Jimi Hendrix Experience 1968 Worcester, MA Whole, Complete Concert Ticket. An original, untorn concert ticket for the Jimi Hendrix Experience playing at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts on Friday evening, March 15, 1968. This ducat is for the late, 10:30 PM show. There was also an early show at 8:15. Opening acts were the Soft Machine and The Mark Boyle Sense Laboratory. This ticket came directly from the show's promoter.

According to the book The Jimi Hendrix Concert Files (Tony Brown, Omibus Press), this was the first time Jimi played his unique version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" in public. The group also played "Are You Experienced," "Fire," "Hey Joe," "Foxy Lady," "Purple Haze" and "Wild Thing."

Last time we sold one of these, back in January, it went for $1500. Measures approximately 4" x 2 1/4" and grades to Mint Minus condition. Ticket has general overall toning, which runs a little stronger along the right and upper right edges. It should also be noted that the "616" written in blue fountain pen was part of the ticket tracking system, and not considered damage. COA from Heritage Auctions.
