Although The Experience's May 19, 1968 performances at the Miami Pop Festival's second day were canceled due to torrential rains; the previous day's stellar concert included highlights such as this recording of "Foxey Lady." The rains also proved inspirational to Jimi Hendrix as it resulted in him writing the song "Rainy Day, Dream Away" featured on the 2LP ELECTRIC LADYLAND release. #JimiHendrix #FoxeyLady #MiamiPop #RainyDayDreamAway | Jimi Hendrix
