He cemented his place in my hall of respect when we saw him play with Wilco Johnson at the Tram Shed in Woolwich: he and Wilco continued to sound like a five-piece band even while he broke a string on his bass and had it rethreaded while he carried on. THAT is fucking rock and roll. Nuff respect to the roadie who re-threaded a new string while he played on, obviously.

Guys who can really play and clearly enjoy doing it, even in their 60s and 70s. I can't imagine how exciting this gig with Wilko must have been - this is such a fantastic clip, thanks for posting.

Love Wilko! He wrote in his memoirs that as much as he loved the band, he found his "three chords and the truth" style hard to reconcile with the more complex arrangements “For quite a while it was difficult for me, they were doing all these augmented chords and things...Sometimes, when we started playing live, it would get to bits in the song where it was a little bit beyond me and I would just turn down my guitar and mime. The thing is with a big band…keep a determined expression on your face and nobody knows.”
