Description
Micky Dolenz of the Monkeys was a Hendrix fan after seeing him perform in NYC as “Jimmy James” in Greenwich Village night clubs with the Blue Flames and later at the Monterey Pop Festival. “He played with his teeth” Micky said. He also noted that like the Monkeys, the Experience was a “manufactured group” and both were very theatrical in there act. Micky convinced the groups management to book Jimmy Hendrix and the Experience as the opening act for the Monkey’s first US tour in 1967. Well their fans were not so impressed or welcoming and after only seven of the 29 show dates Jimmy dropped out after contending with thousands of nasty, impatient, and jeering teenyboppers.
Posted on September 18, 2020, the 50th year after Jimmy’s death at 27 years old.
