Londres (Blaises) : 21 décembre 1966


“Jimi Hendrix, a fantastic American guitarist, blew the minds of the star packed crowd who went to see him at ‘Blaises’ club, London, on Wednesday [21 December]. Among those in the audience were Pete Townsend, Roger Daltrey, John Entwhistle, Chas Chandler and Jeff Beck. They heard Jimi’s trio blast through some beautiful sounds like ‘Rock Me Baby’, ‘Third Stone from The Sun’, ‘Hey Joe’ and even an unusual version of ‘The Trogg’s’ ‘Wild Thing’. Jimi has great stage presence and an exceptional guitar technique which involved playing with his teeth on occasions and no hands at all on others! Jimi looks like becoming one of the big club names of ’67”

“Some girl rang me up and said, ‘You’ve got to hear Jimi Hendrix. I saw him last night … and he was unbelievable’,” Beck remembered, “I said, ‘Right, thanks.’ Just what you want to hear first thing in the morning. Anyway, I went along to see him in a club, Blazes I think, and he was just … it was like a bomb blowing up in the right place. He came out with Dylan’s ‘Like A Rolling Stone’, and I thought ‘Oh Christ, all right, I’ll become a postman’.”
