1967.
🎸 London
↪ Dunstable, California Ballroom, Whipsnade Road, Bedfordshire, England, JHE
Concert (50 minutes between 20.00 and 24.00).
Support: Modes Mode; Canal Street Philharmonic.
Noel: "We were done by 11:00 pm. so I nipped back to London, picked up Chas and headed for the studio."
“A much bigger problem was boredom. Since we could no longer go out and cool off between shows, we had no option but to sit around in dressing rooms with nothing to do but get smashed. In Dunstable, you weren’t even allowed to drink. Just what was one supposed to do, sitting on a wooden bench breathing the stale air in an eight-by-ten- foot windowless box with wall-to-wall hangers-on? You might have one horrid toilet and/or basin with a cold tap (dripping). You’d certainly have peeling paint speckled with graffiti and who knows what else, cracked concrete floors with antique cigarette butts, and a ceiling cascading with condensation.”
↪ "Olympic Sound Studios"
Studio recordings (until 06.30 the next morning) for "Spanish Castle Magic" and "Little Wing".
1968.
🎸 Los Angeles, TTG Studios, 1441 North McCadden Place, Hollywood, CA
*Noel: “Recording. Jimi meets some more phantom robbers and losses two of his guitars. So here's some bad vibes to you on Jimi's behalf."
John Carpenter (columnist): “Jimi Hendrix is in town recording! Monday night someone stole two guitars from his station wagon parked outside; later on others stole two more from his Benedict Canyon digs. One of the guitars was especially made, had a great deal of sentimental value, and was worth a lot to him. No questions asked if you can get them to he who uses them so well. Please contact me at the Free Press if you know what's happening"
