The version of `` Sunshine of Your Love '' that Jimi Hendrix 's band played on Happening for Lolu was completely new .
After a performance of `` Voodoo Chile '' , on BBC 's Happening for Lulu show in January 1969 , the band stopped midway through an attempt at their first hit `` Hey Joe '' and then launched into a wholly unrehearsed version of `` Sunshine of Your Love '' , as a tribute to the recently-disbanded band Cream , until producers brought the song to a premature end .
