Jimi

Smashing a Stratocaster at Monterey

I´m almost sure that I posted this story before. And it´s a great story. Jimi was getting "hot" in 1967 and at Monterey he had an argument with The Who about who should play first.

They agreed that The Who would play first - "but I'm going to blow you out". Then there was this famous "Smashing the Stratocaster" performance.

Jimi's "Wild Thing" was probably his ultimate revenge on The Who (smashing his stratocaster)

Here is a full recordings of Jimi´s performance at Monterey.
