It was fifty years ago today that Jimi Hendrix died. I saw him perform just the once, on April 3, 1967, at the Odeon Cinema in Leeds, on a ‘package’ tour that, bizarrely, also included Cat Stevens, Engelbert Humperdinck, The Californians, The Quotations and - top of the bill - The Walker Brothers. Hey Joe was still in the charts, Purple Haze had just been released and the summer of love was still to come. Heady days!
