Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and a letter of provenance from the original recipient, which reads: “In 1967 on November the 26th, my cousin and I got tickets to see Jimi Hendrix at the Palace Theatre in Manchester. We caught the train from Irlam to Manchester then walked to the Palace. The bands we saw were Pink Floyd who sang See Emily Play, they were just up and coming then, Amen Corner, The Nice, and Jimi Hendrix – this was the band that we really wanted to see. We had a great night and after the concert, in those days there was no security at the gigs, we decided that we walk up the side of the Palace to see where the street led to, there was a door at the end which we knocked on and it was opened by the members of The Nice. Jimi Hendrix sat on a chair playing guitar. The band members signed their autographs for us on the flyers which were on a table in the dressing room and then handed it to Jimi to sign for us. They were all very nice to us, Jimi just said hi and carried on playing guitar, he seemed like a very shy person.”
