Love EC however... that was an awful period for him. He was drunk on most of the shows. The final "thang koo" after 45min's of EC dripping off the microphone, was the crews cue to "take cover" because the stage was about to get peppered with beer bottles! That was back in the day when glass containers were still allowed. EC was damn lucky he didn't crash his career with that act!

During his heroin days. Albert King came to the rescue.

He played a half of a concert and was, as others have said, wasted. Awful.
