I wasn't a fan at all, but I was at Live Aid in Philadelphia in 1985. When they launched into Roll With the Changes, something happened and for a brief moment, they were the Loudest Rock and Roll Band I ever heard. If you watch, you can see Richrath motion offstage to turn it down. It was pretty epic. RIP.
I doubt it. They did bring him back for one concert. Man he looked bad.
There was an interesting story on one of the sites talking about Guitars. It’s from a guy who was involved with booking Gary.
He would take a lesser fee because he wanted to be able to cancel if Cronin called him to join a concert. The booker felt bad for him. He contacted the piano guy and asked him if there was any chance that was going to happen. Dougherty said Not in this lifetime.
The booker got Gary the elevated fee for the gig.
Dude was always hoping to be called back
he died a janitor.
