Ian Perks (fan): “He was absolutely sensational - it was one of those 'once in a lifetime' experiences. The way that guitar was played was just phenomenal, and the atmosphere. I'd seen other shows at the Gaumont - what I'd class a teenybopper type shows - but to experience the whole (Hendrix) thing was unreal.
He was my idol, and what actually happened was on the afternoon of the concert I went to buy the album "Are Your Experienced", and then while we were walking through Boots, Jimi actually tapped me on the shoulder and signed his autograph on the album cover”
Following The Experience’s performance, photographer Vaughan Willcox completes a photo shoot with Jimi backstage at Gaumont.

Neville Chesters: “I remember.. .that was in a big auditorium. The stage was way up in the air on the scaffolding, ten or twelve feet off the ground. But people were trying to get on stage and the reason I remember it is, I nearly broke both of my legs. We had curtains behind, and the stage was built up against the stairs that went up. There were two or three people on stage and I tried to push people off and out of the corner of my eye I saw in the background this gay climbing up this little rail on the back of the stage scaffolding and he picked the toolbox up - which was like everything I ever owned in the world was in this blue toolbox. And he picked it up and ran up the stairs. And I ran across the stage and by this time he jumped (and it was all slow motion because he saw me), I went for him. He hopped over the rail, I heard the crash as I hopped over and it was too late for me to stop, and then I realised we’re twelve feet up and I just plummeted -wham!-on the floor. And of course he’d done that seconds before, unfortunately the toolbox went like that and he ran for it.”
