Special guests include Robby Krieger, guitarist of the Doors, Rolling Stones veteran guitarist Mick Taylor and Hubert Sumlin, the Mississippi-born guitarist who worked with both Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters. Most remarkably, Mitch Mitchell (drums) and Billy Cox (bass), the same Jimi Hendrix Experience rhythm section that played behind Hendrix at Woodstock will be featured. Native American band Indigenous and Eric Gales, the Memphis guitarist who is heard on the Power of Soul Jimi Hendrix tribute album will be on hand for the Experience Hendrix tour. Various combinations of these artists perform such Hendrix signature songs as "Purple Haze", "Hey Joe", and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" and are sure to make the concerts very special events for both new and veteran Hendrix fans.
