Just said Leon you're sorry Eric if you're listening. 26 in a room in 1968 I mean a date you know seared in the memory and I mean it was an unforgettable moment. Musical history and it was unforgettable for all kinds of reasons I mean it was the farewell concert there are endless myths about why it was a farewell concert one of which is they hated each other well they were antigun isms but in a strange kind of way that made the music more exciting because the 2 were trying to play the other one or one was trying to play the other to write off this. Stage that's what they were determined to do which meant that this extraordinary improvise ation that went on was you know I mean you would find that Ginger Baker drummer would suddenly change the bait to see if the other 2 were awake and they would go with you Jack was the most devious of all Jack would suddenly play the bass line backwards just to see if the other now of course that made for a very exciting improvised that music and to be there on that occasion was in my case as I had more more by luck and judgment I mean we did have difficulties they wanted shelter and color on video and I mean it's almost unimaginable now I mean the video camera was as big as the studio color color television it arrived the previous summer I mean 3 or 4 months before that in the B.B.C. And so these cameras were gigantic You couldn't move them for example so that was and we were only allowed 4 cameras because I was so heavy they thought they go straight through the stage so I said one pointing at Ginger that's OK He's sitting down he confiscate Jack was very well behaved I said Jack that's your camera when you're going to saying your cameras looking straight at you Erik bless his cotton socks he completely forgot so quite a lot of the 1st concert there were 2 concerts on that day entry one pound by the way the can I'll give you those prices. Eric turned his back on the camera so I had to kind of Bravo they've been in the between the 1st set and the 2nd so I said Eric if you turn your back I can't see you because I can't move the camera the chemistry maybe I'm not allowed to move it 2nd he wasn't too but he improved but I mean the play is just.

Look as a group and of course a cool sound which was. A not just British but very much learned and the references Pallies Square you know things like that and when you watch the video I remember the video as a kid and I remember thinking this is one of my greatest songs I've ever heard and I just love the driving bait.
