:43:26
Thank you, man. Thank you very much.
:43:28
Where was he, England?
:43:30
Some place in Europe.
:43:31
He stayed there for a couple of years,
and then he got pretty famous, you know.
:43:35
I still hadn't heard about him.
And then he came back.
:43:38
Then he came back lookin'
very prosperous.
:43:41
I said, "Damn, Jimi,
where did you go, man?"
:43:47
He used to talk a lot about the things.
:43:50
Like, "All of sudden, here I am,
a star now."
:43:52
It was new and exciting and fun.
We were really enjoying ourselves.
:43:56
We were hangin' out and gettin' stoned.
:43:58
We were dancing seven
out of seven nights a week.
:44:01
We went to lots of gigs.
:44:04
It was the beginning of the rock affluence
that was shared.
:44:09
The money began to move
into other areas.
:44:12
It wasn't just the stars
who were spending the money.
:44:15
We were all spending the money.
:44:17
He spent his money. He spent his money...
:44:21
... as carelessly as anybody's
supposed to spend it.
:44:24
Murray the K had a radio show then,
and he said, "I'm gonna play...
:44:28
...the new Jimi Hendrix album."
:44:30
And he played it.
We heard this guitar player...
:44:33
... who was doing everything
that was possible.
:44:36
I mean, it was just amazing.
:44:37
I always figured he would make it.
I always figured that, well...
:44:41
... maybe he'd be playin' cabarets
here and there.
:44:45
But I didn't know he gonna make it
so world-wide like he did.
:44:50
This child ain't did nothin' that great,
you know what I mean?
:44:53
He said, "No, they really dig me.
And I got this really nice album."
:44:57
"I got two cats that play with me
and everything."
