01 janvier 1970 - FILLMORE EAST, NEW YORK CITY -2 shows
1er show
Auld-Lang-Syne (Ce n'est qu'un au revoir)... 1969
Suffering from exhaustion and the effects of a drink laced with an unknown
substance taken before the show, Hendrix failed to execute his musical
plans this evening. Having completed just
two songs,
“Who Knows” and “Earth Blues” the only thing Hendrix could do at that
point was drop his guitar and sit down on the stage, meanwhile Miles
and Cox continue to roll through
the back beats. As Alfred Aronowitz
later recalled in his New York Post column, “The crowd has already
gotten twice its money’s worth when Jimi Hendrix stopped playing
in the middle of his
second number, said ‘That’s what happens when Earth
*** with Space, never forget that, that’s what happens.'” …
“Jimi got up, put his guitar down and walked offstage.”
“When he came off stage,” explained Alan Douglas
“he actually fell off the apron. At first I thought he was hurt, but he wasn’t.
I then ran backstage to the dressing room to see if in fact he
was okay.
There he was sitting playing the guitar and smiling.
I don’t know what went through his mind when he was on stage,
but the first thing I noticed, it looked like he was having a big
rhythm problem.
I think he just got fed up.”
Backstage, Jimi meets Johnny Winter. In recounting the meeting Winter explains,
“I saw Jimi backstage at the Madison Square Garden concert, the one where
he just couldn’t play. When I saw him, it have me chills. It was the most horrible
thing I’d ever seen. He came in
with this entourage of people, and it was like
he was already dead. He just walked in – and even though Jimi and
I weren’t the greatest of friends, we always talked, always –
and he came in
with his head down, sat on the couch alone,
and put his head in his hands. He didn’t say a word to anybody,
and no one spoke to him. He didn’t move until it was time for the show.
He really
wanted to do that gig, but he never should have.
It wasn’t that it was bad, but his whole thing was inspiration,
and there wasn’t any. It was just completely uninspired; finally,
right in the
middle of a song, he just took his guitar off, sat on the stage
– the band was still playing – and told the audience,
“I’m sorry, we just can’t get it together.” One of his people said he was sick,
and lead him off stage. He was just so unhappy that there was no way that
he could play the show. It didn’t have anything to do with the group – he had already died!”
I remember Cher
saying in an interview that she had met Jimi backstage
before the event... and that he was “so sweet” and extremely shy and polite.
She never mentioned anything about him being ill.
