@@AmazingBlaze0 Well said mate! Like the interwebs give a $h1t what my opinion is about Jimi Hendrix! It's about the music, only the music. This ranking cr@p misses the whole point.
Mitchell did a lot of interesting and original things there. I like how Hendrix comes back by first complementing the drum solo with two alternating notes in rhythm before elaborating it into his own solo. So often drum solos end with an abrupt return of other instruments doing their own thing. Much musical sensitivity here.
This is not one of his best performances. He never was very good with 2 bass drums or 2 rack toms. I liked him best early on when he was more jazzy. He sounds like a poor man's Ginger Baker here. I heard him on the first show of his last US tour with Hendrix in 1970 and they sounded much better than this. Mitch played his regular-size kit: One bass drum, one rack tom, two floor toms. He sounded great and so did the band with the addition of S A REAL BASS PLAYER!
All three of these musicians were extraordinary. Take it all in in awe, you are experiencing surely the greatest power trio that has ever existed. I was lucky to have been with them in the day, and miss them now. All in Heaven, and you can bet......jamming just as hard as they ever did on earth!
MrMoggyman There were so many great trios back then in bands, you had Led Zeppelin(really a quartet of great musicians), The Who with daltry, moon, and entwistle, and cream with Clapton, baker, and Bruce.
noel redding could easily been replaced and it would be much the same as today. He got the gig pretty much because his hair style. He was a really good musician don't get me wrong, but saying he paired with Jimi the way Mitch and Jimi did is absurd. Two completely different work and personal relationships. Imagine if he had the same for his bass player, could have had more complex and better matching bass lines.
@@erik9830 even after the formation of The Band of Gypsys the bass got better and the drumming was up to par but no where near Mitch just a personal opinion coming from a guy who listened to 22,100+ minutes of Jimi Hendrix last year
All the greatest rock drummers of that era came from jazz inspiration. Mitchell, Michael Shrieve, Carl Palmer, Ian Paice, Bill Bruford… all had lightning chops, great feel, inspiring solo capabilities.
When I was introduced to Jimi Hendrix Experience, I wasn't into it. I didn't like all that guitar noise back then, but I kept listening. And what really caught my attention was Mitch Mitchell's drumming. It was hypnotic. Eventually I started to appreciate Hendrix guitar playing and ironically he's my favorite guitar player now.
Ehhhh Dario, or shall I call you douchebagio. Guitar noise, what the fuck is wrong with you bro that’s total blasphemy talking about the god of guitar.
@@themagicminstrels476 Dario is probably the only person I've heard say ironically now Hendrix is my favorite guitar player lmao but I'm reverse all I cared about was Jimi and my focus is more on Mitch now
Kinda sad Noel was somewhat of the odd man out. He was pretty much a reluctant Bass Player, He was actually a guitarist but The JHE didn't need a extra guitarist since they already had 3 James Marshall Hendrix...
it was amazing that Noel learned the bass i believe in weeks or 2 months , at least a very short time, he was actually a lead guitarist but jimi liked his hair, jimi was into nice hair his hair style was copied to bob dylan's as jimi quoted on his hair too, yes he loved nice long hair, and they got jimi's hair style down packed by the english hair stylish i believe it was in england that helped him with his look,,
Just imagine what it was like when people first heard this, wow! It was a groundbreaking soaring sound with Mitch Mitchell's driving drums matching Jimi's unbelievable guitar playing. There wasn't a drummer like him in all of Rock, one of the greats!
@@stevedriscoll2539so true. Back in the 80's when I really got into Hendrix with beer/weed the sound did sometimes appear to assume physical dimensions to me. Especially '3rd Stone'.
Excellent battery interepretacion teacher Mitch Mitchell, like Jimi Hendrix, never go out of era and will always be present in time, as the great masters of classical music !!!
Wow! If you want to know what the Jimi Hendrix experience is really all about, definitely watch this clip. Mitch Mitchell was extremely underrated. He really shows his chops off in this sequence. Thanks for sharing! Amazing
@@garyrobert9085 I'm an old guy, and from my generation among the first things you taught yourself were the grooves and fills from "Fire" and, later,, when you were a little better, ""Manic Depression."
@@thomasbell7033 I have no doubt that Manic Depression doesn't happen until you're a little better. BTW, If I'm remembering correctly there's a portion of this comment thread that speaks to Mitch coming from a Jazz drumming background and that a number of great rock drummers from that era were also.
@@garyrobert9085 Yes, almost all of the great ones were tutored by great British jazz drummers or inspired by American jazz drummers. Ginger Baker was mentored by Phil Seamen, for example. The great Jon Hiseman of Coliseum was from jazz. As was Clive Bunker from Jethro Tull, who is one of my favorites from the period. Keith Moon, not surprisingly, was mostly self-taught. Mitch was a child actor who was tutored in jazz drumming. Oddly, a lot of the American rock drummers were formally trained in American school band programs. Hence the two guys from the Allman Brothers.
Mitch was a great drummer and perfect for Jimi ( I was fortunate to see the experience three times live in London) and he was more jazz than rock and this is an excellent drum solo, but I did notice that their were some moments in the solo that were pure Ginger Baker. R.i.p to them both.
I love this entire performance. I listened to it as my music to fall asleep every night for almost a year. The beginning of the show, they were off but they got it together. I guess they had a couple weeks off prior to this show. Mitch wails!!!!!!
One of the most unsung drummers ever, never gets the plaudits he deserves, his drumming all throughout the Experiences work was nothing short of brilliance, RIP to the JHE three ❤
Mitch was always well respected in Europe because he was very unique, at that time it was his Destiny to be infused with Jimi style and mastery. Drum magazine acknowledge that Classic drummers from across the pond were giving praises on Mitch's range and style.
So so good, what a trio they were. I still find it hard to go past Mitch’s performance on fire, it is so frigging fierce and I can just picture the kit on fire once it was done. Thanks for sharing this!!
@Ben Miz I like your reference to "a trio" - each a master of their individual craft but the combination produced a synergy that was the real triumph. IMHO we can argue back and forth whether Mitch Mitchell was the greatest drummer of all time vs Moon the Loon, Bozo Bonham, Ian Paice, Neil Peart, Ginger Baker, Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, Mike Shrieve, Dave Grohl, Bill Bruford, Carl Palmer, Carmine Appice, Jim Keltner, Danny Carey, etc, etc, etc but most would probably agree that each was the best FOR THE BAND they were in at the time. Imagine swapping out Mitch Mitchell for Keith Moon - i thing both The Band of Gypseys AND The Who would've been the poorer, despite each drummer being the virtuoso they most certainly were! Ditto for guitarists, vocalists, bass players, keyboard players, etc. Greetings a good wishes to all.
From what I remember hearing, Jimmy Hendrix was either having a bad day or audio mixing issues and was giving up and Mitch Mitchell got him back into the groove by continuing to play until everybody fell back in line.
Did anyone experience the possession that came over him!!! I mean wowwwww other worldly...and then put headphones on..close your eyes and take his ride. Bless them
Noel’s playing was perfect for the Experience When you watch the whole band at speed. Acid rock is so expressionist It’s like having 3 Van Goughs out their at the same time all fitting together. Imagine being the bass player with Jimi and Mitch going off thinking...OK WHAT AM I GONNA PLAY😀 It’s an absurd RHYTHMIC PUZZLE CRANKED UP TO VERY HIGH ALTITUDE. Plus those guys had the coolest clothes EVER😃
I saw them once. December 1968 ,Chicago , USA. I don't recall the drum solo so this will do just fine. Single bass drum , one ride tom, double floor toms. THAT , I remember .
Noel could not take the biscuit as they say in the trade. Brilliant solo by Mitch!!! When Billy Cox played with these two guys it was a totally different band❤
Mitch was one of the greats. Lord, he tuned low, which I copied as a baby drummer. It's a shame he seems to only be remembered by drummers. One of those he inspired was Stewart Copeland, himself one of the all-time great innovators on the drums.
This is ALL GOOD, still the greatest guitarist of all time, would have loved to see him play, his death was such a tragic event that could have been prevented. Still gets me mad
Him and Ginger Baker are neck at neck for best drummer ever. Bonham and Moon are amazing in their own right but stand no chance for the shear elegance both drummers added to a song.
Awesome footage. Feels there's a degree of influence on Mitch from Ginger Baker (Toad and all that) but can equally see a young John Bonham seeing something like this and sensing mileage in it!
I see Max Roach & Elvin Jones, in his playing. Mitch was definitely inspired and influenced by the great Be Bop Jazz Drummers. Bonham, Moon, and Baker were also influenced by these two. Listen to that open bass drum, too! Great solo! I wish I could have seen Mitch live. I got to see Noel. I got to meet Noel, too. Great experience. No pun intended.
From Keith Jones drummer Barnstaple, Devon now retired and living in Bude Cornwall. Met with Mitch Mitchell when I was with my group Flying Fortress. Went back to his house and played alongside Mitch at his barn studio both of us on different Gretsch drum kits. Mitch was on his black double bass drum kit, you can read about this in Chris Adams book The Grail Guitar. God Bless (K.J.) If interested google You Tube Keith Jones drum solo Devon.

