and if not for NRBQ they would have been the greatest ,still it's definitely a toss up.
I saw the band too many times to count in the Boston area in 1970-1971. This includes the almost famous New Year's 1970 gig at Stonehenge on the banks of the Ipswich River in Ipswich ( Mass of course ). I vaguely remember , it was 1970 after all , dancing outside the club in the cold winter. My late first wife and I were also at the Allman Brothers Boston Common show where J Geils joined the band to play and he more than held his own with Duane. Another memorial evening where sat behind 3 marines in uniform who shared what they had as did we.Now that I remember she was so crazy about the band that we kind of traveled all over New England to see them play.
I think that I'm probably not the only one nostalgic over his death and the rapid passing of an era that was full of unfulfilled promise.
