The dogma surrounding this pandemic and everything associated with it truly amazes me (though it probably shouldn't). Thanks for sticking by your friend regardless.
Bobby Whitlock!!!!! Thank you for another great video. I recently saw a interview with Eric. When they asked him about you, he hung his head a little looking like he was going to tear up. Then lifted his head and said that you were the closest thing to a brother he had ever had. You could see the love that he has for you. Thanks again for the video,,, stay safe and continue being you. You are a good man.
@@stephenfeldman8104 not immediately i was going through UA-cam videos and just ran across it, I didn't save it and don't remember what it was called. I wish I could be of more help.
Harry and I must ve related by love of music I saw that video as well and it is now coming full circle . I hope some of what I am hearing is not true like the people who rode on his shirtail now are not supporting him. Thank you Bobby and Coco and now Harry for spreading the Clapton 💘
The best type of friends never ask for anything. I’m glad you found a peaceful place with your partner to just enjoy life. That is so incredibly generous of Eric Clapton to buy you the rights to your songs back. And you are a true friend not to bad mouth him when, I’m sure the media has twisted his message. At least that’s what I hope they have done….
Bobby you are such a treasure of honesty and wisdom. I had no idea I’d be listening to you speak regularly 46 years ago when I first heard you call / response and yell “Let it Rain” on EC’s first solo album before the Dominos Layla album. My reaction then was “who was that!?” Wow! And now I listen to you and your demeanor and tales of life’s lessons and I am just as wowed. Of course you don’t need the diamond rings anymore, because you are the gem.
Well EC is EC, I following him for 50+ years. I have seen him 6 times since the 70ts . Several things stand out, his versatility on the guitar his singer-songwriter chops, his ability to play with so many people, and of course his getting sober and staying so, are all so positive things to those of us who care.I came and stayed for the music, always will. Y'all are so good about this whole thing with these vids, I have been watching almost since the beginning and you bring us into your home, teach us things and the credibility and honesty shine thru. As ever I learn, thank you both very much.
Thank you Bobby and CoCo, love hearing stories of our heroes like Eric, he is a living Iconic Legend for millions of Fans all over the World and so glad he he is apart of our history. Thank you so much!!
What goes on between Musicians is very interesting to listen to. What was happening at the time etc. For me, the most important thing is the music. Eric along with Bobby, Carl, Duane, and Jim. Made what is probably Eric's greatest work. And thank you Bobby for being part of that time.
Bobby you and Eric have brought so much joy to my life for the last 53 years, gosh can't believe were both still on this side of the dirt, THANK YOU!!!
The way Bobby holds and pets the cat tells you a lot about the kind of person he is. A gentle soul with love in his heart. And animals can sense a human's character.
One of the greatest performances I’ve ever heard is the Dominos playing the Fillmore East in 1970, I have never heard a band flow together so well and play with such a good groove as the Dominos did on those two nights at the Fillmore. I truly think it is the greatest performances by every member of the dominos out of any performance they ever had and I am truly fascinated by the performance and the musical relationship between the band, especially on those nights. I listen to In Concert, and Live at The Fillmore every day and I never get tired. Is there any chance that you could do a video where Bobby talks about those two nights at the Fillmore and how everything went down and what it was like for him. And possibly talk about other dominos concerts since there is unfortunately very little information about them, and quality live recording of the dominos available.
Hi Max, I was only born in 1971 but since I was a teenager I was listening to Derek & the Dominos as well as the whole of EC's career. The Dominos stuck with me, even to this day and I am 51 years old now. Groove, coolness, mood, total heart and soul. I remember buying the Fillmore live vinyl, it was called "In Concert" back then but now its got more tracks on it. Clapton was at his best during this time. People talk a lot about Cream and they sure were great but the complexity, fluidity, motifs in his playing during the Dominos was far superior. It's as if he wanted to engulf himself in the music. Even his singing started to take off during this period. I wish I could have seen them like you did.
@@HughRailey get real, it's because of his antivaxx stance and therefore promoting conspiracy theories and paranoia. Clapton already had neuropathy, he had a reaction to the UK AstraZeneca Covid19 vaccine. It was unfortunate but not unheard of. Clapton is famous and rich. He is misusing his influence in overcoming a pandemic.
