HW: Alan's first HW gig

       I thought that Stonehenge 83 was the first Davey gig?  Or does the
       official HW 'Stonehenge 84' video document Alan's very first
       appearance w/HW ?

       Without a doubt, Alan was *not* involved with the Levitation LP.
       Harvey covered all the bass work, thereby earning the undying
       criticism from Ginger Baker.  Wasn't there a comment about "the
       world's best drummer being fired by the world's worst bass player"?
