Dave and Brigitte, Hello again. Well we
decided to drive the 300 miles to Las Vegas and
check out the lads, they were performing at an
event called Cannerystock at the cannery casino.
Besides Ten years after, was some Hendrix imposter,
some ex Santana member and big mountain. Of course
we were only there to see Ten Years After who
played after the "Hendrix" opening act.
The bad news is, that they only played for an hour.
the good news is they KICKED ASS! Chick,Leo, and
Rik were their usual awesome selves and wow, Joe
Gooch Rocks. And as the whipped cream topping,
they all came out after the show to meet and greet
and sign autographs, unfortunately i could not get
my camera in, but the show and the band were
fantastic.
Then here recently we drove about 130 miles
down to San Diego to see a Joe Cocker concert and
stay the night down there. The day of the show we
went in to the hotel lounge to have lunch, and lo
and behold, who did we see was appearing in the
lounge the following night? thats right it
was again Ten Years After . of course we quickly
scrambled to re arrange our schedules and booked
tickets for that show as well. Again they rocked
only this time for 2 hours and i actually snapped
some photos. My fiance, being an ex patriot from
England has been a huge Alvin Lee/Ten Years Afetr
fan all her life. I think it's safe to say that
she is now a Ten Years After fan period. I've
enclosed some live shots and some shots of the
boys very graciously mugging with Gaynor.
Just a side note, while talking to
Rik Lee in Vegas, he told us that their flight
into vegas was late, and would you believe the
casino that they played and were supposed to stay
in, had given their rooms away and the band had to
sleep on the benches at the venue the night before
the show. can you imagine that? I said if we only
had know they could have stayed with
us..............................
Johnny and Gaynor
