Description

In 1982, Andrew and Stuart Douglas, who owned the rights of several Jimi Hendrix concerts, commissioned Stephen Beck to produce a music video for the guitarist’s signature song “Voodoo Child.” Produced over the course of several days on 1-inch tape, Voodoo Child is a vibrant video synthesizer daydream that perfectly compliments the psychedelia of Jimi Hendrix’s musicianship.
