Achilles Last Stand contains parts from live Dazed and Confused? I've never
heard that in the song nor have heard any reports on that? Hmmm.

Jonesy was also planning on leaving in '75 to be the organist at a church,
but was persuaded to stay in the band.

All accounts I know of say that he never used a double bass drum. He had
two bass drums set up, but when he would leave for tea, the rest of the
band would take one off.
