The Red House Theater (紅樓劇場), often called the Red Theater or Red Play House in English, is a historic theater in the Ximending area of Taipei, Taiwan. Built in 1908 during Japanese rule and designed by Japanese architect Kondo Juro, it was originally a market building but was used as a theater from 1945 onwards.
The building recently underwent an extensive renovation. The ground floor currently houses a small cafe and a display on the history of the structure, as well as several shops in which independent artists sell their art. The second floor theater regularly hosts live performances.
The theater is located at 10 Chengdu Road, Taipei. It was the venue of the Wikimania 2007 Party [1], which included a short film festival [2].

James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 – September 18, 1970) was an American musician and singer-songwriter. He is widely considered to be the greatest electric guitarist in music history, and one of the most influential musicians of his era despite mainstream exposure limited to just three years. After initial success in Europe with his group The Jimi Hendrix Experience, he achieved fame in the United States following his 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival. Later, he headlined the iconic 1969 Woodstock Festival and the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. He often favored raw overdriven amplifiers with high gain and treble and helped develop the previously undesirable technique of guitar amplifier feedback.
Hendrix helped to popularize use of the wah-wah pedal in mainstream rock, which he often used to deliver tonal exaggerations in his solos, particularly with high bends, complex guitar playing, and use of legato. As a record producer, he also broke new ground in using the recording studio as an extension of his musical ideas. He was one of the first to experiment with stereophonic phasing effects for rock recording.[citation needed] He was influenced by blues artists such as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Albert King and Elmore James,rhythm and blues and soul guitarists Curtis Mayfield and Steve Cropper, and the jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery. Hendrix began dressing and wearing a moustache like Little Richard when he performed and recorded in his band from March 1, 1964 through to the spring of 1965. In 1966, he stated, "I want to do with my guitar what Little Richard does with his voice".
I rode the steed into the road
You want to ride, but I said 'No.'
The lighting flashed inside your howling rage
But I don't feel a thing.
First there was a wall, and then a town -
The colony that lives between us now
Whatever came to mind, we used to shout it loud
Open up the doors and let everyone run out
Into the wide, wide open
To the blinding light.
Who turned this Love into a Court?
Who hung The Law over our bedroom door?
When I rode away, they said they pardoned me
But did they give me grace? Or were they just weak?
You answered all my prayers babe
But none of my desires
And now we're both tired
There ain't no one alive
That ever could ever be the cage
For something so wild
Now there's a noise that covers this sound
Of a calling slowly being missed.
But my voice is wild with the young alarm
Of new life afraid to become-
Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!
Nowhere! No One!
Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!
Nowhere! No One!
Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!
Well there's a red house over yonder
That's where my baby stays
Lord there's a red house over yonder
Oh that's where my baby stays
I ain't been home to see my baby
In ninety-nine and one half days
Wait a minute, something wrong here
My key won't unlock this door
Wait a minute, something wrong here
Lord have mercy this
key won't unlock this door
(something wrong here)
I gotta bad, bad feeling
My baby don't live here no more
(That's ok, I still got my guitar...look out!)
Well I might as well look back over yonder
Way back up over the hill
Lord I might as well go back over yonder
Way back yonder across the hill
Even though my baby don't love me no more
Oh yeah!
There's a red house over yonder,
That's where my baby stays.
Lord, there's a red house over yonder,

Well I might as well-ah go back over yonder,
Way back among the hills;
That's what I'm gonna do.
Lord, I might as well go back over yonder.
Way back down across the hills.
Guess if my baby don't love me no more,
I know her sister will.
Yeah!
There's a red house road,
and lies beyond it something like a chicken coop,
not sure though.
I go overdose.
And the ghost of my brain
comes to yours,
and something comes quite clear.
Smoke is her name but she'll grow.
Can't stop the rain or the snow.
Am I talking about the medicine,
the legal thing you eat when you are sick?
Am I falling out of sight design?
Beyond the red house road I move too quick.
She's got real big bones
and a gorgeous home.
And between her -umm-
and me there's something quite good I love.
Smoke is her name but she'll grow.
Can't stop the rain or the snow.
And I dream, dream, dream but don't.
And I look, look.
And I leave, leave, leave but don't.
Love, love, love.
She's a buzzing bee.
She's a person, see, between you and me,
someone I want bad but can't have.
I'm an overgrown little wanting boy.
She's my only joy,
and covers come between us to clear.
Smoke is her name but she'll grow.
Can't stop the rain or the snow.
