Jury trial on December 8th 1969 for prior drug bust in Toronto. Lab tests discovered drugs were heroin. Jimi claimed he had a headache the day of the bust and a fan gave him what he thought was Bromo-Seltzer. Chas Chandler testified as a compelling character witness, supporting Jimi. Jimi was found not guilty.
Sid Bernstein's Winter Festival for Peace:
Location of Band of Gypsys final show. Festival at Madison Square Garden. Jimi was messed up for this show and after a few bad attempts at some songs, Jimi stopped playing and just sat down on the stage in complete silence. He had to be led offstage.

After a much better second show, Jimi taunted Graham backstage asking "That good enough for you, Jack?" Graham wrote of the second show: "Aside from Otis Redding, there will never be anything like that show."
Eric Burdon:
One of the last few to see Jimi alive. Upon discovery of Jimi's dead body, Dannemann called Burdon. Burdon came over and cleared all the drugs and paraphernalia out of the apartment. Burdon found a song Jimi had written the night before ("The Story of Life") and mistook it as a suicide note. Burdon then wrongly told the press Jimi's death was a suicide.

Heaven Research:
The Band of Gypsys album gives credit for production to "Heaven Research" (A.K.A. Jimi Hendrix...I am unsure why he went under this moniker).
Fulfillment of the Ed Chalpin/PPX suit:
The Ed Chalpin/PPX suit required Jimi to record an album for Ed Chalpin. This would be released under Capitol Records. He would get all the profits from this album's sales. They recorded 4 live shows at the Fillmore East. These live recordings were turned into the album "Band of Gypsys." With this fulfilled, Jimi owed nothing more to Ed Chalpin.
Arthur and Albert Allen (The Ghetto Fighters) A.K.A. Tunda-Ra & Taharqa Aleem:
The GHETTO FIGHTERS were formed in 1970 by Jimi and the Aleem Brothers (who are identical twins) to explore new projects that would go beyond the work Jimi had been doing and expand the sounds he was working with. "The music and material sounds brand new," according to TaharQa, "and for all intents and purposes it is. It'll surprise and delight current fans and new ones to come."
Crash Landing:
The controversial album released by Alan Douglas after Jimi's death (first produced for Jimi by Alan). Controversial due to the use of session musicians that had never met Jimi to re-record/overdub original, unfinished material — changed the "feel" of the songs (Wikipedia).
