is this the only footage of them live? thanks for posting

[testaferro]

Not sure but I dont think so. At least official footage. They only lasted 2 years, and 2 albums, being the second one so unsuccessful.

However, If Im not wrong, they played as openers with the JH Experience so there could be some interesting bootleg footage out there =)

Glad you liked it

I seem to remember there being 2 more numbers from this gig they had at the beat club. Do you know where they could be?

[testaferro]

"Magic Forest" and "Naturally", I think... I haven't seen the latter but Ill try to find it and upload both performances.

Thanks for your comment!

@darthboba11 Mitchel played in a collaborative band in late 1968 called "The Dirty Mac,"..also played in session work with Miles Davis for the famed album Bitches Brew, along with John McClaughlin, the famed folk blues guitarist who went on to form Mahavishnu Orch. and Shakti............

@testaferro Fat Mattress was part of a plan that "The Experience" (commonly known as the JH Experience) had to continue their musical careers. Jimi had "The Band of Gypsies" Noel "Fat Mattress" and I can't remember the drummer's Mitch Mitchell's band.

GREAT FIND!

FM opened several times for JHE. And Redding was good songwriter too. This is good!

I'm reading Noel's book and decided to stop in for a look. Hmm, not bad. Better than I expected. It's weird seeing Noel in his prime right in the middle of it in perfectly crisp clean video.

I think this is actually spooky tooth

Is the lead singer the dude from the Jimi Hendrix experience?

[AK2927]

Seventies (or late Sixties) drumming - great! Economical and tight - just look at that little break about two and a half minutes in. Nothing showy, no big gongs or climbing onto the kit - less is more.

@TheHeliumkid He was a wag, wasn't he?
