Jimi Hendrix-"Voodoo Chile"
Is there a better drummer" Buddy Miles is amazing on this brilliant and groundbreaking track...such a mind blower...imagine hearing this for the first time in 1968...nothing to compare!!
"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music".

Buddy Miles is a great drummer, he plays those drums pretty loud, but Mitch Mitchell does it for me. He plays on original album version. Mitch had much improvisation, he followed Jimi with drums whenever he was playing and he was, along with Ginger Baker, one of the first jazz-fusion drummers.

Mitch is a great drummer and one of my all time favorites, lp. When in 1968 I first read that Buddy was on the 15 minute Voodoo Chile I was disappointed...but upon hearing it, Buddy's presence on that heavy blues track was just perfect...as was Mitch's on the rest of Electric Ladyland.
Hendrix and the Experience were the best, and nothing later compared.

I agree. Buddy Miles is also great, I saw Fillmore East footage, the b/w one which was released on DVD and he kicked ass. Although that was not the Experience, but the Band of Gypsys (it is a shame that BOG lasted so little, after the disaster at Madison Square Garden, which I firmly believe Jimi's manager drugged Jimi). His manager was such a bastard.

"Ronnie Penque is a bassist, singer and songwriter who has been working in the music industry for over 30 years. Penque is most notably recognized for his work with the current New Riders of the Purple Sage. The New Riders emerged from the psychedelic rock scene in San Francisco, California in 1969. The band originally included members of the Grateful Dead including Phil Lesh and Jerry Garcia. Penque was also lead singer and bass player for Melvin Seals and JGB. Melvin Seals is the keyboard player for the original Jerry Garcia Band. For the last 30 years Penque has worked other New York area bands including Ripple, Stir Fried and Splintered Sunlight out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. When not working with NRPS Ronnie is busy with his band, the Ronnie Penque Band, or doing session work. On November 2, 2010 Penque released his first solo album, titled Only Road Home, on Bayland Records."
Ronnie started his music career as the original bass player in the popular New Jersey Grateful Dead cover band, Ripple. Ripple was formed in 1978. During the Ripple years Penque would also moonlight with other bands like Wig Jam and Splintered Sunlight. After Ripple retired in 2003, Ronnie was asked by keyboardist Melvin Seals of The Jerry Garcia Band to join his band, "Melvin Seals and JGB". Ronnie toured with Melvin and JGB for 3 years as lead singer and bassist. Penque then joined up with Buddy Cage and Johnny Markowski in Stir Fried which led to the reforming of The New Riders of the Purple Sage in 2005. Ronnie and the New Riders play over 100 shows per year throughout the United States and Canada.
If the name Penque is familiar, Ron's uncle the late Romeo Penque was one of the most famous woodwind and flute players in the music industry who was best known for his work with Miles Davis. At age 12 Ronnie was taught to play bass by his father Ron Penque Sr., an accomplished session bass player for 20 years, who gave Ronnie his 57 Precision bass (Dads Bass) upon his retirement. Some of Ronnie's musical influences are The Grateful Dead’s Phil Lesh, NRPS bass player Dave Torbert, Donald Duck Dunn, John Entwistle, Paul McCartney and Jack Casady, among others.
Through the years Ron has also played with many other bands and great musicians including Bobby Weir, Mickey Hart, Vassar Clements, Peter Rowan, Melvin Seals, Robert Hunter, Wig Jam, Splintered Sunlight, Jeff Austin, Neon Gods, Stir Fried, John Popper, Jeff Mattson, John Dawson, Tony Trischka, Pete Sears, Buddy Cage, David Nelson, Barry Sless, Keller Wiliams, Donna Jean Godchaux, Jeff Pevar, Tom Constanten, Michael Falzarano, Johnny Markowski, Mark Karen, Jack Casady, GE Smith, Mookie Siegel, Pinetop Perkins and Tex Logan.
