Short story:

The Jimi Hendrix Experience hold a press conference in The Copter Club of the Pan Am building, and Hendrix is interviewed by Life, The New York Post, Crawdaddy, Hit Parader and Jazz And Pop.

Full article:

Mike Zwerin (journalist) : They arrived on top of the Pan Am Building which still then had a hell-pad. It's right above Grand Central Station, like a cigar. Anyway, all the music press was up there, in the lounge, and the helicopter lands and they come off. And what a sight that was. First of all Hendrix by himself but with Mitch Mitchell, and then the Soft Machine with their big furry coats and long hair. We went, 'Fucking Christ, this is a fucking invasion. That was amazing.

Noel Redding : After the press conference was over, we hit the town, Salvation and Scene.

Al Aronowitz (journalist) : We went out for soul food on Seventh Avenue, the first thing Jimi wanted to eat in America because he could never get any in England.
