Short story:

Jimi Hendrix supports John Mayall's Bluesbreakers at The Ram Jam Club, Brixton, London, UK.

Full article:

Dave Peverett (fan) : The Ram Jam was a fairly large ex-dance hall/ballroom above Burtons and occupied two floors. The second floor was a bar and the third was the venue.

The Hendrix gig stands out in my memory. His set consisted of mostly blues material - Catfish Blues, Dust My Blues etc - and he ended the show by shoving his guitar through the ceiling and playing slide utilising the remaining bits of ceiling as the 'bottleneck'. I never saw him play a better show.

Peter Green (guitarist, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers] : We were well aware of Hendrix already. He didn't jam with Mayall that night, but we followed him around for about a month. I saw him at the Seven And A Half Club, for example, and went down to meet him at CBS studio
