Review

"Most of the recording sessions described grow into huge, unproductive parties and drug orgies. Redding's descriptions of his early years as a struggling musician are lively, but he has nothing new to add about Hendrix's death, and most of the incidents Hendrix had on the road are already familiar."

"Redding tells you exactly what it was like to be there."

"The most revealing [Hendrix book.] Experience bassist Redding writes affectionately and humorously and brings to life, quite brilliantly, the underground music scene at the time of the Experience's rabid rise to fame."

"Noel Redding's terrific autobiography sets down with self-deprecating wit and graphic recall the whole muzzy business....One of the best rock 'n' roll books, attempting no more, as all the best should, than to admit that, for some hilarious, hideous reason, I WAS THERE..."

Publisher's note

The Jimi Hendrix Experience had one of the most dazzling and sensational careers of any band. Their roller-coaster ride through a schedule of sell-out tours and frantic recording sessions left them crazed with sex, drugs, stardom, and exhaustion; but at the same time they produced some of the most explosive, inventive, and inspired music ever heard.

Annotation

The late bassist Noel Redding's memoir of his years with the Jimi Hendrix Experience is a classic tale of rock & roll, incorporating groupies, drugs, and large-scale financial chicanery. Accounting and hallucinogens don't mix, and Redding and Hendrix's drummer Mitch Mitchell found themselves continually outwitted by the band's co-manager, Mike Jeffery, who functions here as the villain of the piece. It won't be giving too much away to reveal that the musicians end up almost broke. Redding, in common with Bill Wyman, his counterpart in the Rolling Stones, kept a diary of his years with the band, providing many colorful vignettes of life as a late-1960s pop idol, which gives ARE YOU EXPERIENCED much of its contemporary flavor and immediacy. But his obsessive itemizing of arcane financial details (the Hendrix finances are a dizzying maze) reveals the murky dealings beneath the Day-Glo veneer.
