Flying from San Francisco International Airport, California, to Peninsular Airport, Monterey, California.
Keith Altham: We stayed overnight in San Francisco and early next morning set out to find an 'indestructible' guitar for Jimi. 'I need a Fender.' explained Jimi. We failed to get the model Jimi wanted but somehow he later acquired one in Monterey. It was the wrong colour but he remedied that by spraying it white and drawing swirling designs all over it with a felt pen. (New Musical Express, 24 June 1967).
๐ 1968.
Staten Island, DaytopVillage, 450 Bayview Avenue, New York, USA
โDaytop Under The Stars Music Festivalโ โ
Jimi jammed with The Jeff Beck Group.
Songs: unknown
Christopher Hjort (Jeff Beck researcher): โThe Jeff Beck Group were added as a last-minute replacement for the Grateful Dead, who were originally booked for this four-day (outdoors) festival. However, Rod Stewartโs voice was shot so instead Jimi (guitar) filled in for initially both Beck and Stewart, backed by Ron Wood (bass) and Mickey Waller (drums)โ
The Village Voice (20 June) review by Annie Fisher: โAt Daytop he improvised first with Wood and Waller, then Beck wandered onstage, and they jammed long and loose, feeling each other out, bringing off a few really remarkable moments, finally breaking into โFoxy Ladyโ to finish it off. Dynamite!โ
Disc and Music Echo (20 July) interview by unknown:
Jeff Beck: โIโm not really in favour of jamming. But I heard three numbers and just stood there aghast - and then I had to play. So I leap onstage and we all jammed together. Jimi was fantastic, and it sounded as though they approved of my guitar playing!โ
Discoscene (August) review by unknown: โHendrix made a surprise appearanceโฆin Staten Island where Daytop Village, devoted to the rehabilitation of ex-junkies, was putting on a rock festival. The Grateful Dead didnโt show so Hendrix jammed with The Jeff Beck Group, friends since London; crowd didnโt let them off stage until 2 a.m.โ
Jeff Beck: โJimi is the best jam Iโve ever had. Somebody organised the most monster jam of all, not from a status point of view. It really worked out perfectly. It was a concert for reformed drug addicts, but that was the least of it.
They were fantastic people, they just sat for two hours and Jimi played โFoxy Lady.โ He was playing bass and he played a couple of my things. It just went on and on, we were jumping all over the place. Hendrix came to see me at that scene... people used to come for the great battleโ.
Ron Wood: โThen we played a gig in Staten Island and he used to let me take bass solos; Jimi did, โcause he liked the way I played bass".

Back at Electric Lady Jimi records the master takes of โNight Bird Flyingโ and โStraight Ahead.โ Joined by percussionist Juma Sultan these sessions proved to be among his most productive in the post-Electric Ladyland days. He follows these recordings with takes of โBeginnings,โ โFreedomโ and a loose recording simply titled โMessing Around.โ
