🌟 1969.
🐾 Presenter: "Ladies and Gentlemen, the Jimi Hendrix Experience!"
Jimi: I see that we meet again hmmm.
Yeah well, well, well. Dig, dig, i'd like to get something straight, we ummm we got tired of the experience, and every once in awhile we're blowing our minds too much,
so we decided to change everything around. And a call it 'gypsy sounds and rainbows' for short nothin' but a band of gypsies.
We have billy cox playin 'bass, and um from we got juma playin' congos over there, juma, and we have granny goose,
oh i'm sorry mitch mitchell on drums over there, and we got jerry velez on congos too. You got yours truly on pete whistle,
What me worry? Gives us a minute and a half to tune up ok. Like we only had about two rehearsals so we only have a primary rhythm thing. (Someone in the background). I have mine thank you, baby.

🌟 1970.
🐾 With more overdubs required on “Dolly Dagger”, Jimi returned to Electric Lady with Eddie Kramer and Dave Palmer where additional parts for the track were put to tape.
