      @mangalarobertwatling9168 3 роки тому +6

      This concert was recorded in 1968, The Band of Gypsies only existed from late 1969 to early 1970. The song Them Changes was written by Buddy Miles and was the title of his 1970 solo album. It may have been his riff originally or he may have borrowed it for his own song. If you listen to the Band of Gypsies album they also used a riff from Sly and the Family Stone and in later shows Jimi used a Jeff Beck riff to end one of his own tunes. I think there was a lot of borrowing and trading going on all over the place in those days, leading to some fascinating music especially in live shows. Good ear that you caught that one.
