The Hendrix concert that Tina and Randy refer to here, was a performance early in Jimi's career at the old 'Sick's Seattle Field' at Rainier Ave and McClellan - where the Seattle Rainiers and Seattle Pilots played.

Elvis performed there in 1957.

Sick's opened in 1938 and was torn down in 1979.

It was a vacant lot for many years - now the site of a Lowe's Hardware.

@vaveon Well actually he played there on the Cry of Love tour in the summer of '70 which was the end of his career not the early part. Thats the show Randy saw..

Thanks for capturing this performance and sharing it with the YouTube audience. Btw, did you know Jim also had Irish ancestry?

'Al’s
father, Ross Hendrix, was
an
Ohio
native
who grew
up
to become a Chicago policeman and eventually, making an exotic switch, took a job as stagehand for a vaudeville troupe. He married one of the dancers in the company, Nora Moore, the daughter of a full-blooded Cherokee mother and an Irish father.'

"A good lad he was." :-)
