Despite their 1960's fashionably long name, Pacific Gas & Electric were nothing more than a straight ahead blues rock band. In fact, by 1971 the band was forced to shorten their name to PG&E by the west coast electric company of the same name.
After the band called it quits in 1973, bad fate would befall a couple of key members of the band. Charlie Allen, lead singer, would die at the age of 48 in 1990. Guitarist Tom Marshall would fight addiction and has been homeless since the 1990's. In fact there was a documentary on homelessness featuring Tom that was released in 2005.
Here is a tune from happier times in 1969.
