I saw him 10ish years ago in Laughlin NV. and he had to be helped around on stage back then. But his playing was still spot on. Glad I got to see him while he still had it.
Ditto on that. I saw him there, too, on three separate occasions while visiting my parents in Bullhead City.
Also, I recall an interview he gave in 1987 (if memory serves me) where he recalled that there was a period in time when his music was no longer mainstream or appreciated and he was struggling financially until several bands (particularly English bands like U2) began performing covers of his music in the mid 80’s which created a new appreciation for his music, as well as nice financial windfall for him.
Always liked him, and have no issue with anything he may say or do now in the final years of his life.
