The Beatles watch The Jimi Hendrix Experience (Saville Theatre London 4/6/67)

On June 4, 1967, The Jimi Hendrix Experience played their last show in England, at London’s Saville Theatre, before heading off to America. (The Saville was run by The Beatles manager, Brian Epstein).
The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper album had just been released on June 1. Hendrix, had got a copy of Sgt. Pepper prior to the show. The album had only been out for a couple of days, and there are some who say he bought it and others who say Paul McCartney had given it to him.
The Beatles decided to go see The Jimi Hendrix Experience at The Saville.
Hendrix decided to open the show with his version of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band“. They learned the song just before going the stage.
Hendrix didn’t know at the time that The Beatles were in the audience. Paul McCartney said later he was honored by the tribute; “simply incredible, perhaps the best I have ever seen him play.”
