Fact #76058
When:
Short story:
The Jimi Hendrix Experience plays the third of six concerts at Winterland, San Francisco, California, USA.Full article:
Chet Helms (Family Dog Productions) : The Dead played again at The Avalon that night and Hendrix shows up there while The Dead are playing. Hendrix comes up to me and I told him that the Grateful Dead and Quicksilver and I were waiting for him all night in Sausalito, and I asked him what happened. Hendrix says, 'Oh, I met this broad, and we dropped acid and we fucked all night.'
… Hendrix said, 'Can I jam with the Grateful Dead tonight on the stage?' and I said, 'It's OK with me, but it's their gig, it's their show. If they want that to happen, it's fine with me.'
I brought Hendrix into the dressing room and told The Dead that Jimi wanted to jam with them, and they're saying, 'Great! We'll do it.' The Grateful Dead go back out on stage to do their last set of the night and start playing. And keep playing. I tell Hendrix and everybody that, no matter what happens I'm pulling the plug at midnight.
What happened was the Dead kept playing and kept telling him to wait, and played out their set… So Hendrix never jammed with the Grateful Dead, and the bottom line is that they were pissed at him.
