Good point. John did seem to be following things perfectly well, though.
Everybody laughed at his comment about TOMMY (the movie).

Roger was out to lunch. ;) It WAS very dark in the back though, and they
were on a lit stage, so likely they did have a hard time seeing anything.
I'd suspect they like to know who they're talking to, as Pete apparently
recognized Ira Robbins (and knew exactly who he was).

He's been doing that all along. They may yet decide the whole idea of a
studio album is rubbish.

850 wasn't it? You'd figure most of them could easily be developed into
songs. Plus they mentioned that a song might happen on stage at any time.
I don't think they lack for material.
