Actually it was Billy Cox,and the band he played with on their 67 U.S. tour was- drum roll.....







The Monkees!

[Verne_Frantz]

It is my memory that Jimi "opened" for the Monkees, which did not go over all that well with the bubblegummers when he lit his guitar on fire.
I think '67 was when his first album was released "Are you Exerienced", and the band was known as the Jimi Hendrix Experience. I think the drummer's name was Mitchel (?).

Belair, you're only about the 3rd person in the world I've known who actually remembered SWLABER! I actually used to play that song in my high school band. (The Other Half)

It's a little known fact that Jimi was a member of the 101st.I actually live in Clarksville TN (home of Fort Campbell) and know the house on 9th Street that Jimi lived in whilst he was here. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif

[Late BrakeU2]

The experience was Jimi,Redding,and Mitch Mitchell.He formed band of Gypsies with Cox and Buddy Miles(on drums) in summer 69-that group closed the Woodstock festival.Pretty cool time for chevys and R&Roll

SWLABR - She Was Like A Bearded Rainbow

By Jack Bruce and Pete Brown

Coming to me in the morning, leaving me at night.
Coming to me in the morning, leaving me alone.
You?ve got that rainbow feel but the rainbow has a beard.

Running to me a-cryin' when he throws you out.
Running to me a-cryin', on your own again.
You've got that pure feel, such good responses,
But the picture has a mustache.

You're coming to me with that soulful look on your face,
Coming looking like you?ve never ever done one wrong thing.

You're coming to me with that soulful look on your face.
You're coming looking like you've never ever done one wrong
thing.

So many fantastic colors; I feel in a wonderland.
Many fantastic colors makes me feel so good.
You've got that pure feel, such good responses.
You've got that rainbow feel but the rainbow has a beard.
