On June 4, 1967, Jimi Hendrix played two shows at the Saville Theatre – his last before leaving for America and the Monterey Pop Festival. He started off the legendary evening set with a rendition of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, to acknowledge the Beatles’ album being released at No. 1 three days prior. For the last song, Are You Experienced?, Hendrix took a guitar from the wings that he had painted that day and at the end of the song smashed it to pieces.
