One of the greatest (and most underrated) drummers in rock history and a member of possibly the most amazing power trio of all time.....

    totally underrated - listen to his work on "Fire" his drumming is absolutely incredible, probably didnt get the credit he deserved because of the legend playing in front of him but, the man deserves some serious praise
    9/1/2000 - E-Centre, Camden, 'Sometimes' started and I was hooked...

    'Fire' is an excellant example of his fine work. This trio was way ahead of it's time.

    I was alone and far away when I heard the band start playing!

    ...I was always a DeadHead, but when I first heard Winston Rodney, aka the Burning Spear, sing, I became a SpearHead too!

    When I get home I will upload the version of "Hey Joe" from Winterland. IMO Mitch's finest hour. Of course, I won't be home until Monday or Tuesday, but I'll get around to it.

    RIP Mitch.

    Jimi is on FIRE in this version too. Probably my favorite Hendrix tune/jam/anything. Total money.
