Not my kind of thing but my good friend at Idle Hands & Co has produced some retro T-shirts to remind people of the event at Hastings.
They can be bought via the website:

And you can see a clearer image on the home page but you have to scroll down past the Royal Wedding of 2011.

Looks good, i went ahead and bookmarked you on Digg.com under “Jimmy HendriX Performed at Hastings Pier 1967, Fri 22nd Oct, were you there? Mrs Tara Plumbing”. So hopefully our friends can give you a visit. Keep up the good stuff.
At the age of 13 i managed to get to the front of the stage where Hendrix performed. Thanks to him i have had Tinnitus since then. He smashed his Fender Telecaster at te end of the gig. They performed on Sunday 22nd Oct 1967 & not Friday. The Pier use to have the Sunday club where the other bands of the time played. These include the Small Faces, Kinks and so on.
The Pier caught fire in Oct 2010 which is very sad as some of the bands that performed in the late 60′s and 70′s became huge, these include The Who, Pink Floyd, Status Quo, UFO, ELO & Ten years After + many more.
Thanks
