Jimi Hendrix, Vanilla Fudge, Soft Machine, Heir Apparent: Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles CA

Pete Johnson, Los Angeles Times, 16 September 1968

THE JIMI HENDRIX Experience was too much for the ushers who have managed to confine spectators to their seats during the summer series of rock concerts in the Hollywood Bowl. The audience pushed forward, clogged the aisles and stood craning to see the wild man and his guitar. Nearly everyone stood and in the front box area they stood on chairs and teetered on the fences which compartmentalize seat sections. Jimi Hendrix, Mitch Mitchell and Roel Redding headlined the Saturday night concert, which also featured the Vanilla Fudge, the Soft Machine and the Eire Apparent.
