Viv's gigs were always rather unpredictable, I did the mixing at several in the mid 70's - you never knew who was going to turn up and play, he seemed to know everyone. Drunk or sober, he was a wonderful bloke. If a little unpredictable.. I was playing in rock bands back then though, so behavioral excesses were the norm - though Viv did seem to have made an art form of it.
