RAT SUBTERRANEAN NEWS - by Marvin Grafton:

‘The invitation read; RAT, you are cordially invited to attend an opening for Generation, the new Rock Club. The invitation was signed R.S.V.P. Mike Goldstein and in keeping with the true RAT spirit ‘If it’s free…we come.’ The announced show was listed as Big Brother and the Holding Company plus B.B. King, a really fine show as it stands. When we arrived at the Generation, the place looked as if they were giving away free grass inside. It seems as though old Mike Goldstein had ’Fucked up.’ In a place that holds 500 people he must have invited 2,000 and man, they all turned out Being originally turned off by the poor preparation for the party, I was in an exceptionally un-receptive mood for a show. Then with B.B. King, the show began. B.B. did this thing…and those of you who know the man’s reputation for Blues and Soul music know he really emanates soul... Then a slight break to stretch our legs or I should say to gasp for air.
Out next, San Francisco’s Big Brother and the Holding Company featuring Janis Joplin... Not only do you dig listening to her but you dig seeing her. She really trips on her sound. When they did ‘Piece Of My Heart’ no one could sit still, including all the people who usually wind up at press parties and don’t dig rock…WOW! A great show and we were about to split when the M.C. said the show would continue in 25 minutes.
During the intermission there was buzzing that we should make sure to stick around, because we were about to see a show not to be forgotten. It turns out that Generation, Mike Goldstein (P.R. man for Generation) and many great rock stars had decided to pay tribute to Martin Luther King in the way they could do best, by having a Folk, Rock, Blues jam session. The next four hours were non-stop great.
First, Joni Mitchell, then Buddy Guy lent their personal tributes and sounds to the occasion... Next the Space man himself, Jimi Hendrix. It was the first time I had ever seen him. He is in another galaxy, another dimension. Hendrix is from another time period. The sound he gets from his equipment puts him in the Electronic Wizard class as well as the fine musician class. The musicians playing with him were even digging Hendrix. Their faces showed that they were really being ‘tumed on’ by ‘Their leader.”
After the Space Man, came B.B. King again, this time with Elvin Bishop and Paul Butterfield. Also jumping along were Sonny Friedman [sic] on drums, and James Tony [sic] on organ... It was truly a rock show not to be equalled for a long time. And so, at 5 A.M., their tribute ended.”

Un extrait de 11 min. en vidéo d'une qualité un peu moins pourrie que le reste qui traîne sur Youtube.
Les 6 premières minutes, Buddy Guy avec Jimi qui observe.
Franchement le reste ne casse pas des briques, mais pour l'intérêt historique, vidéo sympatoche...

"Awake at Generation" de Pannebacker j'aimerais bien le visionner en entier

Nice.

D'après Ben Valkhoff, l'un des plus grands spécialistes sur Jimi Hendrix, auteur des fameux Eye Witness The Jimi Hendrix Concerts.

Ben s'est penché sur cette question de la Jam du 7 avril 1968 au Generation Club.


Quel est ce guitariste barbu à côté de Jimi au Generation Club ?


Nous avons longtemps débattu sur ce sujet et nous en avons conclu que c' était Dave Woods,
mais Ben a cherché plus loin et il a finalement conclu ses recherches que c'est  Hugh McCracken

Dans cet article du New York Times au sujet de D.A. Pennebaker, on voit dans le clip quelques images de ce jam à partir de 3:07 (Janis Joplin en premier puis Jimi)
