Setlist inconnue.

Le très beau Hastings Pier était détruit par le feu cette nuit.

Ce n'est pas la première fois ? Ou je confonds avec un autre lieu ?

Non, tu as raison. C'est n'est pas la première fois pour Hastings et plusieurs autres piers en Angleterre ont été touché par le feu pendant les 10 dernières années.

Quelques temoignages:

Peter Gladwish: "I remember this event very well. Jimi was straddling his guitar on the stage about 6 feet in front of me, when he poured lighter fuel on it and set it alight. Not being able to afford a ‘Strat’ at the time, I remember thinking, “What a ****ing waste!”

Graham Elli: "I was there too, ...I was leaning against the stage front and remember the lighter fuel burn and the sexy groupie next to me making eyes with Jimi all night. She rushed backstage as soon as he finished playing."

Mick O’Dowd: "Supporting programme was Orange Seaweed."


Bob Lauri: "I recall that his wah-wah kept cutting out during Burning of the Midnight Lamp. I think that he started with Foxy Lady and finished with Purple Haze..."

Tim Purcell: "I was there, near the front when he went into his smashing up the guitar routine – although immediately before he tossed his good guitar over the speaker stack and a stage hand threw back an already battered one!"

Grimey Wilks: "When he humped the speaker cab it was a Marshall cab with no speakers in."
