He had this stool beside him with a small glass of wine and kept getting tipsier and tipsier as the set progressed. Just drop-dead funny. To this day, the best solo performer I've ever seen. Nice to know a few of us are still out here.

Thanks for sharing your memories.

I actually played pinball with him one night at The Earl of Old Town on Wells and North Ave in Chicago. It was an Elton John Captain Fantastic game IIRC
