From Chris Dixon's 30th Anniversary Series � C S Dixon

July 30, 2000 marks 30 years since Jimi's appearance at the 'Rainbow Bridge Vibratory Colour-Sound Experiment', at the Haleakala Crater on the island of Maui, Hawaii,
part of the filming of the movie 'Rainbow Bridge'. Jimi had been involved in the movie by his manager and by most accounts wanted little to do with the whole business.
His speaking parts in the movie amounted to little more than a couple of stoned raps (though they are interesting as a window into Jimi's 'stream of consciousness'
thought process). Suffice to say that without Jimi's participation we probably would never have heard of this movie. Luckily for us, he was convinced to play a concert
for the film, which would become the only reason to see the movie! The concert forms a fairly small part of the movie, and although relatively little music (and mostly
incomplete) made it to the final cut, the movie's concert sequences remain at this time the only officially released music from the concert. The so-called 'Rainbow Bridge
Soundtrack' album (the second posthumous Hendrix album, from '71) contained no music from Maui. Fortunately, almost all of the music played this day circulates on
soundboard (audience tapes also exist). The concert took place on a high ridge on Maui (locals apparently called it 'Rainbow Ridge', hence the (slightly altered) name of
the movie) somewhere near the Seabury Hall private school, the site of the movie shoot. Legend often has it that Jimi played in a mountaintop volcanic crater, but
footage of the actual crater near the end of the movie (and accounts by visitors to the area since) reveal it to be a rocky moonscape, unlike the grassy meadow we
see in the movie, so chances are that
