Vintage ballpoint signatures, "Jimi Hendrix," Noel Redding," and "Best, Mitch," on the reverse of an off-white 3.5 x 4.5 complimentary pass for admission to 'The Sunday Jazz Club,' featuring Sid Bailey and the Jazzmen, to be held at the Neptune Rowing Club in Dublin. Annotated at the top in pencil, "Whitla Hall 1967." In fine condition, with some light soiling and a small piece of tape to the front side.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience played two shows at Whitla Hall, Queen's College, Belfast, Northern Ireland, as part of the college's 'Festival '67' program on November 27, 1967—the 25th birthday of Jimi Hendrix himself. He received a cake from the festival's organizers prior to the show, then proceeded to tear into explosive renditions of 'Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,' 'Fire,' 'Purple Haze,' 'Hey Joe,' 'Foxy Lady,' and 'Wild Thing.' In the Belfast Telegraph, George Hamilton reported: 'The noise being blasted out at the Whitla Hall last night during the Jimi Hendrix concert was the loudest I have ever heard. It was so bad you could feel your insides—and even your chair—resonating…in tune, naturally…[the group were] fine on record, and just as good at reproducing a similar sound ‘live’ but the enormous amplification swamped everything.' It was the only time the Jimi Hendrix Experience played in Ireland.
