Short story:

The Hullabaloos, The Detergents, Shirley Ellis, Little Richard (whose backing group includes Jimi Hendrix], The Vibrators, The Exciters, The Hollies, The Uniques, Dee Dee Warwick, Roddy Joy, Sandie Shaw and King Curtis play at The Paramount Theater, Brooklyn, New York City, USA.

Full article:

Chuck Rainey (bassist, King Curtis Band) : Throughout the whole engagement at The Paramount, I remember constantly going to my bass and trying to play lines the way I had just heard Hendrix play them. His lines were played with a lot of character - he didn't play them straight-ahead and simple; he added feeling by using dynamics, finger tremolo and, of course, his natural showmanship.

Bobby Elliott (drummer, The Hollies): Little Richard's band, including Hendrix, were dressed in these bizarre Fry's Turkish Delight outfits, complete with the turbans and the baggy pants. Of course, we didn't know he was Hendrix, but we did notice that there was this immensely tall guitarist who towered over the rest of the band.
