Ted's a little over the hill now. I saw him perform at the Maryland State Fair a few years ago. The concert was free with the $6 fair admission. He missed a few notes while playing and his voice gave out. The bass player had to take over the vocals.

I was fortunate to see Ted in his prime during the early 1980's. It was an excellent show.

JohnK,

That reminds me of when Foghat put on a free show at the highschool in our little town,
back around 1993. I kid you not we were the only four poeple that showed up. After a few songs they asked us to come right up and we started shooting the breeze with them for a while so, eventually we all agreed if they rocked out "Fool for the city" one more time we could all go home, they did and we did. made the front page of our local rag:rofl:
