content: Purple Haze, Jimi Hendrix and the stoned Hippie / Newport '69, Devonshire Downs, 1969 / As Powers explains it, newport '69 had nothing to do with Newport Beach, but it followed the 1968 concert there. Devonshire Downs, now part of California State University at Northridge, was a horseracing track which hosted this three-day event before Woodstock. Powers describes it as, "LA's Woodstock." Friday, Jimi Hendrix played with The Experience, which was the last time Hendrix played with them. On Sunday, he played a jam - meaning they started a song and played for a very long time without stopping. The list of performers over this 3-day event is interesting.
