🍓 1968.
Jimi and Noel are interviewed on-air by Chuck Dunaway at WKYC in Cleveland. They also answer questions from callers. Jimi, known for his love of fast cars, buys a blue Corvette Stingray at Blaushild Chevrolet in Cleveland. In an interview with John McDermott, Leon Dicker (attorney & US representative for Yameta, the Animals’ parent company), recalls “I knew he didn’t have a driver’s license… He drove it once – down a one-way street. He was cited for that, as well as not having a driving license. The next day, Jimi left for Indiana, and Michael Jeffery had the car shipped to New York.”

That night, the band plays two shows at The Public Music Hall.
Songs:
Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 💦 Fire 💦 I Don't Live Today 💦 Red House 💦 Foxy Lady 💦 Spanish Castle Magic 💦 Manic Depression 💦 Purple Haze 💦 Wild Thing

Noel recalls the evening was marred by “a very real bomb scare at the hall,” which reportedly delayed the second show for a while. Jimi is interviewed by Dick Wootten for The Cleveland Press (March 27); The Plain Dealer Sunday Magazine (April 28); and Bruno Bornino for The Cleveland Press (March 29). During the interview with Bornino, Jimi gives him a string of love beads.
