Fact #92109
When:
Short story:
The Jimi Hendrix Experience play two shows at Winterland, San Francisco, California, USA, supported by Albert King, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and The Soft Machine.Full article:
John Mayall : He was always getting pretty upset about the fact that people would put pressures on him to play the hits. He would really go onstage … with the feeling that he wants to play for those people because they've presumably come to hear him and his musical mind. And they don't want to know about it. So he would end up, he would play a couple of things that they knew, and he would play a slow blues for himself, and it would be - to any musician's ears - a completely mind-blowing and really creative thing that would be so complete and good.
And the audience would still shout out for those other things. So, when he hears that, he's really felt that he's poured something out, and that's the real him as a musician, and they haven't even known about it. So he just gets bitter about it - 'OK, you want this, you got it, blam, blam, blam! I'm through and that's it.'
Mick Taylor (guitarist, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers] : After our show at Winterland with Albert King and Jimi, we went and played somewhere until about five in the morning. It was kind of like The Grateful Dead meets the blues. Jack Casady from Jefferson Airplane was there. I don't think we played songs, just riffs and notes, anything.
