Jimi Hendrix

[ translate ]

Rare original concert program for the Walker Brothers 1967 UK Tour, 7.75 x 9.75, 16 pages, signed inside next to his image in neat blue ballpoint by Jimi Hendrix. The inside of the program has also been signed by Cat Stevens, Engelbert Humperdinck, and John, Gary, and Scott Walker. In very good to fine condition, with light creasing and handling wear, and round sticker residue to the front cover. Consignor notes that the autographs were obtained at the Finsbury Park Astoria on March 31, 1967, the opening night of the UK tour. Buried behind the chart-topping Walker Brothers, Cat Stevens, and Engelbert Humperdinck, the Jimi Hendrix Experience received modest billing at the start of the tour. By year's end they were one of the most sought-after tickets in live music, soaring high off the successful debut of Are You Experienced and their now-legendary performance at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival.
Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and by a typed letter of provenance from the previous owner, in part: “I was given the signed programme by my eldest sister who worked for the ABC Cinema organisation for approximately five years the company had offices above our local cinema, the Granby in Reading. A perk of the job was that she often had the opportunity to attend pop concerts in London, this allowed her to go backstage where she could meet a few of the performers, so that she was able to get signed programmes which were given to me.”
