It may be amazing.
But they should have taken more time to tune up properly.
My god, sounds like they didn't agree what key the song was in.
(and tempo too...)  :sad:

Jimmy wasn't concerned about such trivial things.  :)

No he was a little Chuck Berry=ish.
I'll play you pay.

At one point his son was playing bass in the band , Jimmy was drinking , a lot . He fell over on stage ,  the band was pretty fed up with him and didn’t make a move . His son lit up a cigarette . About a minute later Jimmy came to , looked around , glared at his son and said “No smoking on the bandstand”

How I hate your rigid, compartmentalized and utterly unartistc view on things, Holländer! In your next life, you'll be reborn deutsch (no, not Dutch). :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

The great Badfinger with - very audibly so - an EB-3.

  This makes me so very happy. Badfinger is one of my favorite bands. I've seen Tommy with Jazz Basses, Nonreverse Thunderbirds even a EB1 I don't think I've ever seen Tommy with a EB3! As Uwe states there is no mistaking the sound. Back in the early 80's I would run into Tommy from time to time and spent quite a bit of time chatting , even got to play his EB1.

Don't know if this has been previously posted here. Alan Lancaster and an early EB-0 with added bridge pickup:
