Supporting The Walker Brothers, Cat Stevens and Engelbert Humperdinck With: The Californians, The Quotations Songs: unknown Mitch: “Cat Stevens became a real snot, so on the matinee of the last show, when he was doing his hit ‘I’m Gonna Get Me A Gun’, I placed this mechanical robot, which I’d bought, on stage. It’s chest opened up and all these little machine guns started blazing away. He tried to kick it off stage, but the thing refused to die. He didn’t take the joke too well. Anyway I retrieved it and put it on stage for The Walkers, when Scott was singing, ‘My Ship Is Coming In.’ He took it a lot better.” It is likely that Alec Byrne's photo series is April 30th END OF THE FIRST ENGLISH TOUR https://www.rockarchive.com/news/2017/jimi-hendrix-every-picture-tells-a-story#.WJj9vJ6fPuk.facebook

When the tour coach approached the stage door a young girl running alongside with the fans had her foot run over by the coach and was taken to hospital.
Roger Mayer: “We were at The Speakeasy club in London one Friday until about six or seven in the morning. As I was leaving, I asked Jimi where he was going to be playing that night. He replied Bournemouth and asked if I was going to come along. I said no, I was going to miss it and that I would see him again at The Speakeasy later. About four that afternoon, I got a phone call from Jimi, “Where the hell are you?” I asked. “At the flat in London!” “What the hell are you doing there?” He said, “I’m a bit late for the gig tonight.” So I drove him to Bournemouth in my white midget MG hard top sports car. There was a crowd of people by the backstage door; I drove through them so that the passenger door was about six feet from the backstage entrance. Security came over and got Jimi inside. I didn’t park my car far enough away though - being white it was pretty distinctive - and after the gig, though Mitch was taking Jimi back, there was ‘I love Jimi’ in red lipstick all over it. The windscreen wipers were stolen, the petrol cap, the little nuts of the windows, all of this type of nonsense. I started her up and drove to the stage door, where Jimi asked me what happened. I said, ‘I don’t know. They’re your fans!’ We had to drive a few miles to a petrol station, without wipers to clear the lipstick smeared windscreen, and when we filled up, Jimi and I cleaned the lipstick off and drove on to The Speakeasy.”

Los Angeles Times: “.....Wearing a multi-coloured head band and tight black leather pants, Jimi drew an enormous opening response from the audience as he went through such early hits as “Foxy Lady.” The newer material generated less enthusiasm. As always, Jimi was more a personality than a musician. Though his voice and lyrics have few distinguishing characteristics, he generates a charge of electricity that virtually ignites the huge arena. Jimi is a powerhouse of sex and sound. Hendrix does with his guitar what Joe Cocker does with his voice: reaches new levels of communication and emotion, levels far beyond that which most guitarists and vocalists once felt were possible. On Saturday, he seemed freer of gimmicks, more serious of purpose generally, than last spring at the Devonshire Downs Pop Festival in Northridge. Because of this, perhaps, the audience Saturday was less enthusiastic at times than at Devonshire Downs. But his bombing raid version of the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ and ‘Purple Haze’ brought the audience to its feet for an ovation that lasted several minutes.”
