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.

I bought the 45 in ’74 immediately upon release and that was the story in the music press at the time.

About 20 years before the internet became commonplace.

@guscreek, the experience was a great one for me, but not because of the speakers, although they were enjoyable (at that time, my mains were a stock pair of heavily damped Klipsch Lascala, which still to this day, is the presentation I prefer). Rick wanted a speaker a little less dynamic than what he was used to but also wanted some grunt, heft and illumination. The QLS1s really fit the bill. I was passively, vertically bi-amping them with some Krell stereo amps. My best, MrD.
