Jimi Hendrix Before Hendrix arrived at the festival, he had heard - TopicsExpress



          

Jimi Hendrix Before Hendrix arrived at the festival, he had heard reports that crowds of kids were swelling to epic proportions, giving Hendrix, who did not like performing in front of large crowds, cause for concern. As his scheduled time slot of midnight on Sunday drew closer, he indicated that he preferred to wait and close the show in the morning. This delayed when the band finally took the stage, which ended up being around 8:30 am Monday morning. The audience, which had peaked at an estimated 400,000 people during the festival, was now reduced to about 30–40,000; many of whom merely waited to catch a glimpse of Hendrix before leaving during his performance. Hendrix performed "Hey Joe" as the encore of their set, concluding the 3½-day festival. Upon leaving the stage, he collapsed from exhaustion. ☮
