im still trying to get my head around losing kofi. that dude was a musical genius and hero of mine. he died the day TTB's new cd was released.  his flute! solos will be missed and that was just one tiny part of this great band...that you could have a rocking out song and wham get hit with a flute solo mid song. no one does that. no one like TTB out there today. no one

i have some free time so i have been spinning the new cd like crazy and i LOVE how this one is more susan/voice driven than there other ones. there are some real fucking pretty songs on this new cd and susan's voice drives that

BUT the one song i still can not get out of me head is the last song which is all about col bruce hampton's last gig and life. TTB even dedicated the new cd to his legacy. i don't know if any of you'all have seen basically frightened which is a dvd about bruce's life and contribution to music. so many musicians that i respect honor him in that film. it came out in 2012 and it worth watching/buying. imo. when bruce collapsed on stage i went to the internet and found that nugs had not yet taken down the podcast of that 70th BD show and i will never forget that moment when he just fell over on stage during lovelite at the ending of a 3 hours concert. to die on stage doing what he loved to do and leaving without an ending. hence the TTB song called The Ending. I still can not imagine what Bruce's friends on stage thought of when and after that happened...anyways thats 100 words today so im done 

here's the wiki cut&paste of the event

On May 1, 2017, Hampton was honored by his friends at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia for his 70th birthday. Dubbed Hampton 70: A Celebration of Col. Bruce Hampton, it was an all-star concert featuring Widespread Panic members John Bell, Dave Schools, Duane Trucks and Jimmy Herring; blues guitarist Tinsley Ellis, Peter Buck of R.E.M; steel guitarist Darick Campbell; saxophone player Karl Denson; Drew Emmitt and Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon; Jon Fishman of Phish; banjo player Rev. Jeff Mosier; guitarist Warren Haynes; Drivin N Cryin frontman Kevn Kinney; Atlanta jazz-staple Johnny Knapp; Chuck Leavell; Athens rock-troubadour T. Hardy Morris; 13-year-old guitar prodigy Brandon Niederauer; Slide Guitarist Derek Trucks and Blues Singer Susan Tedeschi of the Tedeschi Trucks Band; John Popper of Blues Traveler; funk bassist Kevin Scott; keyboardist Matt Slocum; Denny Walley of Frank Zappa fame; gypsy-metal guitarist Emil Werstler; Oliver Wood of The Wood Brothers; MLB pitcher Jake Peavy; and the Colonel’s Sling Blade co-star, actor Billy Bob Thornton who cancelled due to illness. The event was produced by Good Times Productions with the proceeds benefiting the Fox Theatre Institute and other musician-focused charities.

During the encore performance of the show, Hampton suffered a medical emergency and collapsed on stage.[17] Onlookers and his fellow musicians initially either did not notice that Hampton had collapsed, or thought it was a ruse. As a result, Hampton lay face down at Niederauer's feet, his left arm draped over a stage monitor, as Niederauer soloed on "Turn on Your Love Light." The band played for several minutes before Hampton was taken offstage for medical attention; he died shortly thereafter at Emory University Hospital Midtown in Atlanta, Georgia.[17]
