Jimi Hendrix - Royal Albert Hall Guitar Fragment

The Jimi Hendrix Experience first headlined London's Albert Hall on February 18 1969, but technical problems at their rehearsals left them unprepared, resulting in a lacklustre performance. Returning the next week, at the follow-up Royal Albert Hall gig on 24 February, the band were determined to make up for their previous poor showing. Thankfully, Hendrix was back in form, blasting through some of their finest versions of "Little Wing," "Voodoo Chile," "Foxey Lady" and "Fire." Hendrix then encored with "Purple Haze" and "Wild Thing" before ramming his guitar neck into the amplifier speakers, smashing the guitar and scattering pieces into the audience.
