Bleeding Heart: Jimi Hendrix x Glastonbury

Had to post this – the video is dope. Created by British documentary maker Julien Temple, the video features four teenagers making their way to Glastonbury with a ‘live’ performance from the legendary Jimi Hendrix (the compositing is beautiful!).

“I like the idea of young teenage kids are still into something like that – and they are. Because no-one has taken guitar playing further than him. It’s interesting to put him in a modern context.” He also points out that there is a Hendrix connection to Glastonbury, even though he never played the festival. “Hendrix died four days before the very first Glastonbury festival. He wasn’t going to play, but his death overshadowed the whole event.”
