I read this too late last night.
I was fortunate enough to see him on numerous occasions over the years including a brilliant 'noise' show with Thurston Moore.
Like you say a huge loss.

Sad to hear the news this morning. Glad that Green Man (and Marc Riley) introduced me to him and gave me the opportunity to see him play a couple of times though.

Thanks for that Ray.
Thanks for that Ray. Definitely worth listening to those again. Would have loved to see him back next year but sadly not to be.
no worries
no worries
and yes - i do wonder how much that enforced 18 months off might have contributed to his passing
he's basically been on tour for 50 years
that must have been the longest time away from an audience he's ever had since he started playing professionally
Listening to the 2014 set at
Listening to the 2014 set at the moment .. they don't make them like that anymore.
