Tommy Bolin & Zephyr
Friday photo of guitar great Tommy Bolin.
Formed in Boulder 1968, Zephyr was Colorado’s big contribution to hard rock
in the late-1960s. They played at Led Zeppelin’s US debut (Dec. 26, 1968 at
the Denver Coliseum) and at the last show by the Jimi Hendrix Experience
(June 28-29, 1969 at the Denver Pop Festival).
And though he died in 1976, Tommy Bolin’s guitar prowess is still studied
to this day (as these videos on YouTube will attest to).
