Country Joe and the Fish was one of my favourite West Coast Acid Rock band. I can still remember hearing that great album Electric Music For The Mind And Body for the first time. It was a totally different sound and Barry’s great electric guitar was an important element. He made that acid drenched sound that was quite different to anything else I’d heard. One of my favourite albums of all-time.
It felt great to have such an icon of those times visiting Hull again.
Barry was playing acoustic as a duo with the greatly talented French guitarist Stephane Missri. It worked well. They managed to summon up that counter-culture vibe of the old San Franciscan scene. They were joined by John Roberts on spoons and vocals.
The place was packed and Barry got the crowd joining in and grooving.
The highlight of the evening was when Barry jammed with Crooked Weather. He took up the electric guitar and it rocked.

It was a great night.
