WHAT FANS SAY (7)▼

“Always a favorite of mine. I saw them perform in a community athletic center the day Hendrix died [no chairs. we sat, stood and danced on a concrete floor]. They dedicated the concert to him and then blew the house down! One of the best concerts that I have ever seen.”

“What was the name of the documentary? It sounds like one to catch. I think D&B need more love, they are pretty cool, and they did have an immense influence on Clapton, especially with his singing.”
