I think Noel wanted to become
a lead guitarist for a start.
:57:03
Noel was the first one to leave.
:57:06
He was the first one
ever to leave the band.
:57:08
And then, well, Mitch stayed.
Mitch was happy.
:57:13
But then it went in a weird way.
:57:15
It went like, Jimi started bringin' in
all these musicians...
:57:19
...like his old Army buddy, Billy Cox.
:57:22
Then he brought up, I don't know...
:57:25
...a conga player and another guitarist.
:57:28
That was when we did Woodstock.
Up at that house...
:57:32
...there was all these colored guys.
:57:35
It was a really strange atmosphere.
:57:38
If he had a group of people
that he didn't have to tell what to play...
:57:43
...it'd have been another kind of sound,
the kind he was lookin' for.
:57:47
Somebody thinkin' for himself.
:57:49
That's the difference between
the marketing of commercial music...
:57:54
...and music of true expression.
:57:56
He was tryin' to spread a little joy
and love together, to show the world...
:58:00
...that the end is not yet.
That I got to take you higher.
:58:05
Not over some cocaine or...
:58:07
...a piece of grass or some heroin.
:58:11
But Jimi was gonna take 'em
higher than that!