@@larryn2682 reporting he is racist , a killer and narcissistic is not the way to attack someone, anyone that speaks their opinion. I disagree with the stance, but to vilify people who disagrees with the popular view seems to be the new way these days.
Maximum love and blessings to this Legendary musician. I advise all his original fans to stand by him. Music took a downer and the bipolar generation don't know true genius. Bless-ed love Eric, Jamaica.
I admire Eric for speaking his mind. I happen to agree with his views on government overreach and the right of human sovereignty. We may have different views but everyone has the right to express themselves. God Bless.
There are predators who will try to take advantage no matter who or what you are Bobby! I just appreciate your music and Eric’s. Thanks and enjoy your life.🇬🇧
Bobby , brother at times you don't give yourself the credit you deserve. You were there you done that I've enjoyed your music for a long time. I hope to hang around long enough to see Coco and you in a live show. Dude I was listening to "bell bottom blues" for probably the billionth time today , man that song still stands up. Where would the Layla album be without you anyways thanks for all the music thru all these years. God Bless you and Coco and I'm digging these videos keep em coming.
When people are not needy, you're more apt to open up and share your world with them... Truer words were never spoken. A lot of wisdom in this one... I had a 17 year long friendship fall apart over a year ago. I was always doing things for this friend. Up to several times a week the phone could ring, asking for a favor of one thing or another. When the love of my life died, I thought he'd understand. But all he was concerned about was whether or not I'd still be like I was before, doing things for him and keeping him entertained. I felt like I had two broken legs, and he just asked me for a piggy back. It hurt a lot... Anyway, sorry to ramble like this. You shared a little of you, so here's a little of me. Yeah, I can relate to a lot of this.
Thank you for your honesty of experience dealing in a material world and your loyalty to Eric Clapton, your true friend. As important you've shown how you dealt with the deceitful ones who delibertately wronged you. You've expressed it is much better to not jeopardize your happiness for the wrongs of others. They have that cross to bare. Your laughter and your joy prove your way is 'The Way'. Bless you Bobby Whitlock you are a most incredible human being Thank you for your words.
1st- Just when I thought I couldn't love, respect and admire you more than I already do, you raise the bar. 2nd- Heard a young and prominent hot-shot L.A. guitarist who's got a quite successful UA-cam channel offhandedly dismiss Mr. C. verbally now that he's 'out of favor' with 'the powers that be' in a live chat this past Sunday. After typing several comments which I cancelled rather than post because they were _way_ too salty, I just had to let it go. But I wish I'd posted the simple honest part of the comment that read: "Without men like Eric Clapton and his peers, you wouldn't have a job description, Cover-King". Thanks for giving me a reason to post it here in an ambiguous manner. 3rd- Thank you, and Eric, and Duane, and Jimi for making me pick up a guitar and learn to play and sing soulfully and with real heart. That gift is invaluable, priceless. 4th- "I Told You I Was Gonna Put You Down" is a song title whose song you need to write in my humble opinion. If you don't, I will lol! I won't really, but dang that was a good 'just fell out of you' line! 5th- Thanks for being the straight-up stand-up cat that you are, love you both, mean it!
What a wonderful conversation. I found this by accident. I totally identify with everything you said. I'm 65, grew up in UK, big fan of Eric Clapton, Layla is an all time favourite. Now I live in NZ, with a home far enough away from everything, I have a good family, material things have no value to me. I have enough life experience to know that none of us are perfect but I can distinguish between a good man who is trying to do his best and a man who sold his soul. We are in a spiritual war, good men will be the target for those doing evil. God bless you both. We all have so much in common, if we ever realise that we can make a better world.
Very intuitive….Very true as we venture down life’s highway…the wisdom we gain…if we’re lucky..to understand..is invaluable..Bobby telling it like it is….trust the one you love…My own brother in law hocked 2 of my Stratocasters…..from my basement …and swore…he didn’t do it..hence a music store friend told me he sold em for …buttons…Obviously…put a big strain..on trust…
Bobby you have more integrity in your little finger than just about anybody in the planet has in their whole body. Despite everything that has happened in your life, you remain true to yourself and your values. Pretty damned impressive.
