Sue & I saw them at Wem-ber-ley (sic) some twenty years ago. Amazed at how three guys, playing “simple” Texas boogie could keep 10000 people mesmerised for two hours.

Here is the last song he ever played - he must have been feeling very unwell to be sitting like that…heartbreaking. And being assisted off the stage, with the bass guitar apparently being too heavy for him.

Just watched a video clip of the first performance since Dusty died with Elwood his bass technician standing in with his blessing. He plays really well…….but could not help thinking, a little magic had been lost.
There’s a nice tribute by Billy Gibbons over on Dig…
