i remember the Sha Na Na variety show, for sure. i read this past week that the organizers kept pushing Hendrix to go on earlier because they knew he was going to be mind-blowing, and he was adamant about not going until everyone who had been waiting around longer than him went first, especially Sha Na Na, because they had been bumped a couple times already. whether calculated or not, his decision to go on at sunrise ended up contributing to his legendary performance.
