Oh shit! Good call, I saw Johnny Winter in 2008-ish when he was nearing the end. He was in rough shape, but his band was great and it was a cool show.

Two highlights:

- When they bought him out he was obv borderline blind and someone tried to lead him to his chair and then lte him go and he totally missed the chair and was about 3 feet from turbo-biffing off the front of the stage when someone grabbed him.

- His amp started smoking during Red House (can't make this up) and he was clueless and had no idea. Meanwhile, his techs were going crazy trying to fix it. Seeing him just continuing to go to town having zero clue his amp was smoking was classic.

Me neither. Saw Brian Howe with Bad Company opening for Deep Purple in 1987.

What a strange coincidence today, we went to see my stepson's grave and I noticed that Alexi Laiho is buried 50 metres away.

There are probably a few more that I am not remembering, but given all the concerts seen, I'm a bit surprised that so few have passed. This is especially true since I saw so many metal players in the late 80s and 1990s.
