Cool!!!!!!
"There seems a lot of activity from the wings and for Smoke On The Water we're joined by half of Iron Maiden - Janick Gers (still doing Blackmore's old moves!), Nicko McBrain (trying out the bongos and the tambourine before eventually being given a couple of drum sticks and a tom tom on the left hand side of Ian's kit), and Bruce Dickinson. Steve and Janick trade guitar parts (Steve wins), Don's back up, so we have a nine-piece. And a blonde climbs out from the audience, kisses someone and proceeds to demonstrate that she might just be the worst bongo player in the world! Bruce takes the second verse and he and Ian share the choruses. More guitar duelling, Nicko's almost playing on the same song as little Ian and it all winds up nicely with more guitar histrionics and strat-throwing from Janick. The blonde is finally led off stage (somehow, I don't think a bloke would have been allowed to stay up there for so long)."
