Doubtless it tasted better, but for the same reason that he did not manage to come back after the interval in a concert. The Heineken he'd had in Chicago was like the American beers I recall from long ago, considerably less alcoholic than what was supplied as a matter of course nearer Holland, hic!

Dear Robert,
Perhaps, it was the loveable 'Little Brother' Montgomery's party trick.
He did exactly the same thing here in Sydney, Australia (c.1979) at his first public performance.
Kind regards,
Bill.
