Jimi Hendrix (1973)

An original 1973 Warner Bros. Publicity Still, unframed.

Jimi Hendrix arriving in Denmark on a concert tour: wide-brimmed hat, cigarette in his mouth, drink in hand and guitar strap slung across his shoulder. The caption explains that the image comes from the Warner Bros. documentary Jimi Hendrix, which tells his life story through his music.

Released three years after his death, the documentary combined footage from Monterey, Woodstock and the Isle of Wight with interviews from Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend, Little Richard and Mick Jagger. Hendrix rewrote what the electric guitar could do in barely four years, and offstage images like this are a treat for music and film collectors alike.
