It was Jimi's last birthday. He loved the Stones, especially Mick, and was proud that they had been supportive of him even before he arrived in London in 1966.

Incidentally, I don't really recall that Janis Joplin was at Madison Square Garden. I could be wrong...

Really? He was into the Stones' sound that much?
This is quite off the point and random, but sometimes I get really sad about his death. I was born 30-40 years after he died, but I always think he never heard some really great music. Like Exile, Sticky Fingers, Blood on the Tracks, Tom Waits, David Bowie, all were after 1970, and he never got to hear them... Silly thing to spend my time thinking about, but there ya go.

Correct me if I'm wrong, friends and neighbours, but Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin both watched the Ya-Ya's show at Madison Square Garden, right? I know there's the footage of Jimi backstage, but did he watch the whole show?
And wasn't some other famous musician there too, on the night?

Yes, very sad. But Jimi did accomplish so much and he loved his guitars more than anything.
You should be able to find my book on JH in the library -- title is JIMI HENDRIX: THE MAN, THE MAGIC,THE TRUTH. I waited a very long time to write it because I prefer to live in the Now but it was meant for people like you who have soul.

Johnny Thunders is in the audience and is visible near the front in the 'Gimme Shelter' footage

Can you remember where abouts in the film you see him?
