~ A marriage in heaven? the monkees touring america with the almost unknown jim hendrix experience in '67? it was a disaster with teeny boppers screaming for davy or mickie etc they just didn't wanna hear fuzzed-out feedback laden guitar solo's played at high volume...mickie dolenz had seen hendrix as jimmy james in new york in early '67 and later when witnessing his over the top performance at the monterey pop festival in june suddenly realized it was the guitarist from new york who played guitar with his teeth! with a huge and important tour coming up they all agreed to having him along...but oh dear! with the tour starting in jacksonville florida july 8th it was nothing short of a major mistake...by july 16th when it reached the forest hills show in new york hendrix pulled the plug and walked away...just 7 shows played out of 29 scheduled the other support acts filled in as best they could with new york band 'the sundowners' and singer 'lynne randell' battling the screaming girls who only wanted the monkees! interesting ad here as the detroit show was to have taken place on august 13th at the olympia stadium ....the promo saying they were playing detroit july 29th but according to the monkees official site it was to be august 13th...
