I saw Ayers perform this in Canterbury around 1971. He was accompanied by an unknown teenager called Mike Oldfield, who played staring at the floor throughout.
I had the luxury of seeing Kevin live several times and each time it was a luxury. "Luxury" is a word which I have just come up with within the context of this comment in describing Kevin's gigs. I hope he would approve of its use. I missed him when he died
This little clip (when repackaged for the US market in the late 70s) was my introduction to Mr. Ayers. Only able to catch a live show once - didn't get to my part of the US much. Good thing for me was: the way my tastes ran back then, if the piano didn't explode, I probably wouldn't have given him a second listen.
I saw him do this at the Rainbow he got a bouquet and if my poor old memory serves me well i seem to recall a guitarist dressed as a bee suspended in mid air playing a rock and roll rift, help me someone 🤣
The guitarist was likely to have been Kevin's frequent collaborator, Ollie Halsall. I saw Ollie dressed as a bee at the Black Swan in Sheffield when he played there with Patto.
Great scott! I want to sing that on America's most wanted or I mean America's most best singer stuff like that I can do it I think I can I think I can like the train that could I challenge any singer in the world Kevin Harris is great but I suck Kevin Ayers was great but great Scott sucks when I have to call Elton John to help south.
I am the real great scott!. I can sing it better than Kevin this song was written in the 1930s where is Richard sinclair? Anyways Great Scott out beam me up Scotty!
One of a kind. Miss him

Amazing this song suits him so well.
This performance is close to my heart from the '70s. I was drawn to the music of Kevin Ayers then and now!
¡Qué voz!

Dear Kevin...
I like this version much more. More upbeat.

I hope the champagne was real - and wasn't flat
Damon Albarn's dad
Damon's teacher... I think he got a lot from Kevin
Andy Williams on the panel? for Kevin Ayers ?...that is truly surreal. He doesn't make that good a Marlene Dietrich to be honest..
Is that David Icke on the introduction panel??
And is that Andy Williams?
Anything The Who can do.........
