Fact #166045
When:
Short story:
The Jimi Hendrix Experience play at The Piper Club, Milan, Italy, Europe. Full article:
Mitch Mitchell (bassist, JHE) : The first night in Milan was a strange kind of disco affair, but no big deal - a gig.
Eric Barrett (roadie) : The equipment was in pieces because they had just finished a tour. After every number, Jimi would scream at me. The amplifier tubes were shot and the power kept rising and falling all the time. Jimi kept screaming, 'What's wrong?' I said, 'I don't know! I'm leaving!'
But Gerry (Stickells, road manager) told me it was cool. I said the equipment was no good, and Jimi apologised and said he didn't mean to shout at me.
