up. That’s when he turned to me and said: ‘Let me have your guitar.’ He couldn’t hear his guitar, ‘cos<br />

it was an acoustic. I gave him my electric and took his acoustic and just kept playing.<br />

That show was a lot of fun, but Elvis was very nervous at the beginning. He hadn’t been in front of a<br />

crowd for so long…well, since he came out of the army. I’m sure half of America was watching the<br />

show that night. I wasn’t nervous, because to me, it was just another crowd.<br />

After we did the ’68 Special, as I said, he wanted to go to Europe, and that’s when he hooked up in<br />

Las Vegas. I didn’t want to go because they wouldn’t pay us. That’s why I didn’t carry on playing with<br />

Elvis. The Vegas thing was only gonna go on for two or three weeks. That’s when they got James<br />

Burton and all those other guys playing with him. We didn’t have a falling out, but that was the last<br />

time I saw him or spoke to him. Elvis was really just like a younger brother to me from day one. After I<br />

stopped seeing him, I really missed him so much.”<br />

It must make you feel very sad when you stop to think of what happened to him after you lost touch.<br />

“I think about him quite a bit. I guess the main thing I can tell you is that he wasn’t happy towards the<br />

end of his life. It was depressing for me. I think Colonel Parker hurt him. Like I was saying, when we<br />

had dinner that night, he told us he wanted to go over there and do a European tour. He knew that<br />

the fans were over there, ‘cos he’d been to Paris when he was in the army. He’d seen enough when<br />

he was over there to know that here was a whole new life for him. That’s the reason he went back on<br />

the road, because it was in his system, and he wanted to get out and do something for the people.”<br />

How would you like to be remembered?<br />

“Oh, I don’t know. I might be an innovator, but I really don’t consider myself to be a fantastic<br />

musician. I just did my own thing my own way, and it just happened to be a little different to anybody<br />

else.”<br />
