Mitch sat in with my band in a Honolulu club in 1969 and was so immediately funky he burned the place up. Amazing, and our band got orchestra pit seating to watch the Experience a couple of nights...I'd already seen them in '67 (CA) and '68 (Hawaii) but from up close...whew...I met and hung out with Jimi a little (got his non working cassette player working somehow for which he was grateful...he said he had the receipt just in case) as he was vacationing from the road for a week or so. What an interesting character and really nice guy. He had a Gibson SG Custom and a Princeton Reverb for home noodling.
There's always time for a little Jimi...
I just like watching Jimi talk to the crowd. Strange, how the audience is so quiet. Also get a kick out of watching the last minute tune ups, and Jimi fussing with the Marshalls. What's the deal with Mitch's cymbal stand?The Experience were off a little in spots, but they haven't been playing for 6 weeks!
Cool set list.
