hi all -

I wasn't there for the show but I'd heard that after his guitar string 
broke, he went straight for they keyboards.  I'd asked Matty S why Martin 
didn't play instead and he said that Martin had a capo for that part of the 
song, and by the time he'd have ripped it off, Jim would've been ready 
anyway.  :)
