Short story:

Badfinger play at The NCO Club, Pensacola, Florida, USA. Guitarist/songwriter Tommy Evans plays his last gig with the band at this show. In due course, he will be sued for $5m for having abandoned the tour.

Lenny Campanaro (drummer) : I remember that we flew to Pensacola from Cleveland for that show. I also remember Tommy paying for a round of drinks at a very busy airport bar by dumping a jar of quarters (his winnings from our daily poker games) out on the bar. The bartender was not impressed. The Florida gig was actually a large outdoor concert, after which we were given run of all the bars on base.
