A young Robbie Chamberlin & Tommy Bolin. Circa 1st Album 1969.
Photo taken by David Givins in New York at the Hotel Earle. “It was one of four that included John and Candice with a face left for me. John (Faris) lost the other lints and the guy who owned the camera lost the negatives. Too bad – in a different universe, that was our album cover.”

(David Givens, 2015) “On stage at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. This was the last gig that I had my Telecaster bass and Tommy had his red Les Paul. Eddie Shepard, our road manager, lost them at the airport the next day. Both guitars were one of a kind and our sound was never quite the same. Karma, eh?”

(David Givens, 2015) “This was at The Tropicana motel in Hollywood. We were getting ready to go play at The Santa Monica Civic Auditorium”.
