[31 January 2022] Are you saying that you served as Ayers' producer, briefly? If you did, then you were *SO LUCKY* , getting to work with him. What was he like? I'm much too young to have met Ayers when he was in his prime, unfortunately. I wish I could have met him. Won't you *please* tell me what he was like?

@@elizabethhann4028 Hello Elisabeth, yes indeed i produced the only , ever solo concert in Montreal of Kevin Ayers paired with Daevid Allen. Working with him was soft and nice . Only one rule : Keep himn fart away from the boose before the concert. He was a nice chap.... but very dark and sad when not under the effect of alcohol. Getting better with wine. It was very particular...because after the concert we wnt in a private home with Daevid and Daevid went to bed soon. Kevin, a friend and me , wrote in the automatic way, poems and Kevin played the guitar on the sofa.... all night.. geeting high oon coke and wine , we smoked too but Kevin didn't like smoking... we went to bed around 6 in the morning . He asked me to find him champagne and Valium around 4 in the morning because he couldn't go to sleep withpout that... i went through the city and never found of course...very sad way to leave him..He felt asleep anyway.... Crossing the border with both of them was quite an experience too... In Burlington to Cannada, imagine Daevid dress like a hippie and Kevin playing drums with his hands on his knees...it took hours. Kevin was thirsty for booze and he was drinking maple syrup by the can.... 3 days very interesting indeed...

Amazing and honest temoinage, Daniel: merci! What year was that? Je me suis débarqué à Montréal en 1978, mais j'imagine que cet évenément était avant,,,,

With those rock star good looks, Kevin shoulda been a superstar. I love his songs.

Ultimate seducer

Do tell!!!

donegidiodabruzzo LUCKY!!!!!

Lucky? Perhaps..but older...I also remember a concert of Kevin (1976??) with Andy Summers playing guitar (replacing Halsall) and still the big Zoot Mooney who was really amazing keyboards player. The fitst band on stage was : Caravan, then Kevin and Soft Machine closing the night !!!

@@donegidiodabruzzo I saw him with Andy Summers and Zoot Money too. Nico was opening.

Got to agree with you. Never liked PF that much after Syd.

1972. I had a bootleg cd of it i bought in 2000. The versions of Lady Rachel and Why Are We Sleeping are the definitive versions. Better than any other live or studio version.

Lost, I guess. I've looked, and can't find it.

Should have seen him ...I regret that . 🎇☮️🎆🌺

@@jackiedykins4412 Saw him twice. First on Bananamour tour and second on Yes We Have tour. 😁

inge schoors t is lang geleden en ik herinner mij dit optreden in de aula in leuven. Ik stond rechts bovenaan en er was nog plaats voor de luidsprekers. Het werd mij snel duidelijk waarom😁. Toch een van de betete concerten. Dank u.

Waarom werd het u snel duidelijk?

@@ytnsanw I know who he is

@@Hal9000ize Your comment was phrased in the form of a question (complete with question mark). I was brought up to believe that when someone asks you a question, it's impolite not to reply. I'm sorry if my good manners offended you.

you can’t appreciate this bc you don’t know about music

Clueless

uh, first off that part is not fusion at all...it's just a bit of open spaciness ala pink floyd if anything. Secondly, you do know ollie and patto was considered fusion of sorts, right? at least a prog or rock version of fusion, not jazz per se. So if you like ollie you cant knock fusion, I mean ollie filled in with Tempest after allan holdsworth left. The term fusion is misused and misunderstood.

Well your analysis is far from supreme and looks like an easy listener, that hasn't got a clue what is talking about...
