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.

Saw him live with Johnny Winter And (featuring Double Trouble).

A very good guitar player that never got the recognition he deserved. RIP

Oh man, what a memory I have of those days. Johnny and Edgar Winter, Rick Derringer. Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo 1973. Played that record till the grooves wore out. RIP Rick.

 

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.
