What was the next gig? I want tapes!!!

It's all about the Wah pedal. Peter Green became obsessed with it after Munich. He tried to use it at every opportunity. Yet he didn't use for those great slow blues songs. Only Hendrix could match what Peter Green was doing with that device at the time. I've heard all of the experimental late 1970 Jimi Hendrix outtakes. "End Of The Game" is on another level. If you listen to that album today, it's makes sense. Forty years ago, they would've tested your sanity, and they did. Yet it's not insane music.
