Cold Blood -Live at The Fillmore -1971

This is my favorite recorded live version of Cold Blood's interpretation of Willie Dixon's classic —"I just wanna make love to you" from "Fillmore: The Last Days" —Here are: Larry Field (lead guitar), Lydia Pense (vocals), Danny Hull (tenor saxophone and songwriter), Larry Jonutz (trumpet), Raul Matute (Hammond organ, piano, arranger and songwriter), Jerry Jonutz (Baritone, alto and tenor saxophone), David Padron (trumpet), Rod Ellicott (bass), Paul Saenz (Guitar), and the legendary Sandy McKee on Traps...

@AwaTu Thanks for your reply, I made this picture at the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin, 1974. Yes, please reference © W. Blaine Pennington. There is a copyright on the actual picture. It and several more are on my Flickr. Love this band, and this live cut.

GAYLORD BIRCH and that was not an accidental caps key-lock. I listen to this intro - seems like Garibaldi's playing too - in amazement.

@newsmanbluesman Not sure what you're referring to, as Gaylord isn't on this cut...

@AwaTu - in college we always believed both drum kits (tower and Coldblood) were used behind Fillmore closing jam band - plus double horn section - which this is

OK ,figured it out here on Youtube .It looks like Sandy McKee died of cancer in 1995 .What a shame .RIP .

[cuninglinguist]

Can anybody tell me what happened to Sandy McKee ? Saw the band play a killer set @ Winterland in SF with West , Bruce and Laing headlining . If I have the right guy , Sandy did a duet with Lydia on "Down to the Bone" while playing the drums . It was one

wraaawwwking number .

[sturoc0]

You couldn't even stick a thin piece of paper between these guys THAT'S HOW TIGHT THEY ARE !!

[sturoc0]

Lydia is a one of a kind .Bought this box set when it came out and I still got it ! These guys were my favorite on the record and the horn section kicks it unbelievable !!!

I'm back again! I totally agree with goobstubes comment below.

What an awesome band! I love bands that have a lot of horns and strings. I know the bass player Rod Ellicott, good guy, humble and very talented,
