In collaboration with Experience Hendrix, the Museum of Pop Culture is celebrating Jimi Hendrix's birthday with special, rare screenings of Music, Money, Madness...Jimi Hendrix Live in Maui, a documentary chronicling the Jimi Hendrix Experience's storied visit to Maui.
Screenings will take place at 12:00pm and 2:00pm PT on Saturday, November 27 and Sunday, November 28 inside MoPOP's famed Sound and Vision Theatre, plus we'll have an artifact from the film on display in our Wild Blue Angel: Hendrix Abroad, 1966-1970 exhibition. Each screening is free with museum admission.
Music, Money, Madness… Jimi Hendrix Live in Maui chronicles The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s storied July 1970 visit to Maui and reveals how they became ensnared with the ill-fated Rainbow Bridge movie, produced by their controversial manager Michael Jeffery. Featuring never-before-released 16mm color film footage of the afternoon performances — mixed in 5.1 surround sound — the film presents new interviews with firsthand participants and key players such as Billy Cox, Eddie Kramer, Warner Bros. Executives, and several Rainbow Bridge cast members, as well as its director Chuck Wein. Their fascinating account tells the definitive story about one of the most controversial independent films ever made.
