JOHNNY RIVERS, CHRIS HILLMAN, STEPHEN STILLS, JOHN MAYALL, HUGH MASEKELA, 1.29.09 Whisky A Go Go Tribute to Elmer Valentine






From 2009-- Personifying Los Angeles' 1960's Sunset Strip legacy incarnate, Stephen Stills, John Mayall and Chris Hillman joined Johnny Rivers onstage January 26, 2009 at the Whisky A Gogo for a tribute concert to the legendary nightclub's owner and promoter Elmer Valentine, who died Dec.3, 2008. South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela also added grace notes forty years after first accompanying Hillman's Byrds and Stills' Buffalo Springfield both in sessions and live venues. (I had indeed also photographed or witnessed all but Mayall live 43 years ago, gasp.)
