This hits hard. I first saw them at the Atlantic City Pop Festival August 1969 two weeks before Woodstock and they gave a masterful performance.
They closed with the theme to 2001 while a monstrous thunderstorm blew past without a drop - and they received a standing ovation for 5 minutes.
Many times since I have seen them and always a first rate performance, lastly in 2017 or 2018 at City Winery for the release of Novum.
One of my top 5 bands all-time.

RIP. Enjoyed all the great music, and what always appeared to be your joy in making it live.

I saw them live several times and I’ve been a fan for decades.
