Well, it's gettin' on towards Last Call buckaroos. Kathy (and anyone else who has some Klennex), you can see my video of the Missing Man Table Ceremony at my
Veteran's Mental Health Council of Salisbury page on Facebook.
Now ... as promised:
Introduction (Live at the Hollywood Bowl, September 14, 1968)
~ The Jimi Hendrix Experience ~
Are You Experienced?
~ The Jimi Hendrix Experience ~
Voodoo Child (Slight Return)
~ The Jimi Hendrix Experience ~
Red House
~ The Jimi Hendrix Experience ~
Jimi had grown very tired of performing his "hits", but was contractually bound to perform them by both promoters and the record company. However, he felt he had no obligation to play them complete, at a normal tempo or at a volume that could be long endured by human ears. To Jimi, tunes like Foxey Lady, Fire, Purple Haze and Hey Joe had become stale and at this particularly arduous performance with tuning issues, the audience splashing the band from the "reflecting pool" exposing them to electrocution and perhaps sheer fatigue from 3 years of constant touring and recording - he raced through the remainder of the set letting Mitch and Noel sing, skipping verses and occasionally dropping out completely.
By the time he begins his beloved "Little Wing" his guitar is wet from the pool and heated under the lights, therefore miserably and hopelessly out of tune, yet, after a shaky false start he somehow manages to bend most notes into tune before giving up on it entirely. His increasing frustration with the audience is apparent and his signature "Star Spangled Banner" is an absolute train wreck. When Jimi segues into "Purple Haze", it's at such distorted volume as his soaked amplifiers blow up that even Eddie Kramer's God-given skills and state-of-the-art remixing gear 5 decades later can't repair the mess. It's a shame, but, it's an accurate portrait of Jimi on that single night, warts and all. I can understand why Eddie chose that gig for the 50th Anniversary package. IMHO, everyone, including his fans, was taking a piece of Jimi - and there just wasn't enough to go around.

How cool that you were able to have a missing man table ceremony.
And thanks for the tribute to Jimi Hendrix. ((HUGS to the family))
Hope to see you more often. You are missed.

Fantastic pictures. It must have been quite moving to be a part of putting it together.
So glad you were able to visit.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
Good night and sleep well, Drumbo. Thanks for playing the tunes for our troops. And thanks for your service to our country. You and Mike and Titan are in my prayers.
