. . . This person came up to me and said, ‘Oh hello, I’m Jimi Hendrix. I’d like to sit in with the band.’ And I said, ‘Well, people don’t usually do that! But you know, you’re welcome, but you’ll have to ask the other guys.’ Which he did, and he sat in and he blew us all away. I’ve got a (Cream) tape of the next day... Eric was trying to play like Jimi, and failing miserably.
