‘Jimi Hendrix and his "experience" the most absorbing thing seen on a Swedish pop stage’
“As the group has received only good reviews, the expectations were high. Many believed there would be a fiasco, like with so many other English groups. But it can be said that the group was among the most interesting and absorbing ever shown on a Swedish stage. [...] They are full of different sounds, and that is absolutely not to cover up any possible flaws. You just couldn't find any. The drummer was superb, as was the bass player. Together with Jimi's guitar playing of the highest quality, they produced a sound, which never before had been heard in Sweden. The Experience showed an unreal quality. And the audience really showed its appreciation. After the final song ‘Wild Thing’, the crowd stood up and applauded. The stage act was centered around Jimi and he really made his best … left handed. The show was really wonderfull and the guys were really funny. They showed a great sense of humour and they didn’t seem the least big-headed, because of their enormous success. Drummer Mitch Mitchell, who, by the way, has played with Georgie Fame, was interested in everything to do with Sweden. He was somewhat disappointed in the Swedish press, which writes about Jimi all the time and forgets that the group is a group and not a solo artist with a support band.
