0079: Ilkka "Ile" Luukkonen, drummer with The Typhoons, on tour. Having heard that Hasse had become a lead guitarist, he asked Hasse to join The Typhoons, which lacked one. (Ile was later to have an important role as Hasse's manager, when Hasse brought his new all-professional Senegalese mbalax band "Hasse Walli & Asamaan" to Finland for the first time, in 1988.)

(Bass player Matti Kinnunen plays his last gig of the 60's with The Typhoons here, as he was soon to join the Army. He was replaced by Måsse Groundstroem, who, in March 1967, formed Blues Section with Hasse Walli, Jim Pembroke and Eero Koivistoinen.)