Couldn’t agree more
its called natural drumming@@WarrenPeace007
I thought Hendrix played those notes to get the band back to the main rhythm of the song, Voodoo Child.
It seemed Jimi just worked into the vibe of the drum solo. Then all three worked back to the song structure.
This is not one of his best performances. He never was very good with 2 bass drums or 2 rack toms.

I prefer Mitch with one bass drum.
The bass solo is great too

Mitch Mitchell Was The GOAT OF THE 60s. Yes he was EXPERIENCED!!!
Magical! Almost 50 years have passed, and so far nothing has surpassed that mixture of quality and feeling!
3 amazing musicians in a band that’s all you need
Truly one of the greatest under rated drummers of modern area
Who says he's under-rated? Mitch Mitchell is widely recognised as one of the best rock drummers of all time, certainly my favourite :))x
Saw Jimi 4 times, but never saw Mitch do a solo. Bad ass. ❤❤
I love ALL these men. They were all incredible artists and as a band they were a cat 10 hurricane
5:15 is the best part
really such an underrated drummer due to the fact he was behind HENDRIX,but really the only drummer that could be behind HENDRIX!

Its like Mitch & Jimmi had this symbiosis , they matched seamlessly .
James Berlo alien telepathy
Next evening in Copenhagen. I was there!
I like the double bass - generates phenomenal power.
I guess we could say Jimmy was Mitch's guitar player and Noel was Mitch's bass player.
Fantastic music jewel to find and share...

I've never understood the importance of drum solos but I will say this about Mitch...the SOUND of his drums were amazing, especially on "Foxy Lady."
That's the importance of drum solos, their sound!
a very very underrated drummer,he was great.I know as a drummer myself.
Mitch is still my favorite..right man at the right time for Hendrix.
Absolutely terrific solo love Mitchell always have always will! An impeccable touch!
Look at the spacing on that hi-hat. Very good drummer playing traditional styles.
Not just a rock or jazz swing drummer but a drummer with a funky groove like Moon or Bonham
That's why they are among the best rock drummers ever, maybe even the best drummers ever.
OMG thank you for telling me about moon. Now go back and watch him in slo-mo. thanks again
