Jimi Hendrix 1968
Barry Fey: The first time I saw Red Rocks was when I arrived at the show Sept. 2, 1968. It was Jimi, Soft Machine, Vanilla Fudge, and Heir Apparent. Some of Jimi's equipment didn't arrive, so they had to use some of Fudge's equipment. It wasn't his greatest performance, but it still was a magical show. To me, the highlight was Vanilla Fudge doing "People Get Ready." People lit up matches, which they only do for encores now, and were singing along. It was the first time I'd seen that. I'd arrived there with Jimi, and you just can't imagine the artist looking up at that scene.
