Hmm... I'll have to listen to my LP, but Pete himself related this
story about falling asleep during WGFA.  Apparently he came out and
did Drowned and Pinball Wizard and then there was a gap while other
musicians did their thing before he came out to play WGFA with
Williams (perhaps it wasn't williams, but I'm fairly certain it was a
duet with another guitar player).  During the break, Pete was drinking
Cognac backstage and getting blasted.  I remember this story
distinctly at the time Secret Policeman's ball came out, but I will
double check.....
