Scarce vintage ballpoint signature and inscription, “Love to Jill, Jimi Hendrix,” on an off-white 9 x 6 sheet. In very good condition, with intersecting folds passing through his name, light toning, and show-through from past mounting residue on the reverse. Accompanied by an original glossy publicity photo from 1968 and a facsimile handbill from the February 1968 Sacramento State College concert signed by artist Jim Ford. According to the consignor, the signature was obtained at that Sacramento concert.

Also accompanied by a 2000 Experience Hendrix magazine with an article on the aforementioned event and a self-published book discussing the show in detail. Performed at the Men’s Gym at Sacramento State College on February 8, 1968, this Hendrix concert was organized by a group of ambitious college students who—acting as promoters—formed an organization Students for the Appreciation of Pop Music to take advantage of the school’s available arena. After securing the facility, they invited the guitarist to perform…and anxiously awaited to see whether he would actually show up. Having never received a signed contract, a group of the students drove to San Francisco where Hendrix and the Experience were performing in order to verify a commitment—getting into his dressing room but never actually speaking with Hendrix. The best they could muster was word from their manager: ‘Don’t worry about it.’ In the end, more than 4,000 came out to see the show…as did Hendrix and his band.
