When I saw Cream at the Family Dog in Denver… fall of 67 I think… it looked like his hands were pretty well duct taped. I thought then it might be for blisters, but who knows. Maybe somebody out there can tell us for sure…

Well, more like 55 minutes these days... Is it true that there was a time when stagehands had to wire the drumsticks into Ginger Baker's hands when he was too addled by drugs to hold onto them properly? It's probably an apocryphal story...but I like to think it's true. Just because. Yes, I’ve noticed how Charlie Watts’ meter flips over at 60 minutes. Well, more like 55 minutes these days…

Charlie Watts called the tour the Led Zeppelin tour, because it was the first time they had to play an hour-and-a-half set. Charlie's specific quote "I blame it on Jimmy Page. Led Zeppelin had come to the United States and would do a twenty minute drum solo and endless guitar solos..." (from "According to the Rolling Stones" pg 142) Unfortunately, 1969 was also the year for Brian Jones death and the horrible Altamont concert debacle. You got it!
