Video Captures from
Jimi Hendrix Plays Monterey Pop Festival 1967
Hendrix Fans - FYI
Did you know that the song THIRD STONE FROM THE SUN on Hendrix 1st
album has a secret message at the beginning of the song. We used a 78
rpm record player back in the old days to hear it, but I have sped it up
for you.
Just click

Unfortunately I was only 16 years old and was not taking
photos yet.
What a bummer !!!

Check this out
I attended the Hendrix concert at
Baltimore. I made a video slide show using 4 photos I had from
the concert, plus the original newspaper ad (wish I still had
the stub).
I lived in Virginia 1969 to 1971
and saw other great concerts such as Blind Faith, Derek and the
Dominoes, Ten Years After, John Mayall, Stones etc.

Stubs from other shows I saw
Hendrix March 10, 1968 Hilton Hotel Ballroom, Washington
DC. I recently got an e-mail from Vince F. who is the guy I went to
that and many other shows with including the Beatles.
Hey BR,
The Beatles sound was pretty primitive, but it was a blast to be there.
I also remember us attending the
Hendrix Concert at the Hilton. Afterwards,
as we were standing on Florida Avenue, Hendrix's limousine pulled up and
the
window came down. You asked if he would give you something -- anything.
He
gave you his (still lit) cigarette. Did you save the butt? Did you have
it
preserved in any way?
VF Here is the whole story. When we arrived
at the Hilton we saw Hendrix come out a side door and get into the Limo.
There were two shows and the first had just ended. We decided that after the
2nd show we would get back to this door quick so we could get an autograph.
Sure enough he came out the same door. I tried to grab his hat. ( it was the
same hat you see in photos from that period with buttons and patches all
over it.) They kept moving and jumped in the Limo. It took off around the
corner and we thought that was that but as we walked around the corner the
Limo was waiting at the red light. I ran up to his window and knocked on it.
He rolled it down and I said " give me your hat" Hendrix said " man-I cant
give this hat up" I said well give me something. They looked around for
something to give me and Mitch said give him your cigarette. He did, the
light turned green and off they went.
Pretty cool experience for a 16 year old rock and roller.
It was a Salem 100 and I kept it in a baggie for many years but alas, It got
lost in the shuffle of my life. Buy the way - this was the same door that
Pres. Reagan came out of and was shot. He had just given a speech in the
same Hilton ballroom.

Merriweather Post Pavilion
Merriweather Post Pavilion ( MPP) was one of my favorite places to see
concerts.
It is an open air arena with a roof but no sides. On May 25th
1969 I saw The Who do an incredible show there. They destroyed all there
equipment at the end of the show, It was great . The opening act was a band
with there first album out — Led Zeppelin.
Hendrix was the Man, We all wanted to see him again. The first time was at
the Washington Hilton Ballroom in D.C. on 3/10/68.
The day of the show at MPP was cloudy and are seats were on the “grass”.
This was the area behind the seats were the roof ended but there was plenty
of space for blankets and people just sitting on the ground. Remember it’s
an amphitheater on a big hill.
About half way into the show the rain started. Everyone rushed up to the
covered part
and they let us in (as best they could). Jimi was saying “let them in”
“Rainy Day, dream Away” and when the thunder started he started playing back
to it with some feedback. It was great. He was just playing with the
lightening and thunder.
It was incredible !!!
