The Jimi Hendrix Experience dates back to 1966. Chas Chandler, bass guitarist of the British band The Animals, who was on tour with her in America, first learned about the talented guitarist Jimi Hendrix from friends, and then, upon hearing him, decided to realize his dream and create a new band with him. The Animals manager Mike Jeffery supported him in this. The only thing that managed to captivate Chandler Hendrix was his alleged acquaintance with Eric Clepton. After listening to Phone Booth, bassist Noel Redding, the least experienced of the musicians, was recruited. The candidacy of a drummer was considered for a long time, but in the end, out of many, they settled on Mitch Mitchell - he had already played in different groups, although he was self-taught. In October, an onerous contract for musicians was signed with Chandler and Jeffery, also proposed the name The Experience, for five years.

The first concert took place in Paris in the Olympia concert hall. Upon his return to London, Chandler paid special attention to the recording of the author's compositions. He had to sell almost all of his guitars to get the band invited to clubs where the musicians could be appreciated. This is how the single Hey Joe and the song Stone Free with Hendrix's vocals appeared. The turning point came after playing Jimi at the Croydon club and the first gig at the Blaises. Not only Mick Jagger came to the 7 ? club concert, but also Eric Clapton. Hendrix became famous as a musician who broke the idea of ??playing the guitar. One of the much-publicized stunts after the Finsbury Park Astoria performance was setting fire to the instrument. The release of the album Are You Experienced? Turned out to be a triumphant one, which, according to polls, took second place after the famous Sgt. Pepper's by The Beatles.
Then there was a rather successful tour in America and, after the release of Axis: Bold As Love, in Sweden. In the group, a conflict grows between the musicians and Chandler, as well as Redding and Hendrix, who, moreover, showed an addiction to drugs. The golden album of Electric Ladyland is called the peak of creativity and world rock music. In the American version, in order to popularize The Jimi Hendrix Experience, the group's photo was placed on the envelope, while the English version with naked women did not stand up to criticism and hindered sales. After a stellar tour with the new album, Redding and Mitchell leave the band. Hendrix tries to rebuild the team and, along with Mitch, brings in drummer Billy Cox. They perform under the name Cry Of Love. The previous line-up will gather at Jimi's grave in 1970. They will be inducted into The Jimi Hendrix Experience Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in a little over twenty years.
