Jimi Hendrix Signed John Van Hamersveld Poster – Los Angeles 1968
I met artist John Van Hamersveld at a fashion trade convention in Las Vegas. I was amazed to see him there. He was charging $10 for a signed poster of his work, which is just plain wrong. The man’s one of the greats.
The original Hendrix show took place at the Shrine Auditorium in LA and featured, among others, Brit prog jazzers, Soft Machine. Hendrix only played 5 songs:
Are You Experienced?, Wind Cries Mary, Up From the Skies, Red House, Wild Thing and Purple Haze.
