Posted December 23, 2022 Been a rough year for blues and rock. Kim Simmonds the great lead guitarist and founding member of Savoy Brown. Just a sample: 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are most welcome. Kim Simmonds was an amazing guitar player and Savoy Brown a great band - both under appreciated. One of the best concert performances I ever saw (and there have been a great countless many!) was Savoy Brown at I think McNichols Arena (possibly the Coliseum - been a long time!). They were the backup that night to the dismally disappointing Deep Purple. But Savoy Brown was phenomenal. They rigged an extension to the stage that rolled out almost to the center of the floor with Kim under sole spotlight unleashing an absolutely killer guitar solo the whole way out and back that went on and on. We had floor seats and practically could have touched greatness as he wailed away and floated by. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 24, 2022 And for the show described above "Wire Fire" the album was about the time as I recall. One more for the road. RIP Kim. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
