On this date it has been reported that The Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr were in attendance, as was The Whos Pete Townshend and John Entwistle, The Rolling Stones Bill Wayman, The Creams Eric Clapton, Lulu, The Animals Eric Burdon, Georgie Fame, Geno Washington, Denny Lane, and Donovan.

This evening also marks the first time that Jimi Hendrix meets guitar effects wizard Roger Mayer, who would later create several effects pedals for the guitarist.

Their mimed performance is reportedly filmed for Radio London but it never airs.

Hendrix later laments about the miming experience in a January 28th interview published in New Musical Express saying, The one thing I really hate is miming, its so phony.

So far the only thing I was asked to mime was a Radio London appearance and I felt guilty just standing there holding a guitar.

If you want to scream and holler at a record you can do that at home, Im strictly a live performer.

The performance included Hendrix singing over an instrumental backing track to meet regulations of the British Musicians Union.

Their performance reportedly includes Hey Joe, Stone Free, Like A Rolling Stone, and Wild Thing.
