💣 December, 13


1966.
💣 Wembley, “Studio One”, Middlesex, TV recordings for “Ready, Steady, Go!”.

Noel: “Then on 13 December, only two months to the day since our first gig, we filmed our first TV, the last Ready, Steady, Go show. It featured the Mersey’s (two original Merseybeats, Tony Crane and Billy Kingsley), the Troggs and Keith Relf (lead singer of the original Yardbirds). Mitch had acted on telly before, but Jimi only had limited TV experience and I had none. We were extremely nervous, and in those days you played LIVE. You arrived at ten in the morning and rehearsed, returned at three for another run-through and did it live at seven. The hard part was staying sober all the boring day.
[...] I think we just played ‘Hey Joe’. Right before the show my stage clothes were nicked from the van. Chas was probably happy. He hated my pink jeans. We dashed out and he bought me trousers and a terribly conservative striped jumper, for which he then billed me. We often finished the night at the Bag O’Nails because we could get in free. The £1.00 admission price would have been hard to come by.”

↪ London, “CBS Studios”, JHE studio recordings (three songs in three hours).

1967.
💣 London, “Olympic Sound Studios”, Studio recordings. Linda Keith, who was in a bad state according to Noel, attends the session.
