jimi

An old photo, one of my earliest, made in 1967 when Jimi Hendrix was playing in Rotterdam. Two friends made posters of the picture and I found a copy yesterday when cleaning the cellar. I hope I will find the original negatives too.

I suppose you meant 1967, not 1997 - Jimi died in 1970 ;-)

I hope you find the originals. This is as good as any photo of Jimi in performance I've seen!
good link too, with the Experience fairly tight unlike in later years.

Yessssss ! That's him ! The one and only ! Thanks for the picture, Wierd. I saw him at Fehmarn Open Air short time before he died. Three days there was rain but when he came on stage the sky cleared up and it was bright sunshine !

I found also two so called "contact prints" , negatives straight on the photopaper, quite in a bad shape, but still nice. We went with a friend behind the stage :))

A super series of photos and a perfect musical match. A true classic by Jimi Hendrix! Hope you can find all the negatives. I reckon you could sell the photos for lots of money :-)

Thank you, Wierd, for posting to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music
