I found out about this Instagram 'cause Haley follows/likes it, lots of interesting photos and nuggets about Jimi Hendrix. Today's post happened to tie in w/ Caley's performance

Jimi and Lulu. Even though he got banned from the BBC because he refused to perform with her on her show. It's amazing footage. Cream had just broken up and instead of performing a song with her which he felt would harm his image, he performed "Sunshine of Your Love". ?✌️?✨???? #lulu #jimi #jimihendrix #jimihendrixexperience #peace #psychedelic #goodvibes #Geartalk #hippie #hendrix #cream #ericclapton #gingerbaker #1960s #sunshineofyourlove #BBC

He was slated to play 'Hey Joe' which he began with an unexpected, feedback driven intro. He cut 'Hey Joe' short and went into 'Sunshine..' because of Cream's break up. Producers were telling him to stop but he kept going until they cut him off the air. You can hear him say in a jovial manner, 'We're being put off the air!' And in the footage you see him playful dismiss what were efforts by the producers to coerce him into ceasing to play 'Sunshine..' It's amazing and inspiring.
FYI tangent:Lulu was HUGE in the UK, her biggest hit, a song she sang and co starred in Sidney Poitier's movie "To Sir With Love"
She would later marry one of the Gibb Brothers, Maurice of the Bee Gee's... One of UK's "Pop Royalty" couples
