Rock tours of london
Top 10 moments
The kind of thing you can expect when you book a tour with Lee.
10 : Steve from Daytonville, Florida
In 1968, Steve was in a band called the Town Criers. They regularly played on the same bill as the Allman Joys, who became the Allman Brothers in 1969. Steve knew Duane Allman!
9 : Abbey Road Studio 2
Here’s me in Abbey Road Studio 2. As a special treat, because I’m such a regular visitor, the Abbey Road staff gave me the keys to the studios as a Christmas present!
8 : Apple rooftop
On the Apple roof, where the Beatles' rooftop concert took place - standing in George's position.
7 : Earl Slick at Abbey Road Studios

2 : Eric Clapton at his London home
Passing Eric Clapton’s London home in my minivan, and looking out for Eric’s cars - I know two of his license plates - and there he was!
“EC!”, I said, “I’m doing a rock tour...”
Eric replied “There’s someone behind you, waiting”. It was a magical moment!
1 : Emmylou Harris on my tour
“Lee, every day I wake up and still can’t believe I made those two albums with Gram Parsons”
