The Oklahoma Daily ‘Hendrix Gives OU Rare Performance’ - review by unknown:
“..... What was impressive about the show were their jams. Jimi and the Experience are one of a very few groups that have mastered this art. It is really a joy to hear Jimi take a single note on his guitar and glide all around it and then move to a different note and then relate the entire sound. With Mitch and Billy giving a solid foundation and occasionally taking a little initiative themselves the sound they lay down is one of the best in rock music…..”
