A Les Paul luggin' friend from my local town in Ct, Charlie Karp, at 17 went on the road with Buddy for about a year or two, recorded THEM CHANGES with him. We used to go to NYC and see them and hangout when they were at the Philmore...
Not sure why..but Buddy ended up in jail for a period I think between Express and Hendrix Band of Gypsies..or maybe he went to jail after Gypsies..don't really recall the time frame.
But he was an awesome Drummer and Singer no doubt..classic voice....made some great records...
But I don't ever recall a Steel player with him..this clip is quite amazing...
I did find this surfin' around though..

Going slightly off the thread, Thanks for that link, Tony.
I discovered Buddy through being a big Jimi fan. His solid stuff contrasts well with Mitch's more flowing jazzy style. And Billy Cox! A bass machine. How do bassists maintain concentration whilst waiting for the lead man to make his mind up when he'll finish?
I like this one from the `Fillmore` gigs;
Well. That link didn't work.
It's the `Who Knows` track from Buddy's site.[This message was edited by Archie Nicol on 18 May 2006 at 05:07 PM.] |

BTW, this is an interesting period clip, but I have never heard anybody nail "Texas" the way the Electric Flag did on their first album, with Buddy Miles singin', Mike Bloomfield stingin' them licks with his old 59 Les Paul Standard, and that killer horn section belting it out from the back. I saw them at the Boston Tea Party not too long after that, and they just blew me away - I quit piano and started playing guitar, no joke. Went out and got me a violin-shaped Japanese electric guitar and had at it till I could afford my first Fender.  |

Great vid, and if that IS Glenn, TOO COOL.
Tho I'd say no, while hoping I'm wrong.
Any footage of THE unknown legend is a fabulous find. |

I loved the Electric Flag!
Billy Cox is from Nashville, and was playing bass with the Charlie Daniels Band the first time I saw them, before the cowboy hat and fiddle- when they were a blues/boogie band. I was told that, when the Confederate flags started showing up at shows, Billy decided it was time for him to go. Can't blame him. He ran a pawn shop in Nashville for years, but I haven't heard from him in a long time. As I understand it, he and Jimi were Army buddies while stationed at Fort Campbell, KY. |

Glen Ross Campbell is not the Glen Campbell of tv and radio fame.
Another person entirely: http://www.myfirstband.com/FirstBandMisunderstood.html

| Quote: |
| Instead of the comforting curlicues of country, The Misunderstood's Glen Ross Campbell transformed the pedal steel guitar into a bucking, snarling monster of distortion, feedback and whine. Their debut single, I Can Take You To The Sun, is one of the few hippy-era recordings whose power remains undimmed by time, but whose aching fragility ill-equipped it for chart action or the heavier battle about to transform rock. The follow-up, Children Of The Sun, featured Campbell in tougher mood, and fared somewhat better, though not well enough to prevent the group dissolving. |

A couple comments:
Glen Ross Campbell was the first American guy I ever saw with 'long' hair, at the old House of Note in Riverside, CA. He played lap slide
in a local band called 'House of Dirty Blues' which also featured Rod Piazza on harmonica. He went to England with them, and parts of them became 'Juicy Lucy', who put out several albums
in the 70s.
I saw Buddy Miles play drum (one snare) with Junior Brown at the Strawberry Music Festival
in 1999. Sure enough, they did Junior's Jimi medley, as well as 'Them Changes'. Great show. |

| To open an old can of worms, remember John McLaughlin's "Devotion"? Buddy Miles with some great drumming. |
