40 yrs ago today, the world got "Experienced"

Fond memories of the purple haze, orange sunshine, chocolate chip, window pane... Those were some wonderful vacations.

Still have my original LP of "Are You Experienced," and my concert stub from November 24, 1968 at Miami Beach Convention Hall. Also have the Rolling Stone Hendrix memorial issue October 15, 1970, and a poster from his appearance at the pop festival at Gulfstream Park in May, 1968.
Jimi was the greatest. There was no other like him.
My sister actually saw him when he opened for the Monkees on tour after Monterey Pop.

Interestingly, I mentioned The Jimi Hendrix Experience in the "Best short lived bands" thread and almost nobody second'd the motion. However, some folks did mention Four Non-Blonds, Spinal Tap and The Knack. Go figure......

I can't think of another artist that had so much influence given so little time....

Enjoy,

Glad to see I wasnt the only one who took a minute to reflect, even though I am younger then some here, he still cant be touched.

Saw him twice. Even still have a ticket stub. Dallas Civic. $4.00 Balcony. Sunday April 20, 1969 3:00 PM (check the time out!), section 7, row 0, seat 7 (like anyone was sitting). Had to have the Dallas police help us find car after, 68 Mustang.... And yes, he was very very good. And The Wind Cries Mary :-(
