As for the precociously talented Simon Phillips, think he was only 18 when he was playing with 801 and despite his youth he certainly wasn't afraid of showing his technical talents. Er, can't help but wonder if he'd got a 2nd bass drum as a coming of age present though 'cos he can't leave the bloody thing alone on that live disc ( don't think he was a stranger to the odd Billy Cobham record either ) !


I saw him with Jack Bruce at the New Victoria in what was 76 or early 77 and they had that full-on Lifetime approach as a rhythm section. He could swing and play rock too but he had definitely been listening to the early jazz rock chaps and could overplay with the best (and worst) of them. I think there is a BBC In Concert knocking around from that tour that was broadcast in quad (!). I have a bootleg of that but not an official release. Good version of Out Into The Fields.
