‘BY JIMI-NI! THIS MAN’S NOT ONLY EATING HIS GUITAR, HE’S PLAYING IT…’
by Mike Ledgerwood

"Jimi set the swinging London club scene alight last week [11 January] with a stage act that left pop's top names on their feet shouting for more. In the audience at the Bag O' Nails, rapidly becoming the new “In” club in town, was a galaxy of stars including BEATLES Paul and Ringo with Brian Epstein, ROLLING STONE Bill Wyman, HOLLIES Allan Clarke and Bobby Elliott, WHO'S Pete Townshend and John Entwistle. CREAM'S Eric Clapton, Lulu, Small Faces, Donovan, Fourmost, Eric Burdon's Animals, Georgie Fame, Geno Washington, DJs Chris Denning and Tony Hall and ex-Moody Blues singer Denny Laine. Jimi Herndrix is the Greenwich Village discovery of original Animal Chas Chandler, whose experienced eye spotted obvious star quality in this giant coloured American. Last week he was booked into the “Bag” and stars flocked to see him. It was certainly a night to remember. Jimi did two spots of powerful, full-blooded blues which produced some amazing sounds and guitar gymnastics. He looks set to become one of the brightest stars of '67.”

Bill Wyman confirme sa présence à ce show dans son autobiographie. "Hendrix's music and wild appearance personified the changing, adventurous sounds" précise-t-il. Quelques lignes plus haut, il remarquait qu'avec Cream et les Who, la musique rock évoluait considérablement en ce début d'année 1967.