I was playing Thorn Tree In The Garden the other day in the car when I told my Jenny how I always thought this was the saddest song I had ever heard. Then I told her how it even got sadder when I found out years later that the song was about Bobby’s dog. Looking sharp Bobby glad to hear from you both.🎸🇨🇦
What a good man you are! Thank you for the music and the love you have given the world, Bobby! ❤❤And the story of Eric giving you back your rights to the music is wonderful to hear. And the quote at the end is so very true.
Bobby and Ms. Coco. Thanks for all the wonderful memories on here. Glad you are both doing well I have a saying "Friends don't keep count or keep score. They just go things out of love!". Thats you and Eric. Peace and love!
What a wonderful video….when I first heard the Layla album in 1971 I was immediately blown away, not just by the musicianship, but by the passion within the vocals. I was 8 years old! Today…I still listen to the album and still place bell bottom blues as my favourite song of all time…just for the vocals. For me, no other song ever recorded has come close to your dual vocals on that song…it was made in heaven. The passion you invoked on each and every word sung made one literally feel the anguish ooze through the needle. Awesome!It is so pleasing to hear the mutual respect you have for each other after all this time and it makes me feel very humble to have heard the dominoes so long ago, and how it shaped my future with music. Take care in these perilous times and my v best wishes to you and your lovely wife from the UK.
I hope that this last video about Eric has not caused you both to stop making videos again? Any one who stand up for Eric and others that don’t follow the protocol get banned and or censored. Free speech is under attack, please come back, you both have made a big difference in people’s lives with your videos and music....peace and lots of love
Does my heart ❤ good to hear you speak so kindly of your old friend Eric. Time and circumstance hasn't changed your loyalty to your old friend. Those trying difficult times truly do speak volumes of he we are and who we surround ourselves with. Gossiping writers take pleasure causing pain. God Bless your soul with gratitude. You are living by example not keeping score of those that had taken advantage of your kind nature and innocence. Rise above and be free.
@@mazzysmusic Do you people really believe shit like that? Do you realize how insane that sounds? All you vaccine cucks have lost your minds. You guys should all head over to Africa. You can help the blackses peoples and you will be safe from the super duper scary 99.999 survival rate china virus.
@@mazzysmusic It's worth bearing in mind if obesity, cancer and heart disease were tested and treated as is Covid 19, it would be the end of industry, education, employment, recreation, agriculture, art, &c, &c. We should regard covid 19 as another serious flu. It's here to stay and no vaccine is going to change that.
I thought your last video was the best, but this was so moving,, I love EC,, he has changed my life with a great musical path. The music, his generosity and his big heart. Bobby, your heart and loyalty is commendable!! To support your friend of over 50 years says a lot about you. Thank you again, thank you CoCo, thank you for letting us be part of your life
I have been re-listening to D& D live videos on UA-cam, you guys were incredible, Bobby’s singing and playing the keyboards was outstanding! Eric was in a class by himself! However Having 4 extremely talented musicians together in a once in a lifetime pairing. In the 50 years I have been a fan, I haven’t heard many to compare to the live, spontaneous music you guys put out.
Bobby will always have my respect! There are those who take the low road and pander to the "crowd/mob" and there are those who take the high road of their heart and the truth of which Bobby does!
Your loyalty to your friend, Eric, is heartwarming and a testament to your character. Wish we could stop the divisiveness that seems so prevalent these days. Love the quote at the end! Beautiful kitty. He? was in the mood for some love! (surely that was just a love bite!) Thanks for sharing. Love and peace
Yes, Clapton always gave credit to the great blues players to whom he was indebted and even shared the stage with many of them, such as B.B. King. That is more than you can say for many other rock bands that stole material without giving due credit. You shouldn't be crucified for merely relating a personal experience as he did after receiving the jab twice and having bad effects. These one-size-fits-all approaches to problems are based on fear rather than tolerance and mutual understanding. Having a bad experience with the medical establishment can certainly change your perspective as I know from personal experience after almost dying after a botched gallbladder surgery which caused me to have peritonitis.
Great to see you Bobby. I have been a fan before the Dominos. Your contribution to music is phenominal. I am glad you are happy with your lovely , talented wife who loves you too. Health , Peace, and Love to both of you, and everyone you care for too.
Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 Bobby and Coco we miss and love ❤️ you… Enjoy the day , I have one request Thorn Three in the garden please to my daughter Jessica fighting Co-Vid … ☮️ peace and love 💕
I've been a avid fan since I first heard Bell Bottom Blues. I truly enjoy your stories and perspectives of the history of this era. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you Bobby - you continue to be an inspiration. I was lucky enough to sit at a table (with my mum and dad) next to Eric at a very small private UK event in 1998. He eventually took to the small (school-gym) stage with Andy Fairweather-Low and band and played an amazing set. He even invited Gary Brooker up and he sang A Whiter Shade Of Pale amongst others. Amazing. I found Eric to be a very natural, charming and generous man. Later in the night he was back at the table a few feet from me. I wanted to introduce myself but didn’t know how. After all I was a complete stranger of course. He was with his mum too it seemed, so in the end I decided to respect his privacy. Regretted it later though 😀 I love your work and your channel. The recent Layla Coda vid is brilliant 🙏 You can REALLY hear your ‘feel’ track on those keys.
Eric Clapton has been an inspiration to me while dealing with some difficult losses of people close to me and I also learned to find strength in your true friends and in music. I listened to your commentary in Life in 12 Bars about how he was a tortured soul singing his heart out during the Layla album and that really resonated with me. My band and I cover a few of those songs and I they never get old. Just thought I would share that as well as say thank you for all the great music!
That last 5 minutes was a heartfelt love letter to you Coco. ... amazing how he realized what needed to be done to become happy. Just when I thought he was already an amazing guy he stacks on another amazing layer onto his continuing story.
congrats on a big influence on two of the greatest albums and bands ever assembled.Music is its own reward and listening to the musical stories from the inside is fun and reminds me of sitting around and playing w guys all my life. thx🎼🎼🎼
The owner of the company I recently went to work for is roughly Bobby's age. One day I was sitting in his office waiting for something or other, and he was listening to this UA-cam channel. I hadn't known of it but recognized Bobby's speaking voice immediately, which surprised the boss because I wasn't even born in the 60s. It sparked a conversation about mutual music appreciation and we've became good friends since , and Bobby and his wife are largely responsible for that .
'I was hoodwinked"!...Hav'nt we all at one time or another...?Thanks to the both of you for enriching our lives with your stories and incite to the things that we are interested in...
God bless you Bobby you're just like the music that I have enjoyed from you for decades you're a true beautiful spirit Thorn tree in the garden as always tickled my soul and they hear you talk does the same thing I'm glad to see you're still who you are and who you've always been positively positive man you are beautiful God bless you
Cool....Bobby talking honorably on friend Eric Clapton ....Plus giving the past all up before it all gets stolen , for a magnificently splendid life with his wife the beautiful and amazingly talented Coco Carmel...! 😎🙏
Sounds like this reporter is a cast the first stone kinda fellow. Good for you Bobby.A Freind is a Freind that's all we got in the end & family. Keep on Rocking!!
Such wonderful stuff, thank you both so much for these great recollections...and thank you Bobby for the incredible music, tremendously important in my life for 50 years now. Thorn Tree in the Garden can make me tear up still. ❤️
miss you guys when you'll do not post. but i know this takes time. glad for what you give us. when a man and women love each other thy do not need anything else. love all your stories. good night.
Was going to listen to a church service in my hometown this morning online; but decided to listen to you Bobby. After your interview, I feel like I have been to church!🙏
Thank you Mr. Whitlock (and CoCo) for these interviews and the experience you share with us. I fell in love with music listening to you and Eric as well as the other friends you mention. Thank you for everything, especially for the song „Thorn tree in the garden“ (I've been listening to it for 40 years) I send you greetings from Zagreb, Croatia, and I wish you a lot of good health and music! Ogi
Isaac Tigrett is one amazing man. I worked with him to open The House of Blues. I was the "house sitter" for his private train car when it was in LA as well. Fond memories...Thanks for reminding me!
The world is a better place with Eric Clapton around..
Eric proves to be who he is - a true hero, who dares to speak out.
Bobby and CoCo, thank you so much for all these reminiscences of an amazing life, and thanks s
so much for your beautiful music. Blessings to you. ❤
I can see your friendship, ongoing with eric, is from the heart. Eric Clapton is a true friend, and a lovely man.....🍁
Mis you too, hope we get a Xmas message some time soon , Happy Christmas 🎅🏻
The dogma surrounding this pandemic and everything associated with it truly amazes me (though it probably shouldn't). Thanks for sticking by your friend regardless.

