The Open Air Love & Peace Festival in Fehmarn, Germany on September 6, 1970 wasn’t, really. It rained and blew a gale, Jimi Hendrix was cancelled and Hells Angels, burnt down the organizers’ trailer, at least they were blamed. Jimi Hendrix was meant to go home on the 5th but stayed to play on the 6th: "I’ll play tomorrow. Tomorrow at noon. I don’t have to, but I want to. The fans are out there in the dirt, I have to play for them.”
A week later he was dead.
The death of Hendrix brought the ideals of the 60s to a crashing, full stop: Peace and Love had gone stale and Vietnam protests and violence had replaced them. This stencil painting by Juan Sly, taken from rare, 16mm footage and some stage photos, has frozen the Popiconic moment when Hendrix sang “Hey Joe” for the last time.
