By the end of 1968, however, there seemed to be a lack of direction in the band. Jimi was spending more and more time in New York and obviously wanted to base himself there. And while there was no real friction, excepting for Jimi’s over self-indulgence in the studio, there was a brief falling-out, so much so that Hendrix wrote an apology letter to both Mitch and Noel. 00:00.
