I really like this entry. Many of you have written alot of great things to think about in this thread.

I was there. I am so grateful for being able to experience that time. Grew up in L.A., saw Hendrix 5 times. The 69 and 70 Forum show, I too was "tripping" on acid.
I believe it had alot to do with just expanding your conciousness through drugs; LSD particularly, and being open to embue whatever came to you, letting it take you wherever your mind and body wanted to go...becoming "one" with it all and "watching the sunrise from the bottom of the sea"

Man I remember ditching school, dropping acid and laying down on the ground, putting our stereo speakers next to our ears and playing Hendrix records all day.
I will tell you one thing, I have a couple of recordings that we did being stoned out of our minds on acid and to this day, wonder how I came up with some of the stuff that came out of my fingers and my being when I had nowhere near the technique that I had later on. I would say that I too "HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCED"
