Before the show at Monterey...
:05:13
... we were starting to talk
about the running of it.

:05:16
But more for Brian Jones,
who was introducing us, I think.

:05:20
And Eric Burden, who was introducing him,
or vice versa. I can't really remember.

:05:24
They wanted to know what was gonna
come first and we couldn't really decide.

:05:28
So I said to Jimi, "Fuck it,
we're not gonna follow you on."

:05:33
So he said, "I'm not gonna follow you on."
:05:36
So I said, "Listen, we are not gonna
follow you on and that is it."

:05:40
"As far as I'm concerned...
:05:44
...we're out ready to go on now, our gig's
gonna be there, that's the end of it."

:05:50
There was a certain look in his eye.
He got on a chair...

:05:54
...and played some amazing guitar just
standing on a chair in the dressing room.

:05:58
Janis Joplin was there, Brian Jones...
:06:01
...Eric and me, and a few other people
standing around.

:06:05
Then he got down off the chair...
:06:08
...and just said, turned around to me
and said:

:06:12
"If I'm gonna follow you...
:06:13
...I'm gonna pull all the stops."
:06:31
In the end of "Wild Thing"...
:06:35
... he would go across to the amplifier...
:06:38
... grab it...
:06:39
...and go through the motions of fucking it.
:06:45
It would vibrate and shake
to such a degree...

:06:47
...that I'd have to stand behind the columns
holding it up...

:06:52
...whilst he fucked it 'round the front.
