I read an article about this just before Live8 and he's living somewhere down south, but doesn't know what planet he's on or what day it is!! Such a shame, life has taken its' toll. Doesn't even answer to Syd......

 

He's living in his mother's house in Cambridge where he's been since the early 70s. I believe his mother has now passed away, so he lives alone, with various people coming in to look after him.

 

It's not simply "life" that has taken its toll on Syd, it's all that LSD he took.

I remember see Hendrix at the City Hall in '67 along with all the other bands mentioned. The thing i remember most is him squirting lighter fluid all over his guitar, a white Fender Strat that i would've killed for, and setting it on fire!

 

The week before the Hendrix concert, there was another one featuring The Who, The Herd and several more bands that i can't quite remember....and all this for about 7/6d.

By the way I have still got both concert programs and the ticket stubbs

I was going to say that I thiught a female solo singer was also on the Hendrix gig called Sharon Tandy (wonder what happened to her), she had a moderate hit out called stay with me baby.

sorry but a lot of years have passed since then. I think that they must have played their first 3 singles and tracks from Piper at the gates of dawn, but I do remember them playing Inerstellar Overdrive.

As for Mason's Inside Out, not got it yet as I am in the middle of reading Joe Cockers Biography. I must write to Santa for it:hihi:

can't recall her, she's not listed in the programme

been trying to find out more about her on the web, but nothing about any tour with Hendrix. I'll keep looking

Copy of my post from guitarist thread.

 

There's a tale about Jimi Hendrix who played at The Troutbeck Hotel in Ilkley in 1967 which is on the Crossbeck Rd road where my son now lives. He had just achieved first success with Hey Joe and 700 people turned up to little more than a pub venue and police shut it down during second song. Hendrix was last seen having fish and chips at Harry Ramsdens in Guiseley. Wish I'd been there. (gig not Harrys)

 

Apparently he played at International in Leeds night before and only about 12 people turned up;

. . . and I was told that The Move blew Hendrix off the stage.

I went to both The Who and Jimi Hendrix shows in '67 and if there was a volume contest, the 3 piece Hendrix Experience won it hands down. Still got ringing in my ears 40+ years later.
