When the tour coach approached the stage door a young girl running alongside with the fans had her foot run over by the coach and was taken to hospital.
Roger Mayer: “We were at The Speakeasy club in London one Friday until about six or seven in the morning. As I was leaving, I asked Jimi where he was going to be playing that night. He replied Bournemouth and asked if I was going to come along. I said no, I was going to miss it and that I would see him again at The Speakeasy later. About four that afternoon, I got a phone call from Jimi, “Where the hell are you?” I asked. “At the flat in London!” “What the hell are you doing there?” He said, “I’m a bit late for the gig tonight.” So I drove him to Bournemouth in my white midget MG hard top sports car. There was a crowd of people by the backstage door; I drove through them so that the passenger door was about six feet from the backstage entrance. Security came over and got Jimi inside. I didn’t park my car far enough away though - being white it was pretty distinctive - and after the gig, though Mitch was taking Jimi back, there was ‘I love Jimi’ in red lipstick all over it. The windscreen wipers were stolen, the petrol cap, the little nuts of the windows, all of this type of nonsense. I started her up and drove to the stage door, where Jimi asked me what happened. I said, ‘I don’t know. They’re your fans!’ We had to drive a few miles to a petrol station, without wipers to clear the lipstick smeared windscreen, and when we filled up, Jimi and I cleaned the lipstick off and drove on to The Speakeasy.”
