...and the bass player Berry Oakley died almost one year exactly also on a motorcycle and within a couple of blocks of where Duane was killed. I remember watching In Concert on TV and at the bottom of the screen it said, killed last week in a motorcycle accident. I think that was a Friday night show for a few years, really good, unlike Midnight Special, it would be just one band for the entire hour. I remember seeing Jim Groce on In Concert and the same thing, he died after the show was already recorded.
