Experience Hendrix, L.L.C. is pleased to announce the forthcoming release of Jimi Hendrix: The Dick Cavett Show to home video on May 14th. This all-new 90-minute video release features the complete collection of Jimi Hendrix's celebrated appearances on The Dick Cavett Show and marks the first time that the complete archival footage of these performances has been made available.

The Dick Cavett Show represented Jimi's US network television debut and this special collection features complete live performances of "Izabella", "Machine Gun", and "Hear My Train A Comin'. Jimi's 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 created especially for this release. The documentary provides the inside story of Hendrix's two unforgettable Cavett appearances-as well as the one he missed at the last minute-a special Woodstock program which aired just hours after the conclusion of Jimi's legendary performance at the festival site. The program features interviews with drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Billy Cox from the Jimi Hendrix Experience, as well as new commentary from Dick Cavett.

In addition to the sixty-minute documentary, both of Jimi's Cavett appearances are presented individually, in their entirety, complete with each program's opening monologue.

Jimi Hendrix: The Dick Cavett Show will be released simultaneously around the world on May 14, 2002 on both VHS ($14.95) and DVD ($19.95) formats. As with previous Experience Hendrix DVD releases, Jimi Hendrix: The Dick Cavett Show will be released as a 'region free' format.
