LIVE FM was a constant spin for me as a teenager...RIP Pete.
Terrible news. Pete was a great talent, and left us some wonderful music.
Damn! Climax Blues Band, just great. I really love his instrumental Guitar and Son on Miles Copeland's
No Speak series back in the 90s.
i remember him from the old “night of the guitar” project and the first incarnation of ELO ptII. RiP.
Very sad. I was a big CBB fan back in the day, and just rediscovered them through the recent remasters issued by Esoteric, which are fantastic. I wore the grooves out of my original copy of FM Live. I was lucky enough to have a chance to see the band when they were hot, playing an outdoor show with Sly & The Family Stone, at the Englishtown racetrack in New Jersey. Haycock was IMO a very under-appreciated guitarist.
Rest in peace, Pete, from a long-time fan.
We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973
For Peter. Heard this song for the first time on my local classic rock radio station a month or so ago.
