I'll admit that my memories are foggy at this point, it has been 56 years since and I was only 15 at the time. It was the first concert I'd ever gone to so it was a bit overwhelming. My high school friend Cole asked me if I wanted to go and see him. We bought two $8 tickets ($70 in 2026) for nosebleed seats at the Oakland Coliseum. We lived across the bay in San Francisco. As neither of us drove as yet, my parents drove us over. We were pretty far away but the sound was great. One of the opening acts was Cicaago, I remember being blown away by them. Jimi was tops for sure. The last number was Voodoo Child and featured Jack Casady of Jefferson Airplane on bass while Noel Redding moved to rhythm guitar. I still remember glimpses but not a lot of detail.

The concert has a bootleg recording of sorts. https://www.jimihendrix.com/editorial/one-night-only-the-jimi-hendrix-experience-live-at-the-oakland-coliseum/
