Brian Epstein died in August and The Saville Theatre was opened under Epstein's stewardship in June when Hendrix first played there so the date here is wrong.

@flaxonx3

Epstein owned the Saville. A typo. in the month it must be aug. 27th 1967

Thanks.

You're right. It is always a pleasure to look at and listen to Jimi playing those timeless songs. I never get tired of it. Thanks.

I am guessing that this was put up by an American (because of the way they put the date). I was at both occasions when Jimi played at the Saville Theatre and I am almost certain that there is no actual footage. I remember Jimi wearing skin tight white trousers and a purple velvet open long jacket with a diamanté in his navel! We were lucky enough to get the afternoon matinee when Brian Epstein died and the evening show was cancelled. What a waste of a wonderful talent.

Great footage, easy to forget how unique this first single sounded at the time. I was at this Savile show (and a few others), he was supporting The Who and blew everybody away. Still the best...

I think this was used as the promo video for HEY JOE. Someone should match up the audio of that 1/27 Saville gig if it's availiable to this video.

WOW "Henkah!" Once again...VERY COOL FOOTAGE Here - Thanx! It's the studio soundtrack again, but the footage you put together for it is ONCE AGAIN - JUST EXCELLENT! This stuff is Immortal - You guys @ ESC SIMPLY ROCK! Thanx Man - PLEASE POST MORE!!!!!!!

FOR MORE Ultra-RARE JIMI STUFF: See "Henkah's" post for "Wind Cried Mary" from 10/11/67 @ the Montparnassee, Paris - for the JHE w/Jimi playing w/his hand-painted Flying V - FUCKING COOL!

Good Video, I cant believe some fool gave this a 1 star, I tried to bump it up with a 5 star, Jimi looks like Morgan Freeman here.
