Remembering Gordon Waller: Peter and Gordon

Last August I had the pleasure of attending a concert on the Santa Monica pier featuring Peter and Gordon and Gerry and the Pacemakers. It was a truly memorable night that also included Badfinger songs played by Peter and Gordon's keyboardist and former Badfinger member Jeff Ross, and, leaving the audience in shock and awe, Joan Baez coming up from the audience to accompany Peter and Gordon on the song Five Hundred Miles.

Gordon Waller has now moved on, so in appreciation of his musical contributions, which were part of my much beloved childhood soundtrack, here is a sampling of Peter and Gordon's songs.

Here is a great little video from the K-EARTH 101 radio station, recorded a few days before the concert at the pier.
