The Jimi Hendrix Experience at their jazziest, thanks to Mitch Mitchell
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:47pm

I was just thinking, Irwin expounded at some length a while back on Mitchell's jazz-influenced drumming, and it really does come out on this track, big-time.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:48pm
Funky16Corners:

He was a powerhouse. His playing pre-Hendrix with Georgie Fame is top notch
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:49pm
coelacanth∅:

...Mitch Mitchell was the Jimi Hendrix of the drums; the perfect compliment, together with a solid, hold-it-down kind of bassist.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:49pm

Yeah, I was digging Noel Redding's bass solo
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:52pm

was Noel on that track?

Yes, one of the few all-JHE tracks on the album (i.e. without guests)

Redding vs Cox. Decisions, decisions.

(Yes, I know, Redding by a landslide, but he does lose points for a really terrible solo album in the mid 70s. And let's not be too quick to slag Billy.)

I wouldn't slag Billy. He's part of Jimi's more soulful drift toward the end

Parq, i like that Billy held it down, amongst 2 immense, textural players... not that Noel didn't do the job, but he was a guitarist who begrudgingly became a bassist; and i think it manifest as not-as-heavy a bass.

Coalesc, @ 11:06 -- I think that may have been what impressed my friends back in the day. Redding played bass more like a guitar, which struck some people as more "musician-ly", whereas Billy played bass the way I used to (or tried to -- I never did get very good as a bassist, or as a guitarist).
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:35pm

coelacanth∅:

Parq, i agree with your friends too! -and i certainly never had a problem with Noel's playing...just maybe i liked Billy's playing more because it allowed for more freedom for the 2 freedom Lovers to fly...but then maybe it's just that i like the bluesy stuff that the later experience was getting into the best, and it happened to be Billy.

"60 pounds of moon rocks" reminds me of a spot a girlfriend, who grew up nearby, brought me to called "ringing rocks". -in pa,usa; it's a dried up river bed with various sized rocks that are positioned on various sized other rocks - instead of buried in soil; so with nothing to dampen the vibration, they rang, in many tones, when you hit them. (with a hammer, or other rocks.
