Content:
00:00. ARRIVING IN LONDON
with a Fender Stratocaster, a spare set of clothes, and a jar of Valderma
02:30. THE LONDON ROCK ESTABLISHMENT -
Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck were celebrated as the guitar heroes, while The Who dazzled audiences with their electrifying, and spectacular stage performances.
03:51. JIMI MEETS KATHY ETCHINGHAM
I wanted him to be not only my friend but also my lover. He was a completely different kind of connection.
07:00. NOEL REDDING AUDITIONS (Having a novice bassist like Noel was advantageous, as it meant he had no preconceived notions about the instrument.) (7.00 - 9.25))
09:25. NOEL RECOUNTS THE STORY
He said, I must be groovy to have hair like that and as we walked back he asked if I would come up to the audition room again the next day as he hoped I’d be in a new group with him. ) (9.25 - 10.52)
10.52 JIMI MEETS MITCH MITCHELL
With a promising background in music and an evident affinity for the drums, Mitch would soon prove to be an essential piece of The Jimi Hendrix Experience puzzle, contributing his remarkable talent to their iconic sound.
12:50. WALKING THE STREETS OF LONDON
During those early days, we had leisurely afternoons with time to spare, and Jimi loved nothing more than strolling through the city, taking in the sights like an awe-struck tourist. The old buildings fascinated him, with their intricate gargoyles, statues, and ornate decorations that adorned the streets of London.
14:23. JIMI'S JAMS WITH CREAM & ERIC CLAPTON FREAKS OUT
"Eric nearly fainted," Chas later revealed to us. "He said, 'Give us a cigarette, man! Is he really this good, or can he only do that one piece?'" When I assured him that Jimi was the real deal, Eric could only exclaim, "Oh my God!" He had only heard ten bars at the most. Within a week, he had his hair frizzed and would come by our flat anytime he had a spare moment, to be with Hendrix.
17:16. DECIDING A DRUMMER - MITCHELL WINS THE COIN TOSS
"So that night, Jimi and I went back to the apartment and flipped a coin to decide who would be the drummer - Dunbar or Mitchell," Chandler explains. "We couldn't make up our minds. Rehearsals had to start soon as the tour was only ten days away. Luckily, Mitch won the toss
18:48. NOBODY WANTED TO SING
The main - or rather huge - problem was that nobody wanted to sing, not even at rehearsals. Even though Jimi had been singing in New York, he was still nervous about being in England and got terrible embarrassed about singing.
19:44. SELECTING A NAME
20:43. CHAS CHANDLER - THE PLAN UNFOLDS
