Bummer ! He had a true love of Rock. Like others I saw him with the Winter Brothers. Went to Day on the Green in Oakland, Rick Derringer , Judas Priest , Led Zepplin. It was the Saturday show , and Priest had yet to release British Steel. It was the day Peter Grants people beat up the security staff. I have always appreciated people like Rick Derringer , and Ronny Montrose for their love of music over commercial greatness. Cheers , Mike B.
Rick Derringer R.I.P
Unfortunately, another major 70’s guitar player checked in for "The Great Gig in the Sky."
Rick Derringer was one of those unique "did everything with everyone " musicians.
