I know what you mean; there aren't many drummers who could play that busily without the performance sounding sloppy or overworked.

  Agreed - for a great experience listen to these songs and concentrate on the drums. Mitch had a definite jazz flavor to his playing which I think worked better with Hendrix than a straight rock drummer would have.

1967, I was 14 and saw Jimi at the Bank Street Theatre in Ottawa that winter. Soft Machine was opening act. Got home late and was grounded for a week.

An explosion of noise, frenzy of instruments, voice and sound.....all in a chaotic 2:47 assault of pure bliss!!  {#Jump}

I can never forget a buddy and I trying so hard to get a tent set up, in the dark, while on really good 'cid, up near the Maroon Bells, at Castle Creek, a stream so pure (in 1984, anyway) that you could DRINK IT, and this tape was firmly wedged on auto-reverse in the cassette deck...and for some reason, whenever THIS SONG came back around, it kept reminding us that we should leave the fire alone and get back to setting up the tent! It took HOURS; laughing our butts off every 5 minutes, and then after, down at Steak Level, as the meat sizzled on the grill, we realized, Oh, I suppose we COULD change the tape...but...we just let it play all night; it was just way too good; every song spoke volumes and more, and uhh...are you EXPERIENCED?  Not necessarily STONED but ahh — BEAUTIFUL!  
Jimi was THE SOUNDTRACK to some of the BEST TRIPS!

That year I had taken a one-time date to an Association concert. (I was 15, so I think we went by school bus.) I remember talking to her about this guy/group and wondering out loud if I should invest in the group's debut LP. I took the gamble and never looked back. I don't think I ever listened to the Association again, until recent years when I included them in a nostalgia mix.

Oh, and it was most certainly '67.

Ah, what a wonderful way to get through being at work! Good thing most people are away on their holidays. I can crank this right up! 

Jimi, you can always take over!

A classic song.

Would love to hear Manic Depression from the same album.
