Jimi Saville Theater |
The Jimi Hendrix Experience played London's Saville Theatre, just before leaving for their first U.S. performances. During the final song, "Are You Experienced?", Jimi demolished his hand-painted guitar and threw it out into the audience. Jimi sacrificed his beloved guitar and history was made. A few months later he duplicated his effort at the Monteray Pop festival. | ||||
