On 24th February 1969 the Jimi Hendrix Experience played their last ever British performance when they appeared at the Royal Albert Hall in London. I am not entirely sure why, but during the encore of “Purple Haze” and “Wild Child” the stage was invaded by fans, police, bouncers, floor managers and practically the entire audience. The entire audience? The Royal Albert Hall capacity is close to 6,000. How big is the fucking stage? Those were the days, right? Incidentally the support acts that night were Van Der Graaf Generator and Fat Mattress.
The full set list for the Jimi Hendrix Experience was:
- Lover Man
- Stone Free
- Hear My Train a Comin’
- I Don’t Live Today
- Red House
- Foxy Lady
- Sunshine of Your Love
- Bleeding Heart
- Fire
- Little Wing
- Voodoo Child (Slight Return)
- Room Full of Mirrors
Encore: - Purple Haze
- Wild Thing
- The Star-Spangled Banner
