Jimi Hendrix Experience – Rare 1968 Washington D.C. Concert Poster
A very rare oversize concert poster advertising afternoon and evening shows by The Jimi Hendrix Experience with Soft Machine and the Mark Boyle Sense Laboratory light show at the Washington D.C. Hilton, on Sunday, March 10, 1968.
This poster has it all–a large, dramatic photo of the Experience, Day-Glo lettering, and bold graphic design. Measuring 17 1/2″ x 23″, the poster is in excellent condition. The four corners have had been expertly restored by Chris Fennell of Chameleon Restoration, who touched up the ink in a few spots and repaired a small hole. None of this is apparent, and the poster displays beautifully. There is a bit of light waviness to the thin paper, but this will frame beautifully.
A very rare and beautiful Hendrix poster.
From the official Jimi Hendrix website: The Experience play two shows at the Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C. The band is joined by Soft Machine and Mark Boyle’s Sense Laboratory. The first set includes: “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” “Hey Joe,” “Foxey lady,” “The Wind Cries Mary,” “Red House,” “Purple Haze,” and “Wild Thing.” The second set, lasting 36-minutes consists of “Killing Floor,” “Foxey Lady,” “The Wind Cries Mary,” “Fire,” “Red House,” “I Don’t Live Today,” “Purple Haze,” and “Wild Thing.”
A more recent Washington Post article noted that as Hendrix was playing ‘Foxy Lady,’ a six foot person in a chicken costume rushed the stage.
