I saw Hendrix do this live either in 68 or 69, (long time ago) when he had just come off the Monkee’s tour. I had to be dragged to the concert by my guitar player. It was mind-blowing. I had never seen a TRIO sound like a five-piece band. Hendrix was at his peak. A year later, I saw him again, and he was quite drugged out, could never tune his guitar, walked through the motions. But the first concert was a once-in-a-lifetime event. And yes, he played “Wind Cries Mary.”
This is getting interesting now. Thanks for the great stuff you added. I had wondered about your tagline before :)
