They didn't play Chameleon in London but, assuming there's no support, they'll likely have longer. Hope all the Early Birds and Jamboners who are still around will make it.
Can anybody remind me what was the other Herbie track they played? The original Early Bird and one time Jambone guitarist seems unable to provide this info.
The other Hancock number could well have been Watermelon Man.
