I guess there was a copyright claim on the vid. How sad.

He was singing about dying, broken heart, then he collapse on stage. They continue to jam for about 5 mintues afterwards. Then carry him off the stage and the drapes close.

Singing a Grateful Dead song when he passed. Lyrics:

Lyrics
Without a warning you broke my heart, takin' it baby, tore it apart
And you left me standin' in the dark, said your love for me was dyin'

Come on baby, baby please come on baby, cause I'm on my knees
Turn on your lights let it shine on me shine on your love light
Let it shine on me let shine, let it shine, let it shine

When I get lonely in the middle of the night
And I need you darlin' to make things all right

So come on baby, baby please and I'm beggin' you baby cause I'm on my knees,
Turn on your lights let it shine on me
Turn on your love light let it shine on me
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

Without a warning you broke my heart, takin' it baby, tore it apart
And you left me standin' in the dark, shine your love for me was dark

Come on baby, baby please come on baby, cause I'm on my knees
Turn on your lights let it shine on me shine on your love light
Let it shine on me let shine, let it shine, let it shine

Very strange coincidence and timing!

I never heard of Col Bruce, but going back and watching youtube vids the man shredded a guitar! R.I.P.

70 is young, but Bruce road life pretty hard. He never looked too healthy when I saw him live. Jon Fishman (who was also playing at the Fox that night) did a great writeup here http://phish.com/news/bruce-hampton/

As an aside, that 14-year old Taz is an unbelievably talented guitar player. It will be interesting to see his career develop.

Rock star years are equal to 2 or more regular years, except in a few cases.

I have seen him many, many times .... he was a legend in the Jam music scene, a mentor to many and a fixture at festivals ...... he will be missed.

Those of you that have a facebook account, check out former band mate & close friend Jeff Mosier's moving tribute.
