(TV) Re: hendrix on carson

["sam matthews" <fangsdaddy@hotmail.com>]

here's what i remember.  i suspect it was the summer of  69 so i would have 
just turned 10.  friday nites were a big deal in my household. my father was 
usually out drinking beer , but my uncle (who was really cool--in '74 he 
gave me a copy of eno's "warm jets" & the miles "in concert" double for my 
birthday!) came over. anyways on fridays, he'd hang out w/me & we'd watch tv 
& get a pizza & i'd get to stay up late. so we were eating pizza & watching 
carson & now that i think about it the host was flip wilson. (i used to 
watch flip's comedy show on nbc during that era.) i remember jimi wearing 
some blue psychedelic outfit playing a white guitar (that i now realize must 
have been the woodstock strat) in front of a stack of amps (that i now know 
are marshalls). even in my youth i remember the performance striking me as 
not being too together. that's why i think it was '69 sky church era. they 
either played two songs or started one & stopped & started again. i believe 
jimi did go to the couch to banter w/flip. no---he didn't jam w/doc.
i'm sure hendrix scholars can correct my memories of over 30 years ago. 
while i've collected a number of hendrix live collectables over the past 
year, the tonight show audio has escaped me.
either way, it was a big deal for me. my first good guitar was a '72 start. 
i also had a marshall.
(btw, i now have a '65 jazzmaster---tom, thurston.....)
