I was fortunate to see and hear him play live on 3 occassions. they were all amazing but the final time was really special because he was sober! i was a big fan. since the day he died i just dont listen to his music. it makes me too sad.
I saw him live in a small’ish venue many, many years ago back in the 80s. Robert Cray opened for him. It was quite a magical night.
He used to play the Concerts on the Pier (57th st NYC) saw him several times there.
The image of him lying on his back at the front of the stage playing Little Wing is burned into my memory.
I will see your 3 and raise you six. First time was at Will Rogers Auditorium in Ft. Worth on my 15th birthday. Brother Jimmie and the Birds opened. Later it was bro-fest. They did the double neck guitar thang.
