Look at all those french lovelys sitting around, this must have made the hairs in their armpits stand on end... Great clip.

I love this! One of my favourite bands - Robert is (was) a phenomenal drummer, but Phil Bill and Dave are all brilliant too. No wonder Phil Miller can play those tricksy guitar runs, d'ya see the size of his hands?
-
I love MacCormick's bass work and that sound!
-
McCrae did play organ on certain Matching Mole songs, although it was mostly as an addition to his electric piano work. . You can hear it on Nan True's Hole, Gloria Gloom, and Starting in the Middle of the Day We Can Drink Our Politics Away.

Rather surprising to see MacRae playing organ, I thought he was mostly e-piano man. Looks like MMole rarely attempted setlists with proper vocals, save for the September 7th 1972 performance, one of the few times Gloria Gloom was ever played with lyrics. But Wyatt's scat solo (that mask is quite an over the top antic innit?) more than makes up for the lack of lyrics.

@stereom He's playing organ in this case because its not his instrument. In fact, Bill MacCormick notes from his dairy entry on this session that besides the guitars, none of the equipment was theirs. I guess they borrowed it from Peter Brown's band, who played first
