:38:02
I think it came about because
Jimi threatened us both in a way.
:38:06
But at the same time
he also entertained us both.
:38:09
Chas Chandler, having found Jimi,
seen his potential as a guitar player...
:38:14
...said to himself, "What do I need to do...
:38:18
...to make a practical musical unit
around him?"
:38:22
And then we had a jam session
at one club in England, you know...
:38:27
...and that's how Mitch,
Noel, and I got together.
:38:31
Noel comes down expecting to play guitar,
you know. He was tryin' for the Animals.
:38:36
I dug his hairstyle,
so we asked him to play bass.
:38:40
The opening night of some
terrible discotheque, you know.
:38:43
It was when discotheques
were all the rage.
:38:45
And there were a few people.
:38:49
I went down with Marianne.
:38:54
He was just amazing.
I mean, he was just amazing.
:38:58
Blew my head completely off.
:38:59
I was surprised to get this call
from London, England.
:39:02
I didn't know who that'd be comin' from.
And here, Jimi said:
:39:07
"Well, Dad, I think I'm on my way
to the big time."
:39:10
He said, "I'm over here in England now...
:39:14
...and they are building up a group
around me."
:39:17
And he said, "I'm namin' it
the Jimi Hendrix Experience."
:39:21
So I said, "Good for you."
:39:24
"Just keep your nose clean
and keep in there wailin'."
:39:30
Hey, fantastic sounds!
:39:32
Real psychedelic sounds
from the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
:39:35
The boys have got a new one out
on March 17...
:39:37
... and this one will take the market
by storm.
:39:40
So, let's hear once again,
the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
