as 18 september it will be 40 years ago he passed away. (strange idea,that Jimi is gone for almost twice the period he lived,still through his music,he's still around)
All the best
Thunderbaas.

[ilovejimi]

I wonder if this 2 hours special is the same one that will offered in the upcomming Anthology set.

[Sharpstat]

I have my DVR set to record it! The guide also says it will be shown in HD.

[Fenders Fingers]

Sharpie, you post it ok !

[MourningStar]

Doc-only download sites will most likely have this in hi-def once it's broadcast. Looking forward to it.

[RobbieRadio]

Don't expect any new film footage or interviews. 95 percent of Biography episodes consist of just still photos and "talking head" interviews. I expect this to follow the same pattern.

[zombywoof57]

thank-you i'll record it too

BIO CHANNEL PRESENTS “JIMI HENDRIX VOODOO CHILD”

TWO HOUR DOCUMENTARY FEATURING THE LEGENDARY GUITARIST’S STORY IN HIS OWN WORDS WITH EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWS AND RECORDINGS FROM HENDRIX PRIVATE ARCHIVE

PREMIERES THURSDAY, AUGUST 26 AT 9PM ET/ 8PM CT/ 10PM PT

NEW YORK, NY, AUGUST 23, 2010 – BIO Channel brings viewers inside the ground-breaking story of one man, his music and the world that embraced him with the two-hour documentary special “Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child,” premiering on Thursday, August 26 at 9PM ET/ 8PM CT/ 10PM PT.

Over the course of just four extraordinary years, Jimi Hendrix left an indelible stamp on the world, shaping not only popular music but popular culture as well. He remains the most innovative musician of his, or any other, era having virtually reshaped the vocabulary of the electric guitar for future generations. “Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child” is an autobiographical journey that reveals the man as never before, featuring the legendary musician’s own words to tell the story of his remarkable life.

Drawing upon interviews granted by Hendrix, coupled with letters, writings and recordings, “Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child” provides new insight into one of the most enduring icons of popular culture. The special is filled with never before seen photographs and film footage from the Hendrix family archive and features a soundtrack that includes such legendary Hendrix recordings as “Purple Haze,” “Hey Joe,” “Fire,” “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” together with never before heard live performances. Funk legend and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Bootsy Collins of Parliament-Funkadelic renown, is featured as the voice of Jimi Hendrix.

Legacy Recordings and Experience Hendrix LLC have recently joined forces on a monumental Jimi Hendrix catalog release project. Legacy’s next round of titles from the artist Rolling Stone magazine called “the greatest guitarist of all time” will include deluxe editions of Jimi Hendrix Experience: BBC Sessions and Jimi Hendrix: Blues, his legendary Live At Woodstock performance, and Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year, the highly collectible Jimi Hendrix Christmas EP.

The upcoming wave of 2010 Jimi Hendrix titles culminates in the long awaited release of West Coast Seattle Boy: The Jimi Hendrix Anthology, a definitive career-spanning four CD box set which tracks Hendrix’s remarkable journey from R&B sideman to international stardom. The deluxe set is filled with previously unreleased Jimi Hendrix Experience recordings plus demos, alternate takes and more.

Directed By Bob Smeaton. Produced By Janie Hendrix and John McDermott. “Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child” is produced for BIO Channel by Experience Hendrix L.L.C. Executive producers for BIO Channel are Tom Moody and Peter Tarshis.

I don't think this is on the European Biography channel this week; I hope they put it on over here sometime soon.

[RobWats67]

They must have gotten rid of the old Jimi Hendrix "Biography" episode with interviews of Eric Burdon, Alvenia Bridges, people he went to high school with, etc.

The last "Biography" episode they couldn't use his music because of Experience Hendrix.

[kdion11]

Don't expect any new film footage or interviews. 95 percent of Biography episodes consist of just still photos and "talking head" interviews. I expect this to follow the same pattern.

KD: Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

The blurb said:

"Includes such legendary Hendrix recordings as “Purple Haze,” “Hey Joe,” “Fire,” “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” together with never before heard live performances".

The earlier Bio Channel Jimi doc was made by the BBC without EH's
permission. This one's an EH production. Should be way different

[ilovejimi]

^im looking forward to it-- might be some good stuff

[zombywoof57]

me,too

[backfromthestorm]

Could someone upload it? For us Europeans? :-)

[thunderbaas]

Totally agree with back from the storm,unfortunately we do not have the biography channel here in Europe. And when this can't be put up here due to official material,
Putting it on Megaupload could be a suggestion.

Thanks in advance,
Thunderbaas.

[RasFreeman]

I'm pretty sure if this has new footage, it will turn up somewhere.
I think this bio will have at least some footage from RAH. So we will
probably be getting our first look at a clean print. Might even get some Miami
Pop footage. I'm just guessing, but if this the definitive doc on Jimi that's
been promised, I don't see EH not using all the available footage in the vault
(even if just clips here and there)

[MourningStar]

... And when this can't be put up here due to official material,
Putting it on Megaupload could be a suggestion.
...

I think airwave (radio/television) broadcasts are fair game, until it's officially released in a cd/dvd format, at which time it would then be pulled. Mods?

[RasFreeman]

This maybe the DVD part of the boxset as well.
