🚗 1968.
'Monsterkonzert' - Hallenstadion, Zurich, Switzerland, JHE

Mitch and Noel are joined by nearly forty British musicians, including the Move, Traffic, John Mayall, and Eric Burdon on a charter flight from Heathrow to Kloten airport in Zurich, Switzerland. Upon arrival the bands take part in an afternoon press reception. Jimi arrives later in the afternoon, after flying to Zurich from New York. This grand event, dubbed Pop-Montserkonzert was to feature two successive nights of performances at the Hallenstadion in Zurich, Switzerland. Each night kicked off with a fashion show by local boutique, Bernie’s. Once the fashions were put aside, a series of bands – one after the other – took to the stage, including: Anselmo Trend, Sauterelles, Hardy Hepp, the Koobas, John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Traffic, the Move, Eric Burdon and the New Animals, and the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

🚗 1969.
Waikiki Shell, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii With Fat Mattress
Concert
The Experience perform at Waikiki Shell in Honolulu. Due to technical problems with some of their amplifiers, the performance ends after only thirty minutes. To placate the audience, promoters quickly agree to invite them back the following night or provided a refund. Prior to the performance, Ben Wood of the Hollywood Star-Bulletin interviewed Jimi for the May 31 edition.

🚗 1970.
Berkeley Community Theatre, 1930 Allston Way, California, USA, JHE (II)
Concert
Back on the West Coast, The Experience was booked into the Berkeley Community Theater in Berkeley, CA by famed promoter Bill Graham. The quaint theater, housing close to 3,400 fans were witness to two sets by The Experience (both professionally filmed). In readying themselves for the evening performance, The Experience took part in an extended rehearsal/soundcheck. Jimi is photographed during the first of two performances at the Berkeley Community Theatre in Berkeley, California on May 30, 1970. Portions of these two performances were later included in the film Jimi Plays Berkeley.
