Yep. Bittersweet.

It's sad that he died but to be doing what he loved with friends and family...

That sucks! RIP Col. You were one of my favorites

There is a full video of the show on YouTube. It's crazy he just lays down on stage during last song after singing. And everyone thinks he is joking by lying there. Takes a few minutes for them to realize what happened.

Yep. Bittersweet.

It's sad that he died but to be doing what he loved with friends and family...

Amen, not rotting in a hospital or home. Any known potential cause?

Before the show on twitter

I saw some photos of him and commented to my wife that he wasn't looking too good. What a crazy night. Couldn't imagine being there.

I'm headed to see Panic at Jazz Fest Thursday....that could probably turn into a very memorable show.

Kinda tough on the crowd.....but good for him!!!

One of my

favorite Col Bruce moments was his role in "Sling Blade."

Wikipedia say Bruce Hampton was a surrealist musician. True to form...

Crazy, but very fitting for his life. He couldn't have planned it any better.
