"The poor man was obviously ill, and could only play a couple of songs before taking a break and being replaced by another drummer whose kit was also set up on the stage.
The really sad part was that it is a round revolving stage at this venue, and when he would take his breaks, he would be slumped over on a stool spinning around for everyone to see! He seemed to be a very nice guy, but he just didn’t have the chops to match his bandmates, even when he was well. I’m glad that he’s not suffering anymore. "
Oh dear....
That’s certainly not R&R, roxy54.
I’m convinced R&R stars should just be remembered for their greatness, not being a nostalgia act on some cruise ship, 30+ years later.
R&R guys aren’t like Sinatra or Tony Bennett in their golden years.
Maybe Jagger and his mates, maybe a few others get a pass-otherwise, lets just celebrate their greatness by playing their albums on great hi fi setups.
