A documentary that highlights America's last great rock festival and Jimi Hendrix's legendary performance as its headline act on 4 July 1970.

Jimi performed in front of nearly 500,000 people at the Atlanta International Pop Festival - the largest US audience of his career. The film features dynamic versions of signature songs such as Purple Haze, Hey Joe, Foxy Lady and Voodoo Child (Slight Return) and also performances of exciting new songs such as Freedom and Straight Ahead, which he had recorded for his next album. During Jimi's dramatic rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, the festival set off fireworks above the stage, to the delight of the massive crowd.

The film also establishes the significance of the Atlanta festival, the last great pop gathering of its era. More than half a million people descended on Byron, Georgia, a tiny, rural community 100 miles south of Atlanta. Coming just months after Woodstock and Altamont, Atlanta Pop stood as the largest counterculture gathering in middle America.

The interviews include Hendrix himself, members of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, artists such as Leslie West and Gregg Allman, who also performed at the festival, Metallica's Kirk Hammett and more.
