Gig also confirmed by Doug Gillard with the following comments:
"I remember John P., Don Depew and I flying in, getting up to our dressing room area just a half hour before playing, and there was Peter Wolf from J. Geils band sitting there talking to Bob. He was a fan. When we left the venue, G. Love & Special Sauce were on stage in the street." |
