🍯 November, 27


1966.
🍯 Jimi’s 24th birthday.

1967.
🍯 Jimi's 25th birthday.
↪ Flying from Ringway Airport, Manchester, to Aldergrove Airport, Belfast, Northern Ireland. Apparently Jimi's management had asked for the JHE to be picked up in a white American limo, but the best the 'Festival Of Arts' people could come up with was a black Humber!
Accommodation: "Grand Central Hotel", Royal Avenue, Belfast.

↪ 'Festival Of Arts'/"Whitla Hall"/"Queens College", University Road, Belfast
Concert (two shows - 19.00 and 21.15).
Offstage, Jimi is incongruously mild, affable and unassuming. He sat in the dressing room, temporarily detached from the bevy of road-managers, and munched birthday cake. He constantly strummed a guitar covered in psychedelic patterns.

1968.
🍯 Jimi's 26th birthday.

1969.
🍯 Jimi's 27th birthday.
Jimi celebrates his 27th birthday backstage with The Rolling Stones as they perform at Madison Square Garden in New York City. While backstage, Jimi jams with Mick Taylor of The Stones, a jam that is caught on 16mm film. Afterwards, Jimi joins The Stones at Mont Key’s home where they continue Jimi’s birthday celebrations.
