Excerpt from Univibes
The members of the Experience, still half asleep, enter the studio where already a certain effervescence reigns. Producer Ralph Inbor is furious because Jimi and his band arrive one hour late on schedule. There is a band that repeats the so-called "Na-Na" song and Jimi can not laugh anymore. Mitch, in a sarcastic tone, praises Dutch Soul music. Jimi tells Pete Shrรถder of Hinweek that he is happy to be able to play real live in this studio.
At 50 meters away, the dishes rattled American Hotel ... neighbors were complaining that their pottery tumbled. The director of the "Cabaret Lurelei" ran upstairs, panicked and said, "Can you stop this immediately because the ceiling starts to crack?"
By the time the director of the Lurelei had come up, Jimi was jamming on Michel Polnareff's "La Poupรฉe Qui Fait No" (which was one of the other artists to appear in the TV show) and Noel Redding screamed horrible sounds of radio and animals in the microphone.
The laugh quickly disappeared when the technicians tried to lay rubber bands under the Marshall baffles, but even the battery alone seemed "dangerous." Jimi was asked to lower the volume, he replied in the negative, because in doing so he "was going to miss his effect."
Then Inbor tells Jimi he would have to play back instead. When Jimi heard this his reaction was just "let him go .... And he went straight.
