In just 4 year's time, he created the modern version of American rock music and reinvented the guitar. And broke the brains of whoever saw him do it. It's JIMI HENDRIX week!
Jimi breaks through on the southern Chitlin' circuit with his first ever TV appearance backing up Buddy & Stacey on Nashville's Night Train in 1965. The Jimi Hendrix Experience immediately explodes in the UK and Europe with performances on Germany's Beat! Beat! Beat! and Sweden's Popside. Jimi gets banned from the BBC when he refuses to sing Hey Joe with Lulu. And Jimi makes his American network TV debut with appearances on The Dick Cavett Show right before and after his era-defining appearance at Woodstock.
