Oh, for the good old days of 1969, when you could get a third of a million people into a field and not have a (seemingly) hint of trouble, whilst listening to some great (but not always) music.
Interesting to see that Scorsese was cutting his directorial teeth on some of the film, with interesting and pretty innovative dual shots. Some quite boring interviews with the punters (God were we all so earnest in those days?). The crowning event is of course Hendrix in his final throws as a human being, before he became a legend. Wow, could that man play guitar - it was like an extension of him, almost like a second voice coming out of his fingers.
Beautiful.

Beware Emma Thompson bearing gifts. In the opening minutes of I am Legend our uncredited Em is interviewed on a US TV news show (you would think her news would merit a press conference). She can barely suppress a smug delight. You see, she has reversed the effects of the common measles virus and transformed it into a cure for cancer. Cut to three years later. New York City is a wasteland. Cancer may be over, but the human race has gone right along with it. End of story, right? Well, not quite. Read more
