A year ago or so, there was an ad running on tv showing Jimi Hendrix playing guitar. I think it featured a solo followed by the Foxy Lady riff. Maybe a Microsoft commercial? Any clue where the footage came from, ie, what movie? ---

Here’s the [HP laptop commercial](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvFsc2I8WNU). Not much to go on except for the pink boa. That rules out Monterey Pop. ---
