"The following day, the group traveled up the Calif. coast to perform at the Santa Clara Rock Festival. One of the better-organized festivals of 1969, Hendrix and the Experience coasted through their seventy-minute performance, sending, as the San Jose Mercury described, "nearly 20,000 of the king of rock's subjects into stunned delicious rapture." One memorable highlight of the Santa Clara appearance took place before "Foxey Lady" began. Hendrix had often introduced the song with a sly quip, usually dedicating the number to "somebody's girlfriend... we'll find out after the show" or, wile pointing to an unknown female fan, to "that girl over there in the yellow underwear." On this day, a gust of wind had lifted the skirt of a pretty folk singer who had completed her set earlier and was now watching Hendrix from the wings of the stage. The opportunity was too good to let pass and Hendrix wryly dedicated "Foxey Lady" to "the girl back there with the yellow underwear." "Yea you" confirmed Hendrix, pointing out a young Stevie Nicks red with embarrassment.
Apparently Stevie is quoted in the "thank you" part of the book where people who contributed memoirs is listed.
