Chas: “The kids were crammed on the stage, sitting in front of the stage, and there was a very officious New York cop who gets up and walks up to the microphone and says, ‘Have you seen the notices in this ball? There’s no smoking in this auditorium. If I see one more cigarette I’ll close this show and throw everybody out.’

Hearing news that Kathy Etchingham had just married, Jimi calls her in London to confirm the account. “I hadn’t heard from Jimi for a while and apparently he was having problems,” explained in her book Through Gypsy Eyes. “He had a disastrous gig at Madison Square Gardens and walked off-stage. Around this time someone must have told him about me getting married to Ray. Jimi ran to find out if it was true.” 💔
