Ahh that's a shame, he had a back up bass player who was playing circles around him on a fender jazz - i just assumed he had arthritis or something?? His singing was on the money but not a lot else, even the backup band was mediocre apart from the drummer who was the most entertaining part of it!! I only paid £25 for the actual gig, £30 for the handsigned painting and £20 for the T shirt. Still my favourite player but obviously past it

Glad I have the memories. I saw the Graham Bond Organisation in Quaintways Chester in 1964/5, Jack Bruce playing a diminutive Fender 6 thingy, Dick Heckstall Smith on Tenor, Graham Bond on Hammond B3 and Leslie's also playing two (yes two) Alto's at one stage and Ginger Baker on Drums. At that time in my life it was absolutely amazing stuff, as I had only been playing (badly) for about a year. Saw the TV interview recently, I still like him, Classic stuff. Er he is an old man now but IMO groundbreaking for the time, think Felix Papapaladi from Mountain..
