Guest replied to mick2me's topic in Nick Palmer's Nottstalgia General Music Chat.
RobL:also did knebworth..was the Marshall Tucker band on that year?? Saw uboat as well they were excellent! Tell us some more bands I love to hear stories about gigs!..jealous to think people saw Hendrix or cream etc.. -
I went to the Isle of Wight pop festival with 3 mates, had a ball over the 3 days we were there, mind it was a bit chaotic to say the least, the facilities (read toilets) just could not handle the crowds and well I'll leave that to the imagination. The local pubs did a roaring trade with massive queues building before opening times, as they opened the crowd would rush in, not to the bar but the toilets ! In the end the toilets all became blocked and unusable. We got sick of the mess and crowds and headed back to the mainland. One memory was of sitting on "suicide hill" watching Jimmy Hendr

I mentioned this before in another thread. My mum used to work in the Watmoughs that was on Goldsmith Street by the side of the Theatre Royal (just next to Jack Brentnall's guitar shop). She remembers Jimi Hendrix coming in for a packet of fags after his sound check - Dec '67 I think. (He smoked Benson and Hedges apparently). They were tiny shops. Just the serving bit and a storeroom cellar below. There were some nice tuffies around at that time. They don't seem so nice these days - and I'm sure that's not just my memory playing tricks !

Listening To The Blues.
firbeck replied to Michael Booth's topic in Nick Palmer's Nottstalgia General Music Chat.
I don't know why but I've not looked on here before. I first started to appreciate the genre in the latter part of the 60's, probably due to listening to John Mayall, Chicken Shack and Fleetwood Mac, 'Red House' by Jimi Hendrix on his first album was one of my favourites at the time, then the style was 'expanded', for want of a better word, by bands like Led Zeppelin and even Canned Heat. I recall when I was working at Minehead Butlins back in the summer of 69, persuading the manager of the local town basement disco to try an alternative music night. I was given the chance and took in my vario -
There's also talk of Jimi Hendrix being asked by a reporter at the Isle of Wight Festival "What's it like to be the worlds greatest guitarist " He replied "ask Rory Gallagher"

After #7 Burning deire - Jimi Hendrix

Yes Paul, I've got a picture of a poster for a gig at the Theatre Royal in 1967 which I went to - Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Move, Pink Floyd, Amen Corner, the Nice, Eire Apparent and Outer Limits. Prices ranged from 5/- to 17/6. (If any young people are reading this, that's 25p to 75p).

Saw LJB at the Dungeon with Steam Packet and at the Sherwood Rooms (probably with Bluesology including Elton John) - he was one of several acts on, the only others I can remember are Jimmy James & the Vagabonds and the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

For those who never saw him first time he was here,lol
Ashley replied to Ashley's topic in From Rock & Roll to Rock Music
Yes he gets all the right sounds, even the singing,also looks right, has had fair amount of bad press, accused of cashing in on the Hendrix legend but I don't see anything wrong? no more so than likes of AB/CD, KillerQueen, BritFloyd, Dark Side Of The Wall etc, even the Hendrix family endorse him! -
I'd never heard of Randy Hansen before, Ashley. but he's certainly worth listening to. A great Jimi Hendrix tribute band. -

mick2me replied to mick2me's topic in Nick Palmer's Nottstalgia General Music Chat.
Thanks BW not heard the Hendrix version. I believe Buddy Miles was Hendrix's drummer. Surely thats not hendrix doing the vocals? The Buddy Miles version was chosen by DJ Petal @ the Union Rowing Club around 1970. -
I was very sensible during the years of my youth; in fact too sensible. Looking back, what I should have done was slung my baby on my hip and gone and joined the rest of the Hippies troopsing to the Rock Festivals back then; what better than to have had first hand experience of Jimi Hendrix live. Now, through the wonders of technology I can watch him on 'You Tube'; just one complaint: whatever happened to his best version of 'All Along The Watchtower'? - his step sister removed it because it was Sublime, that's what happened!

When it came to decorating school books (and school bags) the main feature I remember were either football teams and their individual players, or the names of groups and singers. In my Fairham days, the main names on books and bags were the likes of Dylan, Cream and Hendrix. To be different (and because I liked them) I went for Pink Floyd, Deep Purple and the Moody Blues.

Nottingham Pop & Blues Festivals
DAVIDW replied to zab's topic in Nick Palmer's Nottstalgia General Music Chat.
Not exactly a Notts concert but lots went from Nottingham to the Spalding Tulip auction halls Bank Holiday May 1967 , where Hendrix ,Cream,The Move,Pink Floyd,Geno Washington and Zoot Money were on the bill and the admission was just £1 !!! Check out the posters . http://www.ukrockfestivals.com/spaulding-festival.html I have an awful admission about this , as when we got inside the place , Pink Floyd who were low down the bill, were playing . It was the most awful racket you could imagine (to our ears ). Much worse than that , we couldn't see any girls to chat to and actually left before -
In one of Jimmy Hendrix songs he sings "scuse me while i kiss the sky" i thought it was scuse me while i kiss this guy.

I got it from the Jimmy Hendrix, Crash Landing Album. (The stuff I listened to when I was younger why oh why)

Next time Moz has a gig, we could have a steampacket, Hendrix , beachcomber reunion ?
-
Hi Moz, I have already posted , a few years ago, about being at the steampacket gig at the dungeon....was a massive fan of Julie Driscoll. I saw Hendrix at the beachcomber alongside Jimmy Cliff and Jimmy James.....
-
It was the Penny Farthing, but I don't remember what it was called when A & M were there. They then move on to a new Ariba on St James Street. Going back to memories of Long John Baldry - I saw him a couple of times, once at the Dungeon in about 66 when he was with Steampacket (with Rod Stewart, Julie Driscoll & the Brian Auger Trinity) and once, probably 67 at the Sherwood Rooms when he was in Bluesology with Elton John. Was anyone at this gig? I can remember Jimmy James & the Vagabonds and top of the bill the Jimi Hendrix Experience, but cannot remember who else was on the bi

I can confirm what Babs says about the music the Mods and Rockers listened to. Way back in the early 60's at the Toreador the rockers were listening to the likes of Sam Cooke, Ray Charles and Fats Domino, as well as the Beatles and the rest of the Mersey Sounds. In 1964 when we moved to Beeston, there was plenty of Tamla Motown on the Juke Box at Jack's Cafe, and it was always being played. When I was the Saturday night DJ at the White Hart in 75-76, I would play stuff like The Doors, Hendrix, Hawkwind, The Allmann Bros, Led Zep etc. The sort of discs you would expect at a Biker's disco, b

Yes, there was a Watmough's there on the Goldsmith Street side. I know because my mum used to work there for a while (probably 1969). She remembers Jimi Hendrix coming in to buy a packet of fags (maybe he was on at the Theatre Royal ?) Next door to Watmough's on the right was Jack Brentnall's music shop. A mate of mine worked in there selling guitars. Then next to that was the County Hotel (at least I think that's what it was called). I remember the police investigating when a woman booked in there and killed herself and they had no idea who she was. Also on Goldsmith Street was Selecta D

Not that different, I was I think only one c/w parka etc to go down the dungeon and the trent bridge clubs on a 500cc Matchless (wasn't I Craig Strong) never had any hassle apart from a few trying to say scooters were faster than the matchbox, soon proved otherwise, remember someone giving me a who sticker and a TFW (the family way) one to stick on the bike after someone gobbed on the seat when parked outside dungeon, By the way know someone who has a DKR and it's bright orange! btw Dance with the devil and I'm too sexy by right said prats both rip off's of Hendrix's 3rd stone from the s
