From one geezer to another, I also saw Hendrix perform. I hope you had the good fortune to catch him earlier in his short life than I did. I saw him perform 4 to 6 months before he died. He arrived late. Neither his playing nor his speech was very coherent. His poor playing and surly behavior incited boos from the crowd, and he left after playing about 45 minutes. Ashame.

I did have the good fortune to see The Who in their heyday, and Muddy Waters, who was still in top form in 1977.
