JIMI HENDRIX - NOV & DEC 1966 - EPISODE 4 This episode covers the following: GERRY STICKELLS - (I had to get them to the right airport, then the right continent, the right venue, on time, and put them on stage. Then see that they sleep as well as checking to see that they don’t go to bed with the wrong girls) CHAS TOTALLY PROTECTED JIMI (As much as anyone could say they ‘knew’ Jimi Hendrix, Chas probably got to know him better than most) JIMI’S RECORD COLLECTION (Jimi mainly was playing the blues numbers he would buy whenever he had any spare money, from artists like Elmore James, Muddy Waters and Lightnin’ Hopkins) APPEARING ON TELEVISION – READY, STEADY, GO (On 13 December 196], only two months to the day since our first gig, Hendrix filmed his first TV, the last Ready, Steady, Go show) LITTLE RICHARD IN LONDON (Hendrix discovered that Little Richard was staying at the Rembrandt Hotel in Knightsbridge and went around to see him after a gig) JIMI’S FIRST CALL HOME (Jimi made his first call home to Al to tell him about his good fortune. Unfortunately, this did not quite work out as Jimi had hoped) THE FIRST SINGLE – HEY JOE/STONE FREE (Their name quickly established in London, Chandler immediately took the Experience back into the studio to finish “Hey Joe.”) STONE FREE (“Stone Free,” was the first glimpse at Hendrix’s potential as a composer) CHASING THE RECORD DEAL (He took it to Decca, one of the companies he had been talking to. The A&R , man there turned it down flatly, adding that he did not think that Jimi had anything special) BLAISES CLUB GIG (After the show, Hendrix, Mitchell and Redding were swamped by the likes of Paul McCartney, John Lennon and Brian Jones) PURPLE HAZE ( Chandler refutes suggestions that Hendrix was under the influence of LSD at the time, deflating a much perpetuated myth that “Haze” came as a result of some “Purple” psychedelic potion) CHAS'S DETERMINATION PAID OFF (Chas’s intuition had been right and his determination paid off) #jimihendrix endrix #jimihendrixexperience #noelredding #mitchmitchell #celebrity #JanisJoplin #brianjones #jimihendrixlive #heyjoe #purplehaze #likearollingstone #voodoo #voodoochild #voodoochile #rockmusic #wildthing #montereypopfestival #monterey #beatles #sgtpepper #hendrix #rock #rockstar #rockmusic #johnnyhalliday #celebrity #celebrities #jeffbeck References: ‘JIMI HENDRIX - STARTING AT ZERO’ By Leon Hendrix, Bloomsbury 2013 ‘Jimi Hendrix – Electric Gypsy’ by Harry Shapiro & Caesar Glebbeek, Heinemann, 1990. ‘Hendrix – Setting the Record Straight’ By John McDermott with Eddie Kramer, Warner Books, 1992. ‘THROUGH GYPSY EYES – My Life, The 60s, and Jimi Hendrix’ by Kathy Etchingham, Orion, 1998. ‘Are You Experienced? – The inside story of the Jimi Hendrix Experience’ by Noel Redding and Carol Appleby, Fourth Estate Ltd, 1990. ‘Jimi Hendrix – The Inside Story’ By Mitch Mitchell with John Platt, Harmony Books, 1990. ’Scuse Me While I Kiss the Sky - the Life of Jimi Hendrix, by David Henderson, Bantam Edition, October 1981. ‘The Inner Word of Jimi Hendrix’ by Monika Dannemann, Bloomsbury Publishing, 1995. ‘CROSSTOWN TRAFFIC: Jimi Hendrix and post-war pop’ by Charles Shaar Murray, Faber & Faber, 1989.
