We didn't get mention on the ticket or the advertising but we did open the show. It's a good thing too because the promoter forgot to supply a p.a. (we took care of that) Freddie was ok, tho a wee bit inebriated, but McCoy was just like God. He had a young Wilby Fletcher on drums and an orgasmic Guilherme Franco on percussion. Guilherme asked if he could use my new LP conga and tumbador, and I excitedly agreed, then he beat the shit out of them with sticks. No damage and it sounded really good. It's the first time I saw a percussionist spread out all his stuff on a large picnic blanket.
