At least he went out like a legendary rock ‘n’ roller, that lovable afro-sportin’ wild man of 60s rock.

So sad that there's no more experience left. Amazing trio, way ahead of their time.
Mitch was a great drummer, the fact that he was still drumming for the band of gypsies (predominantly a black group) is testament to that. I preferred him to buddy miles.He does a great solo in the woodstock concert, I think with his bare hands
- buddy miles was solid at keeping time, but all together just an average drummer.7point34
- buddy was great as well, just a different sort of drummer. Mitch challenged jimi, where buddy let jimi soar...TheBlueOne

I feel bad I didn't even know Noel Redding was dead. I remember him on Howard Stern about 10 years ago.
Mitch was a great drummer, but never part of Band of Gypsies. That was Jimmy, Buddy Miles and Billy Cox.
Mitch returned to Jimi after Band of Gypsies with Billy Cox on bass. Jimi and Noel had a falling out.
