With every album he makes topping the charts, Hendrix's music constantly moves into new areas. What's next? "I would like to some day play a note and have it come out as a color. With lights and films, it's not so far-fetched as it sounds. That'll be the total experience been known to smash his instruments all over the stage a la The Who. Hendrix explaines: "It's a love-hate relationship just like you feel at times when your girl friend starts messing around.

You can do it because the music and -the instrument can't fight back."

THE JIMI Hendrix Experience will take place Saturday night at Cobo Arena and it could be one of the few recent attractions to make a dent in the hollow. Around the country, Hendrix has been a sell out. He has also been terrifyingly exciting. In Miami last week 45 special police and 40 male ushers were on duty for Hendrix's psychedelic hysteria. Critics have called the Experience "ugly," I a "suggestive," "obscen "violent" and the Daughters of the American Revolution once said that Hendrix was "too erotic" and caused his show to be closed.

"Our music is getting uglier," says Hendrix, "but so are the times. We aren't living in Blue Danube times, now are we?" Hendrix paid his musical dues in the back-up bands of Little Richard, B. B. King, Sam Cooke, Solomon Burke, Chuck Jackson, Ike and Tina Turner, King Curtis and that galaxy of rhythm-and-blues artists. SINCE OCTOBER of '66 when the Experience was formed in England, Hendrix has become the darling of the alienated, the underground's prince of darkness, and the RESERVED SEAT TICKETS NOW AT BOX-OFFICE OR BY MAIL NEW TEAR EVE 7:30 and 10:30 NO ADVANCE IN PRICES Box OfflMl Otwn Dally Noon to 9 BY BOB TALBEKT Free Press Columnist Jimi Hendrix is a shawl-wearing, bolero-jacketed, Spanish-hatted, fire-breathing, guitar-eating, sex-symboling reflection of his times and the angry, uptight world of violence at every level.

Jimi Hendrix is also a soft-spoken 23-year-old part Indian, part Negro (his grandmother was pure Cherokee) who has inherited the music rebel mantle from the Beatles who got it from Elvis Presley. The Jimi Hendrix Experience as his shock-it-to-you concert is called is currently turning more people on around the country than the combined kilowatts of the Edi son companies. Describing what Hendrix does on stage is like trying to explain to someone what it's like in the middle of a hurricane. It's better experienced, than described. You begin with the blues.

The hairs on your neck -stand up blues. Now add drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Noel Redding, a pair of jazz-rock English mods. Put them in front of 12 giant amps containing four dozen huge speakers. Then be prepared for anything, and count on it being LPtt Tickttt aha viUblt J. Hudton, Sun (torts, and AAA brtnehtt.

"I'm like Dylan, says Hendrix. "Neither of us sings in the accepted sense. We just be ourselves."
