McCartney,Townshend,Gilmour,Rockestra-Lucille live 1979 supergroup

Rockestra is a supergroup of famos musicians like an orchestra only for rock including Eric Clapton,Ringo Starr,Billy Joel, : Denny Laine, Laurence Juber, David Gilmour, Hank Marvin, Pete Townshend (guitars), Steve Holly, John Bonham, Kenney Jones (drums), Paul McCartney, John Paul Jones (pianos), Ronnie Lane, Bruce Thomas (bass), Gary Brooker, Linda McCartney, Tony Ashton (keyboards), Speedy Acquaye, Tony Carr, Ray Cooper, Morris Pert (percussion), Howie Casey, Tony Dorsey, Steve Howard, &Thaddeus Richard (horns).

Most of the Rockestra wore silver suits for this performance. On the Concerts for Kampuchea home video before the song "Rockestra Theme' is played, Paul can be heard making a comment about Pete Townshend before playing the song, making reference to Pete being a "poof" (gay in British slang). "Thank you, Peter. Only lousy sod who wouldn't wear the silver suit. Cuz he's a poof." Pete obviously refused to wear a silver suit, and made comment about it in several interviews following the performance.

Lawrence Juber can be seen walking up behind Pete after Paul's comment, and placing a silver top hat on his head. Pete quickly grabs the hat and flings it into the audience.

Nice to see this again, but cannot find Clapton in here to save my soul......or yours. Help!!!

my mistake- Clapton wasn't part of rockestra- e was part of something else- its Gilmour who was there

[Marie-Alix Grenier]

[4FabBEATLES]

thanks! I actually got to meet and get a autograph from one of the guitarists here, who was Paul McCartney's guitarist and part of this "Rockestra" and played lead on the song "Rockestra Theme" that was performed later in this concert by the all Starr Rockestra'. he won a Grammy Award for it, and rightly so. He said it was amazing to have played with all those legends
