In 1967, future Queen guitarist Brian May was a maths and physics student at London’s Imperial College. When he wasn’t knee deep in equations, he was a member of the college’s Entertainments Committee, where he’d play a part in booking bands such as Steamhammer, Spooky Tooth, America and, most memorably, Jimi Hendrix.
The 19-year-old May had first seen Hendrix play on January 29, 1967, when The Jimi Hendrix Experience opened for The Who at the Saville Theatre on London‘s Shaftesbury Avenue.
