Noel:
“Bad crowd. Now it began to get crazy. We’d get ambushed and -mauled going to gigs. Girls in the audience would scream our names louder than we could play our songs. Mobbed! Jimi lost hair and Mitch nearly lost his leg. Stopping in a club, we saw Jayne Mansfield. This cheered us up, until she left with Engelbert. We took a couple of pills and headed for the hotel. But we couldn’t remember which one the tour was booked into, and no other hotel would take us. At five in the morning we gave up and crashed in a B&B. Next day we discovered everyone else just around the corner. Was it the banana skins we’d smoked? I sort of doubt it.”

🔆 1968.
Jimi Hendrix, BB King and Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Generation Club NYC.
Note: The Jam at the club generation, New York City, NYC from 07.04.68 with the participation of Roy Buchanan would be a mistake. Jimi Hendrix, BB King and Buddy Guy, at the end of the blues night, raise funds for the King'S Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Jimi, who had always refused to participate in social and political initiatives, donated $ 5,000.
