Another great chat! Kevin's got a great laugh btw. Others have already called it about Jessie Ed Davis. Didn't he also play on "Fame" by David Bowie along with John?
Thank you Otis, another gem, got to join with the others and give a mention the wonderful Jesse Ed Davis, the other guitarist, who was brought in as cover for Clapton. Stand out track has to be 'While my guitar gently weeps',
Afternoon Otis, Kevin is a blast along with his "Roadie Stories" thanks Otis and thanks Kevin for sharing these experiences with us. The Concert For Bangladesh always brings back great memories for me. Of course I wasn't there,"tisk, tisk" But I was there for it's release in the theater's. Back in 1972 I believe. Now there was no theater in my little home town when I was growing up. But about twelve miles up the road in another town there was. I had just started driving about then and drove up to see it. I had discovered it was playing there at the last minute and as a result couldn't lasso anyone to go with me and went by myself. Wasn't many folks there and I set in the center right down front by myself, felt like I was right there with them, it was great as I had rarely been to an indoor theater. Now to the drive-in that was a totally different went there all the time. My favorite was "Beware of Darkness" with Leon. Hell I was only 17 years old, it was a big deal to my young ass. I only went to that theater a couple more times total. First I saw The Concert for Bangladesh, I believe it was first. Anyway order aside the other two I viewed there was a movie called "Friends" which Elton John done the soundtrack to & "Maude & Harold" which Cat Stevens did the soundtrack to. How great is that? Thanks again for shaking my memory bank...PLH-ELB
Some memorable stories here. These interviews give us a peak into what was going on behind the scenes. There probably isn’t too many folks left that could tell us these stories. I am a big fan of documenting history, it helps to explain things.
I think we can all relate to Kevin's remark about only remembering the things that didn't go right. I know in my life the days where everything sailed by just as they were supposed to are lost to me now but the few that went exceptionally well I remember and even more I remember the ones that didn't. Just as with everyone else on here I have been blown away by these stories and by how cool Kevin is. Thank you for letting us sit in on them.
Badfinger are all over George's work , all those massed acoustic guitars on All Things Pass , makes sense he would have them doing the same thing at the gig
Ah, the unions! Back in my younger gigging days I once got a pretty strong scolding for attempting to run an extension cord at some little gig we were doing. Only the union guys could do that. Roll out and plug in an extension cord. Another fun video - thanks!
Nice stories by Kevin- I was at the late show, brings back memories to me of waiting all night outside MSG for the box office to open to buy tickets and of course memories of the concert!
Heard Kevin mention Wishbone Ash. My gosh I had completely forgotten about them. I downloaded Argus. Underrated band, dam good music . Thank you so much , great music, I haven't heard since 1972. I was 14, lmao
I just google'ed the concert ticket price ~ $7.50 for general admission. Was expensive for the early 70's? I'm guessing if minimum wage was $1.50, then yes it was.

What's your favorite performance from The Concert For Bangladesh?
My sweet Lord.
If not for you with Bob and George is also great.
Here comes the sun.
It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry
When Leon comes in on Beware of Darkness
Jim keltner, Tulsa native, good guy, good musician, glad this interview mentions him
Jesse Ed Davies is alredy mentioned but we cant have to much of him! So i'm gonna write it any way!
Great video! Can we hear more about him roadie-ing for Derek & the Dominos???
Again, excellent. Thanks Otis! (Guitarist: Jesse Ed Davis)
I'm really ashamed that I couldn't think of him while I was sitting there, but it popped in my head as soon as I got in the taxi. : )
Jesse ed Davis was a beast on slide guitar! Listen to Taj Mahals Statesboro Blues!
I was listening to Taj Mahals first album this morning at work.
He worked with everyone in the 70’s. Personal favourite is the solo on Gene Clark’s “Life’s Greatest Fool”. Perfection 👌

Thank you for bringing Kevin to us, Otis! These segments are rich in history and delightful!

Love it. I can't say enough how much I've enjoyed Kevin's stories. Thank you Otis.
First I heard that Badfinger roadie, Nicky Bell, helped out at the Bangladesh concert. I’ll have to ask Joey Molland about that.
Badfinger are all over George's work , all those massed acoustic guitars on All Things Pass , makes sense he would have them doing the same thing at the gig
These Kevin videos just keep getting better and better.
Love these stories, thank you, Otis!
Otis Gibbs

Kevin, were you in the studio for the making of Abbey Road too?
i think Jesse Ed Davis was the other guitar player?
And did he mention Clapton?
Just knowing about the high-hat he knows ✌️peace and Love Ringo is 🙏
Thanks Again Otis ... Gotta Love Jesse Ed !! Jimmy ....
I'll take a guess and say George's big blonde Harptone jumbo guitar also came from Manny's...
You can't help but love this guy
Kevin's laugh is so heartwarmingly fun...
My sweet lord and jumpin jack flash!
