I seem to recall that Mick was in attendance together with Jenny B and Sandra E and they stood right in front of me and my friends. Everyone had a ball that night....brilliant gig!
The other time was at the Lyceum Ballroom in London when FM did a gig with guests which went on till the early hours of the morning. Nick Picket (a violin player) played a spot with Peter, Danny and Mick as his backing band. Peter played bass using his Fender 6 string during this spot. After FM had played for a good couple of hours,Nick Picket together with Glen Cornick and Clive Bunker from Jethro Tull, + Danny and Peter
had a Jam session that went on for another hour or so. It is a real pity that no recordings have ever surfaced ( to my knowledge ) of that show as Peter was at the top of his game that night and he set the place on fire with his guitar and bass playing.

Thanks for sharing this with us Blue Horizon. I was born too late! I wish I had a time machine!
And Krzysztof: there is this clip on Youtube from 'Bright Lights Big City'. There is only one known bit of film footage with Duster when he played with John Mayall in Paris (I think). Sad - it would be great to have had that concert saved for "eternity" (amongst others...here we go again).

The numbers from the concert are also included on 'Duster Bennett - The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions', which you probably know and have already.
