1968.
🍀 An appearance by The Experience on the Ed Sullivan Show was proposed by Sullivan’s son-in-law, Bob Precht; unfortunately, the event was snubbed before ever making it off the ground. In John McDermott’s “Hendrix: Setting The Record Straight,” Bob Levine recalls, “Sullivan Productions really wanted to have Jimi on. Ed Sullivan had to get him one way or another, so Sullivan, Precht, Jeffrey and I sat down to talk. Sullivan wanted to have the Vienna Ballet dance to his music, with Hendrix in front of a big orchestra, done on location in Europe. Jeffrey figured out the money he would need and agreed to the concept verbally. He left the meeting to speak to somebody - I don’t know who - and when, a day or so later, I told him he was supposed to follow up with Bob Precht her replied, ‘We aren’t going to do it.’ I asked if he had spoken to Jimi and he said, ‘No, I am not going to let Hendrix do that. I’ve got my reasons.’ Jimi would have loved to have done it.”

1969.
🍀 Record Plant, NYC Recordings: Shame, Shame, Shame // Lonely Avenue

↪ Jimi fails to appear at a previous scheduled meeting with his attorney Henry Steingarten where an update of Jimi’s broadening financial burdens were to be discussed. In a letter, dated Nov 11, 1969, Steingarten sent an outline of Jimi’s mounting debt and unfulfilled commitments to him.
