The Untold Story of Electric Lady Studios: Interview with Director John McDermott
“Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision” recounts the transformation of a bankrupt Manhattan nightclub into a cutting-edge recording facility, driven by Jimi Hendrix’s dream of owning a permanent studio. As the first artist-owned commercial recording studio, Electric Lady Studios was born from Hendrix's initial vision of creating an immersive nightclub experience, inspired by Greenwich Village’s short-lived Cerebrum, where patrons wore flowing robes amidst flashing lights, spectral images, and swirling soundscapes. Enamored by this unique setting, Hendrix enlisted Cerebrum's architect, John Storyk, to collaborate with him and his manager, Michael Jeffery. Together, they sought to turn the former Generation Club into what Hendrix called "an electric studio of participation." However, plans shifted from nightclub to studio, ultimately giving birth to Electric Lady Studios.
Evan Saxon, President and Head of International Distribution at Abramorama, highlights the studio’s enduring impact: “Electric Lady Studios has been home to some of the most iconic records ever produced, from artists like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, David Bowie, and Stevie Wonder to modern stars such as Bon Iver, Olivia Rodrigo, and Taylor Swift. Abramorama is honored to collaborate with Experience Hendrix L.L.C. to share this story with fans worldwide."
Directed by John McDermott and produced by Janie Hendrix, George Scott, and McDermott, the film features exclusive interviews with Steve Winwood-who joined Hendrix on the studio's opening night-Experience bassist Billy Cox, and original Electric Lady staff members who helped bring Hendrix’s vision to life. It also includes rare footage, photos, and track breakdowns of Hendrix classics like "Freedom," "Angel," and "Dolly Dagger" by legendary engineer Eddie Kramer.
While Hendrix's untimely death cut short his musical career, the success and legacy of Electric Lady Studios endure. The studio has hosted legends such as John Lennon, The Clash, AC/DC, Chic, Stevie Wonder, and more contemporary artists like Lady Gaga and Beyoncé. Hendrix’s creation stands as one of his lasting contributions to the music industry, which has evolved dramatically over the past 50 years.

    To me, there were other groups and individuals from the 60s that were almost as great as the Beattles. You forget Motown, folk songs, Simon and Garfunkel, and some others in the late 60s. I listen to some of her songs, but I don't enjoy much of it. It seems to relate to young girls and young women. Her music doesn't have a real soulful depth.

    Actually, I believe Aretha cut RESPECT in NY. The tune she cut in Muscle Shoals was I Never Loved a Man. After the big fight, the Swampers started going to NY on Wexler’s dime, where they cut all the other amazing hits for Aretha.

    I discovered the LLB during the Covid year while just looking for something on you tube to listen too. I just could not believe how good they are. As a musician I can appreciate the complexity of some of the songs they perform but most of all I just really like their attitude towards the music and as difficult as some of the songs they perform are, they keep as simple and close to the original as possible. Thank You LLB and keep it coming and Thank You Rick for the interview with Michael ( Vande) My goal when I retire next year is to hook up my camper trailer and haul it to Lexington and attend a live show.
