Elton Dean is great at comping on the Fender Rhodes

I think there might be a lesson in here somewhere; announcing this tune prior to start, the speaker notes Allan hadn’t played this tune, didn’t know it. Well, it didn’t keep Allan from playing the best bits in the song, including his solo! Ouch! AH was, is, continues to be, the most original, most competent guitarist, musician I’ve ever personally experienced, with zero competitors, nobody even remotely close! It seriously defies belief, just how amazingly gifted AH was...
