A bunch of friends have been paying tribute to Rick Froberg after his passing- 55 is way too young to pass from natural causes. Tragic.
I didn’t know Rick, I think I talked to him once to ask if I could video his band (Pitchfork at Gilman). That Pitchfork video is already posted on the website- not the greatest lighting, sound or performance unfortunately.
This one was taped by Marcus Winfree- he taped Jehu at least 4 times, that’s how many DAT board tapes I received from him back in the 90s. I happened to meet Marcus a few years back at a Grand Champeen show in Austin- we had traded in the mid/late 90s but never met. Small world.
Anyway, I hope fans of Rick’s work and fans of Jehu enjoy this.
