From November 8 to 11, 1966, the Jimi Hendrix Experience had a short residency at the Big Apple club in Munich , their first gigs in Germany. At this occasion Hendrix had a show experience that would define him from then on: when trying to escape in panic from a frenetic audience that had pulled him off the stage, he smashed his guitar for the first time in a sound explosion on stage, which was perceived by the audience as part of the show. Observing the audience’s reaction, Chandler decided that this show of violence had to become a permanent feature of the Experience’s show.
