The Sun-Telegram ‘7300 Fans Set a New Attendance Record’ – review by Tom Green: “Jimi broke things up at San Bernardino’s Swing Auditorium on Saturday night - figuratively and literally. The thing that got broken most resoundingly was the Swing’s attendance record. Hendrix pulled in 7,300 music fans and that shattered the old mark of 7100 which belonged to Creedence Clearwater Revival. Of course a door got broken, too, because there were dozens more outside who couldn’t get in because of the sold-out sign. Police had to be called with tear gas to get those unhappy people dispersed. No problems were reported inside though. The show got going at about 8 p.m. and wound up at about 10:45 p.m., which was obviously a surprise to some fans who thought it would go on until midnight and arrived, therefore, after it was over. Hendrix is quite an entertainer. As simple as that. But the fans seemed to detect a bit of boredom.”
