How Jimi Hendrix Discovered The Band Chicago

Jimi Hendrix Experience album Los Angeles Forum - April 26, 1969 Order the album: The new release Los Angeles Forum - April 26, 1969 (out November 18) presents an extraordinary performance by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. The main support act at the Forum that night was Chicago Transit Authority, who soon thereafter shortened their name to Chicago. In a brand new short film, three original members (trombonist James Pankow, trumpeter Lee Loughnane, keyboardist/vocalist Robert Lamm) recall being in awe of Jimi Hendrix as a musician and his graciousness as a person, and explain how his personal invitation to open for him on such a large stage was a turning point in their career. Pankow remembers meeting Jimi Hendrix at the Whisky a Go Go: “He looks at us and he goes, ‘You guys have a horn section that sounds like one set of lungs, and a guitar player that’s better than me. You want to go on the road?’ Hell yeah! . . . our jaws were hanging open.” Listen to Jimi Hendrix: Subscribe to the official Jimi Hendrix YouTube Channel: Watch more of Jimi Hendrix music videos: Follow Jimi Hendrix: Facebook: Twitter: Instagram: Website: Spotify: YouTube: #jimihendrix #chicago #losangelesforum
