Buddy Miles dies at 60


February 28, 2008 Buddy Miles, who co-founded and played drums in Band of Gypsys with Jimi Hendrix, passed away Tuesday in Austin. Miles, often decked out in sequined clothes and an enormous Afro, went on to drum on Hendrix's landmark "Electric Ladyland" album before officially joining Band of Gypsys with bassist Billy Cox a few months later. The group's lone self-titled album chronicled a New Year's Eve 1969/1970 concert at New York's Fillmore East, and is regarded by many as one of the best live albums of the era.
