does anyone remember Jimi Hendrix playing at the California Ballroom in Dunstable Beds ? Was it a good gig and who were the support band?

I wasn't there personally but I've just finished setting up a website commemorating the California Ballroom and have been researching bands and dates. I've found the date Hendrix played there but nothing more at the moment. If anyone gets the answer to you, please can you let me know via the website which is on www.califronia-ballroom.info. Thanks

Jimi's official site http://www.jimi-hendrix.com/ is compiling something called the Jimi Hendrix Encyclopedia which includes a complete day-by-day timeline -- but so far they've only got '69 and '70 online. They're working backwards so eventually should get to Dunstable (28 Oct 1967). JHE played Sussex University a fortnight later: the support there was Ten Years After.
