When:
Short story:
The Jimi Hendrix Experience plays at Cobo Arena, Detroit, Michigan, USA.Full article:
Dave Atchison (fan) : I met and spoke with Jimi for quite a while before his last show in Detroit. It was really quite easy to get to him. Such a nice guy.
My friend Frank Osako and I had our tickets and we were looking forward to our second Hendrix concert. What I didn't know was that Frank had been calling downtown Detroit hotels that afternoon, trying to find Jimi. Frank told me that he had found Jimi at the Ponchartrain Hotel, had been put through to his suite with no questions asked, and had spoken with Jimi on the phone. And, incredibly, Jimi had asked Frank to stop by his hotel room if he had some free time before the concert.
Frank and I went to the hotel room and knocked on the door. The door opened, and there was Jimi. I was fifteen years old
