People on Facebook are still discussing this photo. Is it Jimi sleeping? Some people even suggested it might be Jimi on his death bed. It's not. Recently we've been able to pinpoint the location and the period when the photo was taken. We even have an idea who took it! More on this photo in the DONORS AREA.

"MACHINE GUN" – Band of Gypsys Live At The Fillmore West, NY - 31 December 1969, 1st set. More about this here.

So Luigi and I were discussing the dates of the above photo sessions, one in a studio and one at Jimi's Upper Berkeley Street flat. One would get migraine from doing the research, which I did. The end solution came from a good friend, who supplied additional information which abled me to date these two sessions for once and for all. End result here.

Dear Lifelines supporter,

As of today the jimihendrix-lifelines.net website makes a restart.
Basically we go back to the old donations system. That means that you get access to the ‘donors only’ area by making a chosen donation, preferably in monthly intervals.
There are some changes if compared to the old website:
✭ Your starting point is always the Lifelines home page. Here you will find a new blog, which has the latest news, new found photos, and shows updates of what’s new in the donors’ area. In the right hand column you will find a menu which links to the available time periods.
✭ The ‘free’ section of the website is a condensed version of what’s in the donors’ area, with only the highlights of Jimi’s whereabouts on any particular date. Extensive stories and many photos in the donors area as usual. Example of a ‘free’ page here.

Well, that’s about it, folks!

Cheers,

Ben Valkhoff.

Luigi Garuti: "Nice new photo of the Newport Pop Festival jam in 1969."
