Somebody's watchin' you
So you go in at 6:30, and you notice first of all that there’s no sound check and you remember that Cocker and Leon spent five days practicing and you don’t know if even Leon is capable of putting an eight piece band together on Wednesday and playing the Eastown Friday and Saturday without so much as a soundcheck.
Somebody's watchin' you
Tony Reay
So you go in at 6:30, and you notice first of all that there’s no sound check and you remember that Cocker and Leon spent five days practicing and you don’t know if even Leon is capable of putting an eight piece band together on Wednesday and playing the Eastown Friday and Saturday without so much as a soundcheck. Still, nobody seems to be panicky.
And you stand backstage and watch O.C. — the big spade cop — throw Leon’s roadie off the stage ’cause he doesn’t know who he is; and you watch and listen for awhile and Miller comes on and says to welcome Leon Russell and the guy behind you says “who?” and while you decide not to say anything, Leon’s on stage and lights a cigarette, sitting at the piano.
