Peter Case performs at the benefit for John Wicks

On October 8, 2015, a benefit concert was held for John Wicks of The Records. Wicks had been diagnosed in the summer of 2015 with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

Many of John's friends got together to perform and raise money to offset his medical expenses. One of those friends is Peter Case of The Plimsouls.

In the summer/fall of 2008, I believe, I had the good fortune to work with John Wicks and Paul Collins. I was responsible for booking many of the shows on that year's acoustic mostly-house tour. As part of that tour we booked a show at the legendary McCabes Guitar Shop in Santa Monica.

As it so happens, Peter lived within a mile or two of the venue and decided to join John and Paul on stage. It was the first time Peter and Paul had appeared together in many years.

You all know the story from there....

Anyway, here's Peter's performance from the night of October 8, 2015. It truly was a magical night for all, but especially Plimsouls fans. Those who attended this benefit were fortunate enough to hear a few classics - songs that may never be heard live again.
