In the clip, Hendrix’s trusted engineer Eddie Kramer describes revisiting the demo tapes that Jimi recorded in his room at New York’s Drake Hotel, undeterred by ringing phones and knocks on the door from fellow guests telling him to keep the noise down. Watch it below:

Those very demo tapes have been restored by Kramer and form part of the Electric Ladyland 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, which you can pre-order here.
