Fact #157507
When:
Short story:
The Jimi Hendrix Experience play at The CNE Coliseum, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, supported by Soft Machine, Eire Apparent and The Paupers.Full article:
Marilyn Beker (Toronto Globe and Mail) : Youngsters in satin Indian jackets, long hair and curls squatted with sit-in determination in a variety of yoga-like positions.
John MacFarlane (Toronto Star) : When Hendrix finally went on stage, it was 11pm, and for the first time in the evening the audience applauded without reserve….
Marilyn Beker : Hendrix looked for all the world like an ant dressed in green trousers and print shirt...
John MacFarlane : Hendrix plays and sings with great bravado, arms swinging and slashing at the guitar, twisting and bending his body as he forces sound from the shoulder-high bank of amplifiers and speakers behind him, lunging at the microphone between runs on the guitar. He sings with a kind of cat-voice, soft yet powerful. He can play the guitar with tremendous feeling - when he wants to, he can make it an other-world electronic orchestra.
Marilyn Beker : The words of many of his songs, such as Hey Joe and Foxy Lady were unrecognisable and the guitar was an electronic blast… It was impossible not to notice that Hendrix was a competent, exciting musician. All his work was superior, even when he plucked his guitar with his teeth.
John MacFarlane : And then Hendrix spoiled it by smashing his guitar - as contrived a finale as any The Monkees might have dreamed up.
