The Most Radical Jimi Henrdix Footage Ever!: Despite my advancing years, I am proud to say that "I Was There" when the attached link to Jimi Hendrix Live on 'The Lulu Show' was broadcast in 1969.

Not 'there' as being in the studio, unfortunately, but 'there' at home in the parent's lounge watching the show on the straight-laced BBC TV, and seeing this jaw-dropping tribute to the then recently demised Cream, which "just wasn't the done thing" in those days.
Failed guitarist as I readily admit being, I'd just like to be able to play the intro to 'Hey Joe.'
If you never watch any other Jimi footage, you need to see this before you shuffle off this mortal coil, as they say.
