I remember one time we was walkin'
towards Eighth Street.

1:04:04
I was tellin' you this the other day.
1:04:06
And, Albert, we were rappin'
about a few things, you know...

1:04:09
...that were wrong with the studio.
1:04:13
So, there was this guy
sellin' Black Panther papers.

1:04:16
He said, "Black Panther, brother."
You understand?

1:04:18
So, I was walkin' by, because my head
was somewhere else at the time.

1:04:23
My head was probably involved
with my music.

1:04:26
But Jimi picked up on it,
picked up on our vibes.

1:04:29
So the first thing he did was
he bought the paper.

1:04:31
- First thing, right.
- So, Albert and I looked at each other.

1:04:36
So the guy said, so the Panther said,
"Oh, wow, brothers!"

1:04:40
"Jimi Hendrix buyin' a paper,
Black Panther paper, and y'all not?"

1:04:44
So, we say, "Yeah, well, Jimi Hendrix
bought a paper 'cause he wanted a paper."

1:04:49
"We don't." But then Jimi looked at us...
1:04:52
He looked at us as though the reason
he bought the paper was to impress us.

1:04:57
Mitch and I had left.
We went back to England and Jimi got...

1:05:01
...that Band of Gypsies thing together,
Buddy Miles, Billy Cox.

1:05:04
And Mitch and I completely missed out
on all that.

1:05:07
And we sort of just hung out.
1:05:12
Next thing you knew we was really,
really close. I mean super close.

1:05:16
We was runnin' together, you know,
goin' down to the scene in New York...

1:05:21
...jammin' and, you know, seein' everybody
and just havin' a good time.

1:05:27
And then just all of a sudden just...
