Shortly after this hopeless session Lee returned to Memphis.
Mitch: The band was a shambles. Apparently, they'd been working for about ten days when I got there, but you'd never have known. We rehearsed up at the house for about a week or ten days. It was probably the only band I've ever been involved with that simply did not improve over that length of time.
Larry Lee: “I don’t know how much pressure the management put on Jimi, to be honest. I just know there was a conflict and that was the reason I told Jimi that I would leave. I was seeing that he was fighting a battle that maybe if I was gone it would be more like what they wanted. They wanted a three-piece group as far as I can gather. The Experience was a hit and a moneymaker for him so I just told him I was gonna leave. He said, 'Well, we'll get a drummer and we'll get back together.' I just came on back to Memphis. I was hoping that that would have taken some of the heat off Jimi."
Billy: "Larry just said, ‘l think I'm probably in the way,' and took it upon himself to leave on good terms. There was just too much bullshit around him to handle. He just decided that he had had enough."