I have a saying "Friends don't keep count or keep score. They just go things out of love!". Thats you and Eric.
Peace and love!
Bobby you are a national treasure integrity and class
What a beautiful soul, thank you Bobby for all of your wonderful music.
What a wonderful video….when I first heard the Layla album in 1971 I was immediately blown away, not just by the musicianship, but by the passion within the vocals. I was 8 years old! Today…I still listen to the album and still place bell bottom blues as my favourite song of all time…just for the vocals. For me, no other song ever recorded has come close to your dual vocals on that song…it was made in heaven. The passion you invoked on each and every word sung made one literally feel the anguish ooze through the needle. Awesome!It is so pleasing to hear the mutual respect you have for each other after all this time and it makes me feel very humble to have heard the dominoes so long ago, and how it shaped my future with music. Take care in these perilous times and my v best wishes to you and your lovely wife from the UK.
I hope that this last video about Eric has not caused you both to stop making videos again? Any one who stand up for Eric and others that don’t follow the protocol get banned and or censored. Free speech is under attack, please come back, you both have made a big difference in people’s lives with your videos and music....peace and lots of love
Does my heart ❤ good to hear you speak so kindly of your old friend Eric.
Time and circumstance hasn't changed your loyalty to your old friend. Those trying difficult times truly do speak volumes of he we are and who we surround ourselves with. Gossiping writers take pleasure causing pain.
God Bless your soul with gratitude.
You are living by example not keeping score of those that had taken advantage of your kind nature and innocence.
Rise above and be free.
I admire Eric for sharing his experience and speaking his mind. Maybe if more folks did we wouldn't be in the mess we're in.
Except we’d all be dead because of his anti vaxx bullshit ✌🏽
@@mazzysmusic how exactly you'd be dead because someone spoke about what happened to him?
@@mazzysmusic Do you people really believe shit like that? Do you realize how insane that sounds? All you vaccine cucks have lost your minds. You guys should all head over to Africa. You can help the blackses peoples and you will be safe from the super duper scary 99.999 survival rate china virus.
Because fighting amongst yourselves is the best way forward.
@@mazzysmusic It's worth bearing in mind if obesity, cancer and heart disease were tested and treated as is Covid 19, it would be the end of industry, education, employment, recreation, agriculture, art, &c, &c. We should regard covid 19 as another serious flu. It's here to stay and no vaccine is going to change that.
I thought your last video was the best, but this was so moving,, I love EC,, he has changed my life with a great musical path. The music, his generosity and his big heart. Bobby, your heart and loyalty is commendable!! To support your friend of over 50 years says a lot about you. Thank you again, thank you CoCo, thank you for letting us be part of your life
Bless both of you guys for what you do. I grew up listening to you et al. You were the soundtrack of my young life
I have been re-listening to D& D live videos on UA-cam, you guys were incredible, Bobby’s singing and playing the keyboards was outstanding! Eric was in a class by himself! However Having 4 extremely talented musicians together in a once in a lifetime pairing. In the 50 years I have been a fan, I haven’t heard many to compare to the live, spontaneous music you guys put out.
True friends are hard to find.
The more people i meet, the more i love my dog. Rock on you 2.
Love that! CoCo
So much WISDOM! 👏🤪😍🤟
I love you Bobby and.e Comoco with all my heart and soul! There are no two finer people on this planet than you two!
Thank you for saying such a beautiful thing
Bobby will always have my respect! There are those who take the low road and pander to the "crowd/mob" and there are those who take the high road of their heart and the truth of which Bobby does!
Great man, love you Bobby…, your music will always be imprinted in my mind…
Your loyalty to your friend, Eric, is heartwarming and a testament to your character. Wish we could stop the divisiveness that seems so prevalent these days. Love the quote at the end! Beautiful kitty. He? was in the mood for some love! (surely that was just a love bite!) Thanks for sharing. Love and peace
That's beautiful Oja, she's amazing in every way.
Yes, Clapton always gave credit to the great blues players to whom he was indebted and even shared the stage with many of them, such as B.B. King. That is more than you can say for many other rock bands that stole material without giving due credit. You shouldn't be crucified for merely relating a personal experience as he did after receiving the jab twice and having bad effects. These one-size-fits-all approaches to problems are based on fear rather than tolerance and mutual understanding. Having a bad experience with the medical establishment can certainly change your perspective as I know from personal experience after almost dying after a botched gallbladder surgery which caused me to have peritonitis.
