In the early 1990s I was privileged to sit in for the entire last of 2 sets at the Boar's Head. I was only supposed to play 2 tunes at the beginning of the set. I started to get off the stand, but he called me back, and I played the entire set. I even played lead on "Summertime", and sang.
Unbeknownst to me, a friend asked an audience member with a camera to take same pics. He had a print made, had Humphrey sign it to me, and sent in to me. I was blown away, and so pleased..
I went to see Humphrey and his band a few years ago because I thought it might be a bit of a laugh. What I wasn't expecting was to blown away by the experience but blown away is exactly what I was. To this day; it is one of the best live performances that I've witnessed and is a moment that will stay with me for a long time, if not forever.
Some people just have it, Humphrey Lyttelton was one of those people!

Pete.....you should be very proud that Humph gave you the permission to film his performance - he was a very generous man all his life. Great video.

Thank you 170672346 for your comment. I only wish a few more of the viewers of this video (and also part 2) would do the same.
