I saw this lineup in Hemel Hempstead, and Etheridge was on fire...awesome!!

Was there, balcony seat, terrific, what memories! Brings tears to the eyes. Genius in his field. Couldn't agree more. Thanks.

@Purrete Would rather listen to Miles, thanks.

Besides genius, Stephane was also physically lucky: at 70 he looks excellent, slim and trim like a teen. His musical wit didn't decrease from his paramount of 1938 at all and he still has the stage presence and charisma of an artist that will go into history among the greatest.

BTW, being that he spent his life in the jazz scene, no use of drugs whatsoever! Is it a sign of delegitimizing talents of Bird, Billie, Miles, Monk and many others who could only function under influence?

I saw them in Sheffield on this tour. Wonderful evening.

... and to think, back then he still had 27 years of music ahead ....mind blowing....

how old Stephane and how young John Etheridge look in 1978....strange.Time does zoom by quickly !

Hey, Jonno, don't confuse the punters. Diz hardly plays on this vid - the "virtuoso"is John Etheridge. Check out some of the other Diz Disley vids to see how versatile he is...
