Re:
I remember when I first discovered Hendrix in my mid teens whilst everyone else was listening to techno.I got so into his music that for 2 or so years I had a recurring dream about travelling back in time to the Isle of Wight festival and warning Jimi about his soon demise-but he ignored my advice and I always woke up feeling deflated,as if I failed a once in a lifetime opportunity.I put him in the same league as the Great Composers.

I was lucky enough to see him play live at the Fillmore Auditorium in SF in '67. He was top billed, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers were second billed, and Albert King opened the show. We took some purple acid waiting in line for the show, and just came on to it when Jimi hit the stage...

Lock the thread. That is the greatest anecdote I ever read!
(I won't mention sitting with Jimi at Woodstock watching Joplin. Thanks Psilocybin..)
