He added: “The typical London jazz crowd tried to show indifference as he took the stage, but a ripple of applause greeted the greatest guitar player in the world.”

Jamming with War, Hendrix played covers of Memphis Slim’s Mother Earth, followed by a rendition of Tobacco Road.

According to Far Out Magazine, Burdon wrote: “Having Hendrix onstage made [War guitarist Howard Scott] play better than he ever had before”, while also saying that Hendrix was “flying”.
