The complete collection of Jimi Hendrix's celebrated appearances on The Dick Cavett Show is now available on Legacy Recordings. The Dick Cavett Show marked Jimi's US network television debut and this special documentary, directed by multiple Grammy Award winner Bob Smeaton [Beatles Anthology, Band Of Gypsys], features complete live performances of "Izabella," "Machine Gun," and "Hear My Train A Comin'" as well as new interviews with Cavett, Experience band members Mitch Mitchell and Billy Cox, and others.
Jimi's own insightful interviews with Cavett touched upon a variety of personal and professional issues ranging from his stint as a US Army paratrooper to his celebrated rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner" at the Woodstock Festival. These conversations with Cavett helped reveal the humor, passion, and intelligence of the man behind such rock classics as Are You Experienced and Electric Ladyland. This deluxe edition also includes a new, behind the scenes documentary. The Dick Cavett Show DVD runs 90 minutes total.
In the past we've seen DVD releases of

The Dick Cavett Show - Jimi Hendrix on DVD. Priced at 13.98 SRP, you can pre-order it from Amazon.com using the provided button link. We also have a wonderful look at the box art, thanks to the studio. Check it out:
NOTE: Apparently this title is a new re-release of a previously-available (but discontinued for a while) item which sported the same cover art. This upcoming "deluxe" release appears to be remastered, and contains a brand-new documentary as well. Our thanks to several readers who commented on Facebook and straightened us out about this.
