The concert opened with a house band (at the time, the Mosaic Virus - basically a Jefferson Airplane clone) which played for about an hour then the "headline" act. and a growing group of fans on the West Coast of the U.S., but was basically unheard-of on the East Coast. Hendrix had a loyal following in the U.K. Concerts were scheduled six nights a week and the admission price for each concert was ONE DOLLAR (!!!).Īt the time, the "Are You Experienced?" LP had just been released. The theater was just that - a movie theater which had been gutted of seats, with the stage remaining, leading up to a huge screen onto which oil-pan psychedelics were projected live from the projection room, above and behind the performers' heads. In late 1967 (!) I saw Jimi Hendrix perform for six concerts (two on Saturday night) over five nights in-a-row, at Washington, D.C.'s "Ambassador Theater", in the Adams-Morgan section of the city.

Zaner and we thought it was pretty illuminating, so check it out! This remembrance of a legendary Hendrix performance comes to us from reader Carl A. Additional stories from readers below support that. We think the video above makes it pretty clear that Hendrix liked to mess around with the lyrics, and on occasion actually did say "'Scuse me, while I kiss this guy." Which means this site may not be named after one of the most commonly misheard lyrics after all.
