RIP indeed and a very sad loss for our rock-n-roll world.  True story below I know folks that were at this prom...

Best part is this - "The Yardbirds were not the first choice of the prom committee. In fact, desperation had a bit of a hand in it.  Prom coordinator Rip Pelley says Cream had originally been hired, but the supergroup trio of Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker failed to pass a popularity contest."

WTF?  Who gets these sorts of bands at their high school prom?  Unbelievable...
