Jimi Plays Berkeley does not catch Hendrix at his peak, as advertised. Hendrix played Berkeley a mere three months before the end. And what is captured here is not the Hendrix experience, but just the act. Hendrix delivers spectacular performances--particularly of Purple Haze and The Star Spangled Banner--and goes through all the motions, playing on his back (once) and with his teeth (five times!).

Perhaps because he sees in Dawes's death a firmer resolution. More likely, because a great deal of his material is taken from his own life. Dawes Oldham Williams is Dow. But to continue Dawes's life in conjunction with the life of Mossman would only lead to the writing of a novel and not death. So Dawes finds life in Dow Mossman, to a point. This point of departure...
