The Manor House

I went a couple of times and can’t remember who I saw.  But I did hear of a tale, where John Mayall was playing, with the legendary Eric Clapton as one of his band.  Eric got rather drunk and couldn’t continue.  But a previous member of the band, Jeff Grimmett (?), was there and although being in a worse state that Eric took over.  Apparently, it was a performance to rank with the greatest.
