Ladies and gentlemen. The bitter end is proud to present Curtis Mayfield, Curtis Mayfield. Thank you, man, welcome to the second show. Such a song. Thank you, Miley, Miley, Spade and Whitey Mighty Mighty Spade and Whitey. You know it’s funny sometimes, so things seem to get across to country. That is so far in the world, you know we seem to, we seem to be able to do everything, but get along there, even a bit of humour in it when you think of people as I can break it down. A lot of folks think this particular lyric is not appropriate for what might be considered, underground, underground, but I think underground is whatever your mood or your feelings might be at the time, so long as it’s the truth. I think it’s very appropriate that we might have a few words of inspiration about it. Thank you, thank you. If you’ve got something else on your mind at the moment, I’m sure most of you then, I’m sure most of you have probably experienced, probably never really brought up, see what was going on, what was going down to spare and stare. If you ever rode the bus, subways, train, people tend to be by themselves, although there’s a large crowd, maybe this might break it down, you’ll understand, stare and stare folks, keep it up, thank you. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to take time out, just to acknowledge the fact that we do have behind us here some wonderful and beautiful musicians. I’m sure all of you have already noticed by now they’ve been taking me through a change.

No, he said that I didn’t really say that I called him, yeah, hurt the woman, say woo, lucky, Lucky Scott, on bass, I don’t know, I don’t really know why we call him the director. We’ve only got three pieces up here. I think that was his idea to get more money. We’ve had a get into someone else, Curtis Mayfield, ladies and gentlemen. This is a song called Highway Star.

Wanna thank everybody for coming out tonight. Get right down to business, thank you. Thank you. This song’s really special for dad. Thank you. Good evening. Well, thank you, er, for erm, thousands and thousands of emotions that we’ve been going through for the last six weeks together. And finally, we get to this point, for Ahmet to bring Jason in, and the double bass drum pedal, ha ha, this is one we’ve er, this is a first adventure with this song in public. In, er, 1935, Robert Johnsons recorded a song called Terraplane Blues, and erm, and it’s appeared in a thousand different guises since. Well, er, maybe Johnson got it from someone else. I’m sure he did. Everybody nicks it. This is the kind of Led Zepellin Terraplane Blues. It’s called Trampled Under Foot. Erm, okay, so Terraplabe Blues, Robert Johnson, 1936. This next song, it’s been immortalised by Staple Singers, more recently by the Blind Boys of Alabama. Erm, and er, I think we must have heard this from, we were in a church somewhere in Mississippi, in about 1932. And, Blind Willie Johnson was just, er, just before he had his first shot. Piano, John Paul Jones. It’s quite, erm, it’s quite peculiar to imagine, erm, I don’t know how many songs we recorded together. But to think about creating a dynamic evening, choosing something from ten, ten different albums, erm, there are certain songs that have to be there, and er, and this is one of them. Guitar, Jimmy Page. Hey, Ahmet, we did it. Jason Bonham drums, come on, spectacular. Now Jason has, er, I remember er, I can’t remember how long ago it was, but Jason was, erm, was like this big, his mom, his dad, used to sing, they were the best Jimmy Hendrix impersonators in the whole of Worcestershire, and er, lad’s got a great voice. I remember John used to be in a band in Birmingham, and he used to sing The Wind Cries Mary about 400 times a night, and that was how it was, but Jason’s a pretty cool singer too, so we’d like to feature Jason on vocals here now. All of you. What do you think, Dave? Thanks a lot, everybody. Thank you for coming along. And thank you for everybody that’s made this show possible. And all our friends who came along to play on this show tonight. For the memory of Ahmet Urdugen. In the days when Atlantic Records was the most magnificent record company on the planet. Goodnight. Hey, thanks so much. It’s really been an amazing night for all of us. Thank you very much. Oh yeah.
