Great video! Ronnie was one of the most, if not the most underrated players ever... No nonsense, straight ahead rock and roll... it amazes me how many so called fans of "classic rock" have never heard his music. RIP JB

Hard to believe it's been 10 years. Besides being a phenomenal ground-breaking guitarist, Ronnie was very sharp with electronics and mechanical things. He was whip smart and also hilarious. He and I and a mutual friend started a portable amplifier company in the 90s and cranked out about 2,000 of them. I'll always enjoy listening to him rock the nation. RIP.

Always enjoyed listening to them back in high school in the East Bay in the mid 1980s. By then, however, they already were "classic rock." Hey Calmopar, are/were you the one with the AAR Cuda parked in your driveway under a car cover? I used to drive by that car all the time and wonder if it was for sale.

I've had a 68 Charger and a 70 Chally under a cover in a driveway, but that would be in WC and Berkeley years ago. An AAR would have caught my eye, too!