Great to see you Bobby. I have been a fan before the Dominos. Your contribution to music is phenominal. I am glad you are happy with your lovely , talented wife who loves you too. Health , Peace, and Love to both of you, and everyone you care for too.
17:35 to the end. Very humble kind spirit. ☮
Such a beautiful movement for love and peace 🇺🇸🙏
Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 Bobby and Coco we miss and love ❤️ you… Enjoy the day , I have one request Thorn Three in the garden please to my daughter Jessica fighting Co-Vid … ☮️ peace and love 💕
Wonderful, wonderful insights by one of the greatest musicians and talents! Thanks for the insights into your life and those around you.
Thank you Alan
I've been a avid fan since I first heard Bell Bottom Blues. I truly enjoy your stories and perspectives of the history of this era. Thank you so much for sharing.
You don't hear a lot of musicians knock Eric Clapton.
You just got to love these two people! God has blessed you both
Thank you Bobby - you continue to be an inspiration. I was lucky enough to sit at a table (with my mum and dad) next to Eric at a very small private UK event in 1998. He eventually took to the small (school-gym) stage with Andy Fairweather-Low and band and played an amazing set. He even invited Gary Brooker up and he sang A Whiter Shade Of Pale amongst others. Amazing. I found Eric to be a very natural, charming and generous man. Later in the night he was back at the table a few feet from me. I wanted to introduce myself but didn’t know how. After all I was a complete stranger of course. He was with his mum too it seemed, so in the end I decided to respect his privacy. Regretted it later though 😀 I love your work and your channel. The recent Layla Coda vid is brilliant 🙏 You can REALLY hear your ‘feel’ track on those keys.
Thank you for this post, Bobby. The world needs more people like you. All the best!!
Thanks for this I can't quite believe whats going on and how decent honest people are being treated. Both Legends.
Eric Clapton has been an inspiration to me while dealing with some difficult losses of people close to me and I also learned to find strength in your true friends and in music. I listened to your commentary in Life in 12 Bars about how he was a tortured soul singing his heart out during the Layla album and that really resonated with me. My band and I cover a few of those songs and I they never get old. Just thought I would share that as well as say thank you for all the great music!
You are a true gentleman Bobby a great man and I really appreciate you and your wife and dogs and cats and lol.oh I forgot your music.love that too!
Bobby Whitlock... you got style. Impressive you stand by a old friend.
You're pretty cool Bobby. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Your stories are the REAL treasures!
That last 5 minutes was a heartfelt love letter to you Coco. ... amazing how he realized what needed to be done to become happy.
Just when I thought he was already an amazing guy he stacks on another amazing layer onto his continuing story.
Yes, I treasure every minute with this amazing man. Thank you
congrats on a big influence on two of the greatest albums and bands ever assembled.Music is its own reward and listening to the musical stories from the inside is fun and reminds me of sitting around and playing w guys all my life. thx🎼🎼🎼
The owner of the company I recently went to work for is roughly Bobby's age. One day I was sitting in his office waiting for something or other, and he was listening to this UA-cam channel. I hadn't known of it but recognized Bobby's speaking voice immediately, which surprised the boss because I wasn't even born in the 60s. It sparked a conversation about mutual music appreciation and we've became good friends since , and Bobby and his wife are largely responsible for that .
Oh... that's awesome. Thank you
CoCo
You are a gem, Bobby Whitlock. Anyone who you consider a friend should be well aware of just how fortunate they are to have you in their lives.

Thank you Mr. Whitlock (and CoCo) for these interviews and the experience you share with us. I fell in love with music listening to you and Eric as well as the other friends you mention. Thank you for everything, especially for the song „Thorn tree in the garden“ (I've been listening to it for 40 years) I send you greetings from Zagreb, Croatia, and I wish you a lot of good health and music!

Isaac Tigrett is one amazing man. I worked with him to open The House of Blues. I was the "house sitter" for his private train car when it was in LA as well. Fond memories...Thanks for reminding me!
I remember him when he was part of the opening of the Hard Rock in London which was the hippest spot in town for a while.
