Night Bird Flying

[2] Hendrix recorded the piece in the summer of 1970 at his new Electric Lady Studios with drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Billy Cox.

Hendrix used elements of the song's rhythm pattern in jams at TTG Studios in Los Angeles in October 1968.

Hendrix and all involved in the recording were very pleased with the song and it was presented on the opening party of Electric Lady on August 26.

Later, the song was included on Voodoo Soup (1995) and First Rays of the New Rising Sun (1997), which were further attempts to present Hendrix's planned but unreleased fourth studio album.

[1] He added that "[t]he song ends with a rousing, in-studio jam that again finds Hendrix capable of intertwining guitar lines with a dizzying symbiosis.
