Well,
i set the video (HiFi stereo and all that) and went away for the
w/e.
Arrived back Monday morning looking forward to hearing 'Monterey Pop'
in glorious wonderful stero (esp. the 'Dead bit) and what have I got ?
Seven bleeding hours of Radio 2 !!!!
When did Radio 1 change frequencies ? and (more to the point) why
didn't they send me a letter explaining Why and When ?
Did anyone else get the 'Dead bit ? Could I have a copy please ??

221.7 | Who's on first? | PIWACT::JMINVILLE | Dig It Up | Thu Oct 13 1988 16:58 | 13 |
| An interesting bit of trivia related to The Monterey Pop Festival
is that The Who refused to have Jimi Hendrix go on before them.
Apparently, Hendrix had opened for The Who on numerous occasions
in the UK when Jimi was still a relatively obscure artist. At
Monterey, Townshend and Hendrix were talking backstage [Hendrix
was supposed to go on first] and Townshend said that The Who would
not let The Experience be the opening act, but that they would open
for Hendrix [quite an honor coming from ol' Pete]. Jimi was so
flattered by this that he said, "OK, then I'm gonna pull out all
the stops", and he proceeded to do his [probably] best known per-
formance -- complete with burning his guitar, etc.

221.8 | The way I heard it ... | PUGH::JANE | I can't think of a good one | Thu Oct 13 1988 17:27 | 13 |

This was said in an interview with Townsend during a Hendrix
story type film/video - I've got the thing on video at home
- but it's beta format and I've only got VHS now :-(. It was
about the first TV prog I videoed - great Hendrix stuff ...
Anyway .. from what I remember of the interview it was
Pete and Jimi arguing about who would go on first as neither
act wanted to follow the other - when Hendrix agreed to go
second he said "In that case I'm gonna pull *all* the stops"
... and he did.

The first of the "great" pop festivals - a superb event, which I
saw on film a few years ago. Hendrix/Who are brill!!!

Yes - some great concert footage ..... really excellent, especially
from the German gigs.
They didn't show the other side of her - the film content was
controlled to a large extent by the Joplin estate.
It was great to see someone who hasn't been featured that much in
the media over the years.

221.16 | Stil with Janis.... | WELMTS::GREENB | Three in a row, she's got to go | Wed Oct 19 1988 13:40 | 13 |
| >> They didn't show the other side of her - the film content was

Which other side of her do you mean, David? I know, for instance,
that no mention was made in the film of her drug abuse or the
circumstances of her death (in fact, if you didn't know she *was*
dead, the film didn't tell you......did it?)
Anyway, she came across, to me, as someone who was a bit sad and
vulnerable, who was only really happy out there in front of the
band.......
