The Ambassador Theater was Washington, DC's psychedelic concert and dance hall, opened in 1967. It was a great honor to have organized a 40th anniversary reunion and panel discussion on November 3, 2007, and I thank everyone who participated in the event, as well as the research leading up to it.
The Ambassador Theater deserves a place in '60s cultural history alongside the Fillmores, Avalon Ballroom, Vulcan Gas Company, Grande Ballroom and others.
More information can be found at this wikipedia site, and a commemorative dvd is in production that will feature the whole program: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambassador_theater
Thanks,
Jeff

A-MAZING-- I grew up on the poorer end of Nils' neighborhood- about 20 minutes away and was also maybe 10-15 years younger than him. I do remember sneaking in- a 13-14 year old gal who had a LOT of much older but OK friends, so I got to see Nils with Grin, too. If Id been about 5 yrs older I might have been able to see Jimi play.

@chlpatent Just want to add that about a year later, my older sister Linda brought the house band, the Natty Bumpo over to my parents' house to live in the detached garage/cottage for a few months. A nice group of people and a pretty good band too. They did a good version of 'Sitting around in circles" as I recall.

I was at the Hendrix show Aug 67 at Ambassador - he was there 4 or 5 nights. A friend Rosemary called me "Chris, you have to come see this guy, he's amazing!" that night I rode bus from VA-DC another bus to Dupont Circle walked up 19th in my day-glo orange rubber boots I made in 10th grade art class. He lit the guitar on fire as part of the show. His music blew my 15yr old mind - I searched out his album, Experienced the next day. I was amazed that the place was not even full that night.
