This and the previous chapters generously shared have been a magnificent distraction from “other things”. There is also a growing awareness of knowing how the story ends which is a little uncomfortable. Precious time, the moment, being in the moment. Every 👁️
…..I think the instrumental Jimi played in tribute to MLK was ..Hey Baby…..the intro to that song always had a hauntingly beautiful sad feel the way Jimi would play it
Working in a record store in 67 with ties …. (their orginization ran all the jukeboxes in the L.A. area, it was also a jewlery store selling fake/stolen diamonds with hookers upstairs) when the first two albums came out. Holy fuck did they change the game. From the day Experienced came out I was hooked. I started listening back when you started off and on but listening to this one and the one before, I guess I gotta go back and listen to what i may have missed. Anyways looking forward to September one of the first Jimi concerts I attended
Thank you very much indeed! It's great to hear Jimi's own words (from "Starting at Zero", I believe), as well as the recollections of others. I knew that Andy Summers jammed with Jimi twice. However, I wasn't aware that he filled in as a stop-gap bassist in Soft Machine. Interestingly, on the basis of the information presented here, Mark Boyle's anecdote regarding the performance following Martin Luther King's assassination doesn't seem to reflect reality. He claimed, as you mention, that the Experience completely abandoned their regular set in Newark and improvised that "harrowing" music of "appalling" (not "appealing") beauty. The first time I heard this was when he was interviewed for "The South Bank Show" special on Jimi, which was aired by Channel 4 in the UK circa 1989. Clearly, judging by the memories of others presented here, he was talking drivel at worst, or exaggerating at best. [Edit: Typo corrected, "he" instead of "his".]
Wow, this episode came out faster than I expected. You are putting in the hours, Mr B.B. Window!!! Nice detail and pics. Fantastic, as always! 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮, extra juicy, as always… and my highest rating …. I'll throw in some extra hot sauce because of the quick delivery!!
Noel, often receivez a bad rap, bcause of his attitude, during his time azz Bassist 4 The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Listening 2 his wordz, I hear nuthin, BUTT a friend. No racism. No jealousy. Nuthin BUTT friendship.
Noel….. Like El DeBarge wrote & sang…. TIME WILL REVEAL.
1968 was the year.
This series just keeps getting better and better !!

1968 is going to be a roller coaster of a year!
Jimi has some of his best playing in 1968.
Loving every episode, just not commenting on every one – there’s only so many time you can usefully say how flipping brilliant this series is! X

This is great. I do think that small samples of the music from the shows, jams, recordings, just to get the vibe would be great

I can't wait for the next episode!👍🏾
When you compare King and Hendrix, just on a purely superficial level, it's really hard to believe the FBI prioritized King
