↪ Flying from Ringway Airport, Manchester, to Aldergrove Airport, Belfast, Northern Ireland. Apparently Jimi's management had asked for the JHE to be picked up in a white American limo, but the best the 'Festival Of Arts' people could come up with was a black Humber!
Accommodation: "Grand Central Hotel", Royal Avenue, Belfast.
↪ 'Festival Of Arts'/"Whitla Hall"/"Queens College", University Road, Belfast
Concert (two shows - 19.00 and 21.15).
Offstage, Jimi is incongruously mild, affable and unassuming. He sat in the dressing room, temporarily detached from the bevy of road-managers, and munched birthday cake. He constantly strummed a guitar covered in psychedelic patterns.

Studio recordings for "Castles Made Of Sand, "EXP", and "Spanish Castle Magic".
Jimi: “On ‘Spanish Castle Magic’ we used a guitar, bass, and drums and piano and a lot of things are in unison. Noel uses an eight-string bass plus I was playing the same thing on guitar. It didn’t come out as clear as we wanted but it was a hint of what we’re trying to do.”
Noel: Recording – night session. Used Haagstrom 8-string

🍯 The Experience return to the Record Plant to put the finishing touches on their forthcoming release, Electric Ladyland. Work on “Gypsy Eyes” on this night focused on the flanging effects, which had studio engineers Eddie Kramer and Gary Kellgren physically putting pressure on the flange reel of the tape deck during recording. While Hendrix and Kramer labored over the master tape for Electric Ladyland, Kallgren, Mitchell and Redding recorded twelve-takes of Redding’s own composition, “How Can I Live,” which later appeared on the debut release for Redding’s new band, Fat Mattress. With only one more track required to complete the album, the group turned to Earl King’s “Come On (Part One)” to fill the final track. After fourteen takes, the final take was selected as the basic track for the album. Electric Ladyland was now complete.

Jenry Simon: I was approached with the request that my company sell them the seven master tapes which I had previously acquired from PPX. They informed me that the purpose of the proposed acquisition of the tapes by them was that Knight was about to enter into an exclusive recording agreement, and both of them desired that there be no competing recordings of Curtis Knight issued.

❇ Los Angeles - JHE attend a private viewing of the Monterey film
❇ Jamming at Steve Stills' house in Malibu.
Stephen Stills: It was a pretty eclectic bunch—(South African trumpeter) Hugh Masekela, Buddy Miles and Bruce Palmer. Brucey was around my house all the time because he was the bass player in Buffalo Springfield, and Hughie would show up now and then. We went through two sets of players that night, me and Jimi, because we kept going. We played to one dawn, through the morning and next day, all the way into the next dawn.
Doug Hastings (Buffalo Springfield): I did a jam one afternoon at the Malibu house with Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Miles, David Crosby and Stephen Stills. I think Stephen played bass. It was the four of us playing in one part of the room, and Jimi playing about 15 feet away from us, off in a corner with his back to us. We probably played for a couple of hours. Buddy sang and Jimi sat, off in the corner, playing his wah-wah pedal.

Jimi flies to Honolulu International Airport, Honolulu, Island of Oahu.
Accommodation: "Otani" house, Diamond Head, Honolulu.
Tom Moffatt: "I remember that Jimi's guys came in a day before he did, and they took all the good rooms. And he got the worst of the rooms. But he was very gracious, you know; he wasn't like some acts would be. I just remember being around the house once in awhile. They were really digging it because it was something different for them as they used to stay in hotel rooms. It had a pool; it was quite private. There was a little hut for the maids, and that's where Jimi ended up!"
🍯 1970.
Partnering with the Memorial Day Long Weekend release of Woodstock – The Motion Picture, Cotillion Records released the triple-LP set Woodstock (SD350) that featured Hendrix’s live medley of “Star Spangled Banner / Purple Haze / Instrumental Solo.” The collection became an instant classic, entering the Billboard charts at #4 before peaking at the top of the charts, where it sat untouched for a four-week period.
