🌰 May, 17

🌰 1967.
London, ‘Late Night Line Up’, BBC Television Centre, JHE
Recording from 17 April, broadcast on BBC 2 TV between 23:00 & 24:00.
Unfortunately the film was treated with ‘psychedelic effects’ by some students, which probably looked ‘groovy’ in color, but only a B&W print survives, which ruins it, most of it just appears almost black with patches of negative.

🌰 1968.
Record Plant, New York City, New York, USA
Jimi Hendrix (Mitch and Noel could very well have been present)
This session consisted of mix-downs and overdubs to Gypsy Eyes.

🌰 1969.
Providence, Rhode Island Auditorium Arena, USA, JHE
Concert at 19:30.
Support: Buddy Miles Express; Cat Mother And The All Night Newsboys.
Audience: 1,000+ (capacity: 3,500).

Noel: “The gig in Providence was very good. And it took us 4 hours to get home from that one.”

🌰 1970.
No News...
