I didn’t encourage them to make “Exile” a double album but I encouraged them to keep recording. It became a very interesting set up with the truck, different rooms, the basement. A unique experience. You go into the recording truck and you know this is going to work.

We’re in France and two thirds done and we took a break and I went to London for a meeting at Rupert’s house. In the sitting area, beautiful carpets. We all got served tea. Then Rupert started with, “Marshall, you’ve spent two hundred thousand dollars, flying to France, building a kitchen, and it’s too much and we don’t have a budget for this.” All of a sudden, Keith, who is obviously in some form inebriated, says, “Whatever Marshall says we’re gonna go with.” And he’s spilling this tea on a forty thousand dollar carpet. And Rupert…It was a moment from a Woody Allen movie, you know. And that was it. They overruled him. It was sultry nights at this big mansion with rock ‘n’ roll playing. It became like living in a bubble.

Marshall has stated that he hadn't tried heroin until the 4th of July show in 1972...
He has said that he was smoking opium though.

I just thought it was odd that it's never really been documented that the band went back to London...
