It´s great to see Canned Heat still playing the blues 43 years after they started in 1965!
Too bad Robert Lucas died recently, but Canned Heat keeps on playing their famous music, thanks to Fito De La Parra, the only original band member left. Well done, Fito - we love you!
@pumazpawz True! Frank Cook was the drummer on their debut record. I probably should have said that
Fito is the only band member left from the so-called "Classical Line-up". Even that is not quite true anymore,
since both Larry Taylor and Harvey Mandel have been part of the band the last couple of years, at least for some of the time. Harvey Mandel is of course not part of the "Classical line-up", but he did appear on two of their records, and played with them at Woodstock.
Larry Taylor has a sweet gig with Tom Waits. He has been playing with Tom on and off for 35 years.

Hope they come to Iowa. I would love to see them.
I want to get some of their records. I have a CD, need more.

@Bukfan1 Actually, Fito is not an original member. He was not on their debut record.
