Short story:

Jimi Hendrix returns from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to New York City, USA. At the Record Plant, he records The Things That I Used To Do, with Johnny Winter on slide and a somewhat drunken Steve Stills on bass.

Full article:

Johnny Winter : I first met Jimi at The Scene. We jammed together there a good bit. What we would often do after the club closed is go over to a studio where he had recording time booked regularly, and play around with things, maybe play for several hours and then, some other day, listen to the tapes to pick out the good parts for ideas to work into songs.

About that time, Jimi was real fascinated with the old bottleneck blues style. So we both went into the Record Plant studios … got the engineer to roll the tapes and we just jammed together. You couldn't show that man anything new. It was a case of Jimi watching how I used a bottleneck when playing. I guess Jimi and I must have played together for at least two or three hours on that day.

Steve Stills : I could barely see. After a while, Jimi leaned over and nudged me with his guitar. Then he literally moved my hand on the bass. I was a fret off … I nearly died of embarassment.
