NOTE: "Called Eric [Clapton]. [...] Got Klaus, and we got
alan White. [...] And I said, Look, there's this thing in
Toronto, do you want to come? They said, Okay. Now we didn't

Because I'd done... I think I'd worked "Yer Blues" with Eric
on the Rock'n' Roll Circus show of Mick, the Rolling Stones
show." (John Lennon, 1980)
