    Did they join each other on stage for a song? I would give anything to hear the conversation they must have had. I guess will never know.

    I guess I didn’t know Nick & Nasty Habits did mostly a MKI set. Somehow I thought they didn’t bother with DP material. Silly me!

    I would listen to ‘Listen learn read on’ and ‘Kentucky womam’, that songs have incredible drums parts, very difficult to play if you want to recreate exactely what Paice did…
    And for Nasty Habits it would be great to have Rod Evans singing…in that case they could do a world tour and I will go to one gig…
