Love him!
ZZ Top version!
He was a very inspirational person and made some really good music. Hope you don't mind my intrusion!
No intrusion... welcome!
I was a musician and my band had a gig the first day so we didn't get to see him.
Our plans were to see him on the second day.
We made it to the festival and the weather wasn't very good.
Several bands performed mid-day in between sprinkles, but the afternoon brought heavy showers and the concert got rained out.
That would have been my only opportunity to see Hendrix live and I lost out due to the weather.
One of the most influential metal albums of all time.
Years ago he opened for the Monkees
And was booood off the stage...on 1 occasion.
Ticket to Ride / Beatles
Are you Experienced / Hendrix experience
Last train to clarksville / monkees
His music didn't agree with the pre-teenage audience who went to see The Monkees and he dropped off the tour after 8 dates. Obviously, loud psychedelic rock wasn't what their ears wanted to hear.
While the Monkees gigs turned out to be a failure for Hendrix, his exposure was enough to gain recognition that was ultimately beneficial to his career.
The Partidge Family or the Beatles, or even The Muppets would
have been a much better match to The Monkees crowd.

"After Just 1 Minute Of These Two Playing Together?"
"Eric Clapton Walked Off The Stage"
"And Was Observed Back Stage?.... Trying To Light A Cigarette"
"As He Was Virtually?.......Shaking"
"God?...Demoted Himself To Second Place That Night"
(It's A True Story That Was Witnessed By "Chaz Chandler")
"Jimi Hendrix's Manager At The Time"..........................
What a mismatch.
We think this was on purpose....just like the cancellation of $tar trek at 3 seasons. ( They knew they had enough episodes for ritual programming.)
Just like to -day...
Your silent face / new order
Red medicine / Fugazi
Mask off / the Future....
