Mitch collapsed on stage. He was rushed to hospital and it was announced later that he was suffering from appendix trouble.

🍀 1969.
Tinker Street Cinema, Woodstock, NY
There's a disc called "Tiptoes in the Foam" and it has 3/4 of those tracks:
Songs: Sundance // JL13 (including Earth Blues // Star Spangled Banner
Jimi jammed with Jerry Velez, Juma Sultan, unknown local musicians for sax, bass & drums.
Justin Kaye: “The drummer on this gig was my father Randy Kaye. He is not an ‘unknown local musician’. Randy was not a weekend warrior or amateur. He was a true committed artist. Jimi personally invited Randy who was from NYC to come up to woodstock and jam with his new group. Randy lived nearby for a month playing with Jimi among other musicians on a regular basis! Hopefully this helps to clear up some confusion and set the record straight.”
