For those that don't know, He played this only 2 days after the Beatles song came out, shocking everyone.

Track Illuminates Fascinating Backstory and mutual admiration Between the Two Bands

Today, the lead off song on Jimi Hendrix Experience: Hollywood Bowl August 18, 1967 has been made available on all digital platforms by Experience Hendrix, L.L.C. in partnership with Legacy Recordings, a division of Sony Music Entertainment. This cover of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” which had its world premiere yesterday on the SiriusXM satellite radio show Breakfast With The Beatles, comes in advance of the full album, which will be released November 10 on vinyl, CD and digital formats.

“Here is the sound of the most exciting new group in the world, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, live in rock’s greatest year – and performing the opening theme song from The Beatles’ Summer of Love masterpiece,” guest host of Breakfast With The Beatles and former Rolling Stone editor David Fricke declared yesterday. “It is a pleasure and honor to play it, for the first time anywhere, on the Beatles Channel.” Normally hosted by Chris Carter, the terrestrial version of Breakfast With The Beatles (on KLOS in Los Angeles) is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.

The Who are an English rock band formed in London as The Detours in 1962. Their classic lineup (1964–1978) consisted of lead vocalist Roger Daltrey, guitarist Pete Townshend, bassist John Entwistle and drummer Keith Moon.

The Who changed managers to Peter Meaden. He decided that the group would be ideal to represent the growing mod movement in Britain which involved fashion, scooters and music genres such as rhythm and blues, soul and Modern Jazz. He renamed the group the High Numbers, dressed them up in mod clothes,[28] secured a second, more favourable audition with Fontana and wrote the lyrics for both sides of their single "Zoot Suit"/"I'm the Face" to appeal to mods. The tune for "Zoot Suit" was "Misery" by the Dynamics,[29] and "I'm the Face" borrowed from Slim Harpo's "I Got Love If You Want It".[30] Although Meaden tried to promote the single, it failed to reach the top 50[31] and the band reverted to calling themselves the Who.[32] The group – none of whom played their instruments conventionally[33] – began to improve their stage image; Daltrey started using his microphone cable as a whip on stage, and occasionally leapt into the crowd; Moon threw drumsticks into the air mid-beat; Townshend mimed machine-gunning the crowd with his guitar while jumping on stage and playing guitar with a fast arm-windmilling motion,[34] or stood with his arms aloft allowing his guitar to produce feedback in a posture dubbed "the Bird Man".[35]

What a fun band!

Cool story!

Another Canadian musician! I never heard that.



Frank Marino

Francesco Antonio Marino (born November 20, 1954) is a Canadian guitarist and singer, best known as the leader of Canadian hard rock band Mahogany Rush. Often compared to Jimi Hendrix, he is described as one of the most underrated[1] guitarists of the 1970s. In 2021, he announced his retirement from music.[2]

Biography and career
After playing drums since he was five,[3] Marino started playing guitar around age 13 or 14.[4] An often-repeated myth is that he was visited by an apparition of Jimi Hendrix after a bad LSD trip [5][6] - a myth Marino has always disavowed, and continues to do so on his personal website.[7] His playing, however, is inspired by Hendrix (on the Gibson website he is described as "carrying Jimi's psychedelic torch"[8]), and Marino is notable for often performing cover versions of Hendrix classics such as "Purple Haze" and "All Along The Watchtower".[9][8] He has been criticized by some as a Hendrix clone.[10][11] Marino himself claims that he did not consciously set out to imitate Hendrix: "The whole style just came naturally. I didn't choose it; it chose me."[12]

Thanks for sharing that R.D.
I guess there was a few different versions going around. Back in the day stories like that lead to some pretty good trips...lol



Hells Angel, hired by the Rolling Stones to provide “security” at the band's era-defining free festival in the East Bay, stabbed a Black concertgoer to death in front of Mick Jagger. Three other people also died that infamous night. Much has been written about December 6, 1969

The Who concert disaster was a crowd disaster that occurred on December 3, 1979, when English rock band The Who performed at Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, and a rush of concert-goers outside the Coliseum's entry doors resulted in the deaths of 11 people.

Strong winds upended the metal scaffolding and stage equipment at the 2011 Indiana State Fair while a crowd was packed into the concert venue. Audiences had been waiting for an outdoor performance by Sugarland when 70 mile-per-hour wind blew through the fairground and caused the stage to collapse. The disaster resulted in the tragic deaths of 7 concert-goers.

I had heard about the Altamont. Shady!

The Riverfront I don't remember at all. In those days I didn't have a TV or radio and didn't read the news.

Horrible!

I have no desire to ever go to a concert again, too many people! A small concert, maybe.

I had never heard of that either! Not surprising, given the huge number of people.

I'll just enjoy armchair concerts, nowadays! Yikes!
