final Experience
View attachment 4802107

How was that final? I saw the JHE exactly two months later…

Quite frankly, I would have preferred to have seen Soft Machine as an opener(I was indifferent to the Fudge until Near The Beginning). Cat Mother was pretty lame, but Hendrix had a hand in producing their album.
It was to my understanding that the original Experience came to an end at a messy Denver festival in June of '69.

It must have been unreal to see Jimi. He was special.

That was the Tales Of Topographic Oceans tour.

I've posted this story before, so apologies if you've read it.

I saw this show in Madison, WI at the Dane County Coliseum. Festival seating. Best location in the house was about 30 rows back, right in front of the FOH riser (which you weren't allowed to sit on). The doors would open and everyone rushed the stage. Not me. I went straight for the FOH and stood in front of it with my legs pressed against it so no one could get behind me. Was sitting their with a friend. Donovan finished his set, which I enjoyed, but didn't play Atlantis. Boo. The lights went up and the roadies started tearing down his equipment. I stood up and started chanting "Atlantis. Atlantis. Atlantis." Then my friend finally joined me. Donovan came back on stage with a bar stool and his 12 string and played it for me, while the roadies finished clearing his gear!

One of my favorite concert experiences. It was a capacity crowd of about 8,500, but he played that song for me.

My guess is that one of the FOH guys (who I'd passed a doob up to during his set) called backstage and told him about my chant.

Shivers down my spine.

That was the Going For The One tour. Tales Of Topographic Oceans was released in 1974, and I saw the ensuing tour, as well as the one in '77. What I remember of Donovan's band was that he had a lead guitarist who resembled Pete Townshend somewhat, and this guy took to leaping about the stage in that fashion.
The '74 show was held in an arena more suited to livestock shows(this was in OKC). The stage was butted up against one end, and our seats where kinda behind the band, which was actually educational to see them perform from that vantage point. But before the show, Rick Wakeman stepped off the back of the stage, and wandered up the steps of the aisle to where we were sitting, and hung out for a while, chatting. I guess he was bored.

At the show I attended, unfortunately he more or less phoned it in. Just another gig in a faceless town on an endless tour. He did whip up a little enthusiasm toward the end of the night. Redding looked like he rather would have been somewhere else, and Mitchell was deep into his drumming. The Winterland Shows boxset, performances recorded a month earlier, reveal a band more into it.

Thanks for clearing a bit of mental fog. I spent 2.5 years in and out of VA hospitals after getting a medical discharge from the Army. I then attended U.W.-Madison starting in the fall of '74. I remained fully chemicalized for the rest of the '70s. I was actually carried INTO a concert of two.

I have my own Twilight Zone classic rock moments, stuff happens that we may never know.

that happened to me with Pink Floyd, '75, first nite of a 5 nite stand at the LA Sports Arena where the pigs were heavy handed and the band were negatively affected. after their stunning Hollywood Bowl show years earlier I was super primed and nailed it with seating, 3rd row center, all for nothing. a few days later I saw Golden Earring at the old Shrine with Emmylou Harris w/ James Burton opening and forgot about the Floyd show.

Rick was bored. He hated that album. He had one foot out the door anyway.
