Yes we have been talking about Mitch on other forums.

Bye Mitch..Thanks for the music. You were part of the most mind expanding music to blossom in the known universe. For those of us who were there, there was nothing like it...

Subject: [CWSG] RIP Mitch Mitchell (and the JHE)




If you hadn't heard, Mitch Mitchell died yesterday, after finishing the last show on the Experience Hendrix Tour.

Gov't Mule last nite opened their show with "If 6 was 9" in tribute to Mitch. Mitch was a huge talent, and the perfect foil for Jimi, and the perfect complement. Sad to think though: this is the FIRST of all the great rock acts to be totally deceased. Sad, and sobering.

Here's a link to very clean footage of early early JHE, with some nice camera work on Mitch: his technique seemed so joyful and effortless....
