Thread Name: OBIT: John Lee Hooker passes on... (1917-2001)
Subject: RE: John Lee Hooker passes on...
I saw him at a music festival in Boston in 1999. Maybe his last show on the East Coast. It was incredible. About 20,000 fans, all on their feet dancing to his boogie. Simply put, he was the best and will be sorely missed. I also just finished his biography. It seems that there are a lot of cuts that were meant to be included in his recent CD's but didn't make the grade. I expect that they'll be released soon.
