1.0 out of 5 stars A Cheesy Rip-Off DVD from Janie Hendrix, November 17, 2010

Like many, I've just bought "BBC Sessions" again for the bonus DVD, after the hype build-up led us to believe that the DVD would include Hendrix's 3-song T.V. performance from the Lulu Show, but all we get are brief snippets, interrupted by interviews with BBC D.J.'s.....so the 3-song performance will continue to appear on bootleg DVD's.
And the closing credits, which thank Experience Hendrix's previous label distributor(MCA) suggest that this piece of crap video program has been sitting on the shelf(and with good reason) for a few years.
If you've got the previous 2-CD edition of "BBC Sessions", stick with it. The bonus audio track on the new edition is a soundtrack from a T.V. appearance where Hendrix sang live over the backing track from the studio version of "Burning of The Midnight Lamp". Hardly essential. Janie Hendrix would sell ice in the winter if she could get away with it. She owes the public an apology for the worthless, disappointing DVD included with this 2-CD set.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed with DVD, November 16, 2010

I preordered this deluxe edition and was very excited to finally have the Lulu performance on video from an official release. What a disappointment to find that the footage is chopped up with interviews mixed in. That would be fine if I also had the option to see the complete performance uninterrupted. The complete performance is less than 10 minutes long and would easily fit on the dvd. Guess I'll have to keep my "bootleg" version. Since the complete performance is not on this deluxe version, chances are it will never be released. This would have been the perfect place for it.

With All the millions of dollars and marketeering and sheer vomit-pulling greed
fueling the Hendrix Machine, one would hope that at least occassionally the ESTATE held and lorded by Christian-Censor and Pig-Head Janie, and the Supreme Collector-Scum John McDermont (a hold over from the anal-retentive August Angerame Empire taking white-hot delight in waving around unreleased material then hoarding it endlessly) could for at least once get the mixes right, release what JIMI's FANS WANT, at least once a year. New Versions? Balenced Midrange? Uncut Jams?

Forget it. It's another glittering scam, and of course there is no excuse for cutting up Jimi's LULU video performance with talk talk talk: Jimi would hate that. Yep I know. So do about 3 million fatally angry fans, but so much for "market-demand" and cherished democracy when you can have slime-slippin,'
moralizing-sippin' BLOB-ocracy & a woman who has no possible, natural right to decide one thing about her (half-)brother's truly sacred music.

"Too Bad Our Brother Can't Be With US Today." Long live the Jimi Key-Chain, Coffee-Mug, Carpet, Jock Strap----you vile hucksters. What happened to Scotland
Yard's look into what any doctor knows to be a murder? Make yrselves useful.

But those new to Jimi must buy this as it DOES contain some of his best "live-in-studio" work and proves his supremacy as early as 1967 over ever musician ever to live. Will Eric Clapton PLEASE PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT ALL THIS?
