On this day in 1967, Jimi Hendrix performed a cover of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” at London’s Saville Theatre just days after its release, with Paul McCartney and George Harrison in the audience.
One of the two known videos of Jimi Hendrix playing acoustic (1967) - allegedly, the video was made after a photoshoot where the photographer brought him a special 12-string guitar, strung upside down to adapt to Jimi's left-handed playing.
Fact. I came up as a phenom in LongIsland as a illustrator choosing @AdelphiU over Pratt NYIT in Design. HipHop galvanized it. I aimed to be Bill Gallo or Leroi Neimann rather than my NYC peers id heard about Keith Haring & Basquiat. I was envious of the Warhol scene. It ended up that both of them ended up a fan of my music. All 5 i mentioned are deceased but their work lives on. Never graffiti but respected the best.. Before my MC prowess I was a Grandmaster of Illustration GraphicStyle & Design. Funny how life writes..
