Jimi Hendrix- Hear My Train a Comin’- Memorial Day 1970- Berkeley CA
At the end of May 1970 Jimi Hendrix performed two Memorial Day concerts in Berkeley CA at which he unveiled unreleased songs, including the portentous “Hear My Train a Comin’ “. He drafted Army buddy Billy Cox on bass as well as an eager Mitch Mitchell on drums, who had lost the Experience gig earlier (at least on paper) through no fault of his own due to the legal dissolution of the Jimi Hendrix Experience a year earlier. Presented in honor of American Black History Month, and in loving tribute to my dear friend Patrick Moore who caught that train to Heaven. –Redbeard
