Word Down Your Way: 15 minutes with Mark Everett – E from Eels - about shows he's seen and played
About this episode
Eels are touring the UK in March/April and E talks here about what he’s learnt about live performance from being onstage or in the audience. And this includes …
… a valuable lesson from watching Leon Russell’s deserted matinee at a racetrack in Maryland.
… his mum’s reaction to him singing Plastic Ono Band songs in the car when he was 10.
… seeing George Harrison (aged 11) with his sister.
… the fascination of formerly big bands now quietly on the way back down (like Steppenwolf).
… playing drums at his son’s school concert.
… the “crazy and theatrical spectacle” of Neil Young’s Rust Never Sleeps tour.
… and what fan footage on YouTube can tell you.
