My feeling on the subject after Saturday is that Alan is the Kompleat
spacebassplayer, but Lemmy has a special magic, particularly in the context
of the SR material.  It would have been interesting to hear them play
Motorhead n'est-ce pas?

mmm, yeah... strange mix of idolisation, collaboration & rivalry (cf. my
earlier comments re. "Psychedelic Warlords")

Definitely three big cheers for Alan's energy and enthusiasm - I wish I got
that much fun out of my work *g*
