1969.
๐Ÿญ Honolulu. ­ Jimi goes on a shopping spree in the morning, buying some things in "The Wizard" clothing store and some cassettes from "Records Hawaii."

Mike Kelly (shop owner, Records Hawaii): "We were the first free-standing record store in Honolulu (we opened on 8 November 1968), on Kapiolani Boulevard... The story really isn't exciting other than the fact that we were selling cassettes at that time, 4-tracks, 8-tracks, reel-to-reel, and albums. So we had all of those different configurations of albums.

And Jimi came in by himself, and everybody else recognised him. He was just thumbing through, looking at cassettes. And I thought that it was odd that he would purchase his own cassettes. He was kind of leaning on the counter looking at the cassettes and once in awhile I was looking over there (we didn't bother him too much), but he seemed to nod out once in a while. [Laughs] No, he wasn't really with it! And who knows if it was drug induced, lack of sleep, or what it was."

๐ŸญThe JHE fly from Honolulu International Airport (departing at 23:45) to Los Angeles, California. Noel then flies on to New York, and after a short break in town, catches yet another flight, this time to London, England. Eric Dillon (drummer, Fat Mattress) gets thrown off the flight for being drunk.

Accommodation (Jimi only): "Beverly Rodeo Hyatt House," 360 North Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, California.

1970.
