Miles Davis at Isle of Wight
Listen/watch
The following quotes are from the Miles Davis' Autobiography written with Quincy Troupe. Simon and Shuster, New York 1989.
"In August 1970 I played the Isle of Wight concert in England . . . people came from all over the world to that concert: they said they had over 350,000 people. I had never seen that many people out in front of me before."
"Jimi Hendrix was there, too. He and I were supposed to get together in London after the concert to talk about an album we had finally decided to do together. . . . Now the roads were so crowded coming back into London after that concert that we couldn't get to the meeting on time, and so by the time we got into London, Jimi wasn't there."
and back in New York with Gil Evans:
"Gil Evans called and told me that he and Jimi were going to get together and he wanted me to come down and participate. We were waiting for Jimi to come when we found out he had died in London . . ."
