John Martyn telling Danny Thompson to “put that f*cking silly violin down” on “Live at Leeds” after an observation on Ravel’s Bolero being designed solely for accompanying the sex act.

'Martin on Marimba....... hooray..!!!!!'

Live Bursting Out has some great between song banter from Anderson, makes the album in many ways.

 

There's the big intro of David Palmer's lofty qualifications followed by 'Oh he's gone for a p*ss' then after the next song 'Ah, David's back...... Did you give it a good shake?'

 

following a slightly lukewarm response from the audience introducing what would have been a new song Anderson says  'That alright....don't strain yourselves'.  Wonderfully dry stuff.

A lot of Ian Anderson corkers I could mention, few of them from actual live albums. Here's one: "The next piece is a vegetarian song. It contains deep, significant, meaningful comments about ecology and the environment... It's really f**king boring."

"Now to lay to rest any ugly rumours that John Glascock is a kinky bastard who like being thrashed severely across the bum, we'll do it only very slightly in the next song."

Captain Sensible - Live At The Milky way is full of his points of view, some particularly with reference to Elton John and David Sylvian (Japan). It's also contains a great version of Neat Neat Neat with superb bass player Paul Gray (who was in Cap's band then) playing a corking bass solo in it.. to which as a laugh, Captain decide to edit it out for the recording release 😅

The bass solo is in Wot and it's still there.
