🌵 London; JHE rehearsals (14:00-17:30)

Noel went to the office in the morning, and this time was given a meal. Then he went to the Birdland, and had a blow with Eric, and later went to rehearsals.

Chas: “Jimi got on well with Noel but used to criticize his playing. It was a love-hate relationship.”

1967.
🌵 The Wellington Club, Norfolk, Dereham. Concert (40 minutes)
Support: The Flower People, The Rubber Band.

Malcolm Hunt: “Yes I remember those nights very well, saw Cream and Pink Floyd, Cat Stevens, Small Faces, The Herd and many more, but Jimi was superb, tripping out of his head.”

Ian Vargeson: "I saw the Jimi Hendrix Experience at Dereham, I remember Jimi getting bored in the middle of one song and starting another and also damaging the ceiling with his guitar; but again we went home appreciating that we’d seen something special."
