🌰 January, 17

1967.

🌺 The Jimi Hendrix Experience reportedly prepare recordings for Radio Luxembourg’s Ready Steady Radio! program at Tiles in London. The session never airs.

🌺 London W1, Tiles Club, 79-89 Oxford Street - Live Radio Luxembourg radio show for Ready, Steady, Radio! (between 19:00 and 23:30).

🌺 It appears that the show was not transmitted. The JHE ran up a bar bill of £2.25 which they couldn't pay.

🌺 Noel Redding: We were virtually broke... After a British radio appearance on January 17, we ran up a bar bill of £2.25; even pooling our money we couldn't pay it.

🌺 London W1, Seven And A Half Club – Concert (60 minutes).

1968.

🌺 Jimi with roadie Gerry Stickells and Chas Chandler fly from Torslanda Airport, Göteborg, Sweden, to London Heathrow Airport, Middlesex, England.

1969.

🌺 Jarhunderthalle Frankfurt, Germany. Two Shows with Eire Apparent.

As there are lots of soldiers in the audience, Jimi includes snippets of “Reveille” and the “Last Post” during the performance. Jimi starts by explaining to the audience that much of the show will be "free-jam" oriented. A high-energy "Come On" starts things off right. Even Hendrix says it was "outtasight". Later in the set is an almost 11 minute "Red House" from the "first English LP". A tasty wah-wah segment caps off a very pretty "Little Wing". Jimi reminds the crowd that the JHE does not play Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love" "BETTER than them......we dig the group and we dig the cats". Interestingly this version ends with an instrumental flourish and feedback rather than the usual way the band ended it. Before "Hey Joe" Jimi introduces Mitch Mitchell, Noel Redding and himself on "backward tapes". "Purple Haze" begins immediately on the heels of "Hey Joe".

1970.

🌺 Record Plant, NYC. A Mixing session with Eddie Kramer.

🌺 Late January (17th-25th) date unknown:

Mike Jeffrey tells Hendrix to fire Buddy Miles and re form the Experience

Bob Levine: "There was rage in Jeffrey's eyes. He faced Hendrix down and thrust his contract at him, imploring him to tear it up. This wasn't the first time he had threatened to walk or all of Hendrix talk of changing management, he never took Jeffrey up on his offer. Privately Hendrix would say, "The devil you know is better than the devil you don't".
