Brad Robinson (fan, reporter): “Jimi’s introduction: ‘Hello, how are you all doing, you’re okay?...I want you to forget about everything that’s happening today or tomorrow or yesterday; this is our own little world right here for about an hour and a half, okay? And let’s treat it as such.’ And it was our own world. And very few people there knew until the following morning that a couple of hours before ‘our world,’ Hendrix had been busted for possession of narcotics, by ‘their world.”
