THE JIMI HENDRIX STORY - APRIL 1969 - EPISODE 33 PART 1

Man just drop it , in terms of music blues music killing jimi or anyone, Albert king and muddy have always been about healing to me , man it seems like his management almost tried to kill him. Wow.

One can feel the pressure that Jimi was under from numerous sides with various agendas beginning to build in this episode. I know that it was important for him to be back in America and that he effectively wanted to make New York his base. However, I sometimes wonder whether things would have been better for him if he had built Electric Lady in London and remained primarily there. Anyway, this is another excellent instalment. It was enlightening to hear both Noel's and Mitch's reminiscences. The crowning glory was to be found in Jimi's own words, though. Thank you, as ever, for all your time and effort. I send you best wishes for the continuation of this amazing series.

We bought tickets at the door, $5.50 at Philadelphia Spectrum. Concert was on a rotating round stage in middle of venue. Floor seats not far at all from stage. Jimi came with his guitar strapped on out thru a tunnel surrounded by police. Fat Mattress did open the show. Long ago!

Thanks for another great episode. This is like a peek behind the curtain into Jimi's daily life and I love the reviews and details of the concerts.

Thanks, I enjoy getting this level of detail, and all these photos were new to me.

As least he was apologetic.

Excellent episode Belly button window! Wondering how long Mitch used that particular drum kit. Looks cool. I’ll have to listen to any recordings that may exist of this period again! 🙏

What extra do you get if you buy an episode

People expected him to look the same way as he was in 1966.

He cut his hair and looked
different.

I actually liked the snippet of Walter H. Nagel's (sp?) review, " Jimi Hendrix fights with his love lady ". It was a bit poetic prose if you will. I'd love to read the rest of the review, but i can't find it anywhere. 😟

Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day also today is my friends birthday ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊

The egos of some band mates don't surprise me, being a musician for most of my life, I've been through this, all I wanted was the band to be a team, ( AS THERE IS NO "I" IN TEAM"), I never put my ego in the mist. Nevertheless nothing last forever, thanks belly button window!!!!!!!

After all of that beautiful prose, describing a scene that happened , some 60 or so Years ago, knowing some writer today would probably just say...😎..!

I wish I’d seen him at the Dorton arena mentioned here. I’ve been there many times. Very poor venue for a concert. Saw Black Sabbath and 3 dog night there in 72. BUT, I’d traded those in a second to have seen Hendrix there! Just sayin

Unfinished work is a clear sign of professional burnout.....going too many directions at once.

I wonder if the creator of this fine series, will be quoting my extensive review of Jimi in Seattle 23 May 1969. He seems to quote Univibes Magazine a lot, and my review is in issue #45.

This series is sooooo deep....
It's the Hendrix time machine !!

i can’t wait for them to talk about billy cox

I'm following all of these very closely. This episode is well written and has insight on the interpersonal interaction with great clarity. Thank you for your historical research. It is really important.
