🌰 April, 17

🌰 1967.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience perform two songs, “Manic Depression” and “Purple Haze” for the BBC Two program Late Night Line-Up. The show airs on May 17th as part of their show “Psychedelic Happening,” which also featured an interview with the band.
Unfortunately, the original tapes from the program were never preserved and all that remains is a copy tape from a later re-broadcast of the program that omitted “Purple Haze.” This source tape was used in 1998 for the inclusion of “Manic Depression” on the acclaimed compilation The Jimi Hendrix Experience: BBC Sessions."

🌰 1968.

Jimi and Mike discuss their studio project. Jimi noted down several possible names for the studio and his production company around this time: ‘Sky Stepping Research of Apollo II studios’, or ‘Rhythm Cake Inc.’ (Electric Temple). Compare with the eventual ‘Heaven Research Unlimited’ and ‘Electric Lady Studios’

[Searching for the “Lullaby For the Summer”, but it is really unreleased.
So i chose this song which is a lullaby for the summer.
The title is misleading: “Janis Joplin Jimi Hendrix Summertime”
