Hugh Hopper (Soft Machine) : I sat beside (bassist Noel Redding) in the truck, waiting as he took the necessary charge of speed to get us and the music of rock's greatest guitarist to the eager fans of wherever it was. As soon as the powder was down his throat, his body gave a great shudder and shrank into the corner of the seat. I looked at his face and was horrified to see a contorted, staring mask. His hand went to his throat and he was making gurgling noises. I thought 'Jesus, he's dying. He's been poisoned.' He kept it up for a couple of minutes, while I went through all the emotions around being alone in the middle of America, with a man dying of drug abuse.
