๐Ÿ”† October, 15


1966.
๐Ÿ‰ Salle Des Fรชtes, Villerupt, Concert
Near Luxembourg, 2 1/2 hours drive from Nancy. Same line-up as the 13th. This time the group played 25 minutes and did six songs, Jimi breaking a string after the 4th.

Noel: “After our Luxembourg gig we had a day off to look forward to. We got drunk together after the show and at half twelve we crawled into the coach, set off and promptly ran out of petrol. Was it cold! Mitch grabbed Chas’ raincoat for himself and went to sleep. Chas, Jimi and I huddled together and tried to keep from freezing through the long, long night.”

↪ Around this date Jimmy becomes Jimi, which was a suggestion from Chas.
His name was already spelt "Jimi" in the 15 October edition of L'Est Republicain newspaper's review of the Hallyday show:
"....and Jimi Hendrix heading his own band."
