Overview

Jimi Hendrix - The Day I Was There is the story of the world's most flamboyant guitarist in the words of over 500 fans. With memories from his early career in the US through to his untimely death in September 1970, this is Jimi's story up close and personal. What emerges is a portrait of a man who could do things with the guitar that his peers had never even imagined, let alone thought possible, but who off stage was a kind and considerate soul. With tales of being dumped as support act to The Monkees, burning guitars and smashing amplifiers, but also talking to fans and sharing cigarettes and guitar playing tips, this is Jimi at Monterey, Woodstock and the Isle of Wight. This is Jimi is you've never read about him before.
