A new documentary called Jimi Hendrix: Electric Church captures the late guitarist as he played the Atlanta Pop Festival in 1970. The doc, set to air September 4 on Showtime, sees Jimi playing live, as well as interviews with rock luminaries like Paul McCartney, Steve Winwood and Kirk Hammett.
The footage sees Hendrix playing to his largest U.S. crowd in his career, which was estimated at between 300,000 and 400,000 people. The concert took place 10 weeks before he died.
The doc also features interviews with promoter Alex Cooley, and Jimi's former bandmates, Billy Cox and the late Mitch Mitchell.
On October 30 an accompanying 2 CD set hits stores. Fans can also pick it up in a 2 LP version, or on DVD and Blu-ray.
