A Happening For Lulu - Jimi Hendrix Experience

[Mark Kerridge]

Apologies if this has been raised before.

Just saw the performance of Voodoo Chile from the this show on TOTP2 which got me wondering.

On Sounds Of The Sixties, we saw this track, and the infamous Hey Joe/Sunshine of Your Love performance preceded by Lulu's introduction.

Is this all that survives from that particular show or does the whole edition survive? What else was on it?

What's the archival status of this show generally?

I heard that the Hendrix songs were 'hidden' at the end of another (unrelated) show by the engineer who was told to wipe it. The whole show was taped off-air by Maurice Gibb at the time. Whether he kept his tapes however..................

I maybe wrong here...
but didnt the Lulu show go out live on this occassion and the last act was Jimmi? The show was suppose to fade out on Jimmi and go into the news
but they never bothered to as obviously Jimmi was more important. It may have been the first time in history that the news was held up for a programme and not the other way round.
The show was not meant to be recorded but luckily an engineer thought a bit of history was going to be made and recorded it on a blank piece of tape at the end of another programme
