    Description

    This is a authentic concert ticket stub (perhaps the rarest Jimi Hendrix ticket stub) from a concert featuring:
    JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE opening for THE MONKEES!!!!
    appearing July 16, 1967 at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in Queens, New York.  The stub measures 1 1/2 x 1 3/4 inches and is in  Excellent condition with no damage other than being torn from the full ticket.  As well documented, Jimi Hendrix' manager arranged for the Jimi Hendrix Experience to open for The Monkees on their 1967 US tour.  Jimi only lasted 7 shows on the tour before leaving in frustration that he was getting no billing or promotion.  It was also a really bad fit with the kids (and their parents) that were coming to see The Monkees.  There are all kinds of stories that have circulated about him getting kicked off the tour after complaints by the DAR, but the truth is that he was very frustrated that he wasn't mentioned in any of the promotion for the tour.  The JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE did perform at 7 shows before leaving the tour:
    July 8: The Coliseum, Jacksonville, Florida
    July 9: Convention Hall, Miami Beach, Florida
    July 11: The Coliseum, Charlotte, North Carolina
    July 12: Coliseum, Greensboro, North Carolina
    July 14: Forest Hills Stadium, New York, New York
    July 15: Forest Hills Stadium, New York, New York
    July 16: Forest Hills Stadium, New York, New York
    Please see scan for accurate description report.   I've uploaded a couple of scans that I will be happy to email to the buyer of this stub.  One is an article announcing that Jimi is joining the tour, another is a photo of Jimi with Peter Tork taken in Miami on one of the earlier stops on the tour and the third is a for the 1967 Forest Hills Music Festival listing The Monkees shows, with no mention of Jimi.
    Please feel free to ask any questions.  Guaranteed 100% authentic and original.  You won't be disappointed with this in your collection.
