It's a combination of photographs and memories of his 1969 UK tour by former Wild Angels Mal Gray and Mitch Mitchell. It confirms the impression of that tour given in the BBC documentary The Rock'n'Roll Singer" ie he was almost penniless and constantly ripped off by managers and promoters. Nevertheless, the two members of the Wild Angels (who backed him on that tour) clearly remember him with affection.
