Concert (60 minutes)
↪ Polydor released their ‘Hey Joe’/’Stone Free’ 45 this day.
↪ London - JHE photo session (possibly with Dezo Hoffman).
↪ The JHE’s TV debut was slightly after 18:00 that evening on RSG!
Noel: “We met at Chas’ on the 16th to watch ourselves on TV, It was just as nerve wracking watching it as doing it. Jimi and I had never seen ourselves on telly before. Chas was well used to it, but we were his baby and this show could make or break us. It certainly went down well enough to pack the Chislehurst Caves gig. Chas was so jumpy about carrying our fee that when a guy suddenly appeared to say he’d liked the gig, Chas thought he was a robber and flattened him with a punch.”

🎊 London
↪ Rehearsals (Jimi and Noel only, as Mitch didn’t show up).
Noel: "Jimi and I messed around... Mitch was Mitch even then - crazy!! As late as November 16, when Mitch didn't show for a rehearsal, we went around to see John Banks”.
↪ Olympic Sound Studios, Jimi (at Brian Jones’ invitation) went along to the studio to watch the Rolling Stones record 'Ruby Tuesday.' Ironically, Keith Richards states in his autobiography that "Ruby Tuesday" was none other than Linda Keith.
1967.
🎊 London, "Round House", Chalk Farm Road
Photocall with David Montgomery in the afternoon. At some stage during the session Montgomery placed Jimi in front of a wall with a bonfire. The smoky result was used for the inside LP cover (European releases only) of Electric Ladyland.
David Montgomery (photographer): It was actually pretty hairy. We poured a line of petrol about 15ft across and we lit it. He was standing in front of it - he could have had his head blown off. The flames go up about 15ft high.
