The Jimi Hendrix Experience, formed in London in 1966, featured legendary guitarist, singer and songwriter Jimi Hendrix, Noel Redding on bass guitar and Mitch Mitchell on drums. They were hugely influential in the development of hard rock and psychedelic rock during the late 1960s and made three landmark albums before Redding left the band in the summer of '69.

He could get a hell of a tune out of it though!

Coincidentally I was listening to a recording of the 1970 Isle Of Wight festival earlier today for no particular reason.

Not one of his best performances that's for sure.

You can pay a visit to Jimi Hendrix's house now, at 25 Brook Street, London, right next door to George Frideric Handel's pad. Both open to the public, and furnished just as they were when their owners lived there.

For a while Jimi also lived in a flat owned by Ringo Starr in Montagu Square, which was also occupied by John Lennon and Yoko Ono later on (they posed naked for the cover of 'Two Virgins' in the front room in '68). I can't hear Jimi's version of 'All Along The Watchtower' without thinking about that ratty old Mk2 Jag in 'Withnail & I'... Villain
