Well, I haven't seen it before so I shall be watching.

I seen this a few months ago, i believe it's from his promotional tour for the 'Hank' album. Still, it's a good interview if you haven't seen it.

[drakula63]

Yeah, great interview. I enjoyed it. Some nice little anecdotes and Hank was, as usual, on form. He really should have been a comedian!

Nice to see him playing a black Strat again, albeit not THE black Strat! Also, nice to hear him talking about The Day I Met Marie, not often discussed. I wasn't aware (had never previously heard of) of a Beatles connection to the 2i's coffee bar. Mind you, the interviewer called it the 21 Club, so maybe he had his wires crossed.

Some 'unusual' film clips to accompany some of the tunes, but all in all... very good.

[Fenderman]

I don't believe there is a Beatles connection to the 2i's. I don't think the Beatles ever set foot in there, they didn't even play any London gigs until 1962.
