I'd just like to clarify that what I'm really listening to is The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Live In Ottawa from Dagger Records....Not whatever the hell that album is displayed here.

The show ran past its scheduled end time due to this addition.
It cracks me up that Jimi says that at the beginning of this. I mean, I wasn't there, but I can't possibly imagine being bored at a Jimi Hendrix concert back in the day, no matter what he was playing.

Yes, we've made it to 1967! 1. Love, "¡Que Vida!" Forever Changes is quite rightly remembered not only as a classic album from 1967, but as a classic album, period. But what are blogs but a chance to personalize history? At the time, the Love albums I played obsessively were their first two, the second of which, Da Capo, included this sweet-sounding piece of psychedelic pop with lyrics that weren't quite as sweet as the music might suggest: "Do you want my vision?

In 1967 this was the Saville Theatre, where Brian Epstein promoted a series of concerts.
A young Peter Gabriel saw Otis Redding here. It's most famous for the Jimi Hendrix Experience. 'Sgt. Pepper' had been released two days earlier and Jimi kicked off the
show by playing the title song while Lennon and McCartnery watched from the audience.
It's on Shaftsebury Avenue.
