I went to see "former members" so called because they are former members of various groups.
This band are absolutely phenomenal. Bruce Barthol bassist from Country Joe & The Fish, Greg Douglass - lead guitarist of Steve Miller Band, Roy Blumenfeld - drummer of Al Kooper's Blues Project - and David Bennett Cohen, Grammy nominated piano player from Country Joe & The Fish.
The youngets of these Bruce Barthol about 68 years old, all of them having played and performed profesionally for over 50 years.
They were fantastic - it was a privilege to watch them play and a delight to see their enjoyment at playing. They have all played at massive rock festivals and with a host of other great musicians - here they were at a small pub with a small audience and giving a masterclass in playing. You got the impression they could play anything anywhere.
The musicians in the audience were just blown away, I overheard one person describe it as like being in the presence of a jazz or blues great in the 20th century.
