    Holy crap! Where did you see Hendrix? And how was the experience (bad pun intended)?
    In my home town of Ft. Worth, TX, if you can believe that. May 1970.
    Sad to say, he wasn't really feeling it that night and quit playing after about an hour. Everybody was kind of disappointed but we all figured we'd catch him on his next tour. Not to be tho. :(

    Interesting question- I've seen more bands than I can count but I can only think of one I've seen more than once
