๐ 1968.
'1968 Pop Festival', Gulfstream Race Track, Hallandale, Florida, USA
Whole day cancelled.
Eddie: “The second night it got totally swamped out, I mean it rained in buckets and the whole show was cancelled. And I remember I got in the limo with Jimi and Mitch and Jimi was furiously scribbling in the back of the limo. I glanced over, I could see, ‘Rainy day dream away’.”
Mitch: “We were looking forward to the second show at 7.30, or something like that. Suddenly one of those huge thunderstorms appeared, the sort you only get down there and the second show was cancelled - rain stopped play.”
Michael Laing: “There was a drought in, in-eh that whole part of Florida, which had gone on for about a month. And I guess some time the night before the show they sent some ‘planes out to seed the clouds over the Everglades, and it worked-heh.”
Miami, The Wreck Bar, The Castaways Hotel, Hallandale, FL, USA
Early hours Jam session with: Jimi - guitar, Noel Redding - bass? Frank Zappa - guitar, Jimmy Carl Black and Arthur Brown.
Frank Zappa also acquired the remains of the burnt Astoria guitar from Jimi’s ex-roady ‘H’ at some point after Miami.
Songs: unknown
Jimi played a red, left-handed Guild SF-V Starfire Deluxe guitar with a Bigsby Vibrato unit manufactured around 1966 it was custom-painted by an unknown guitarist, who gave the guitar as a present to Jimi during the jam session.
Mitch: “We'd all psyched ourselves up to play, so several of the people on the bill, including us, went off to find somewhere else. We ended up in this little hotel on the beach called Castaways with, among other people, Frank Zappa and Arthur Brown singing.”
Noel: “When the second day’s show was rained out, Jimi and I headed to the hotel for a jam and general craziness with Arthur Brown, Steve Paul the Mothers of Invention and Blue Cheer. That was coming to be the pattern - fight, get smashed and make up and be friends, but that’s a kind of relationship which can’t go on for ever.”
Frank Zappa: “... and there was a jam session in Miami.”
Trixie Sullivan: “They had a jam session that night. Who else was there, oh, John Lee Hooker, Frank Zappa - it was absolutely incredible...”
