Les Harvey
1945 – May 3, 1972
Member of the 27 Club
Les Harvey was the guitarist for the Scotland blues-rock band Stone The Crows. Despite being Glasgow pub favorites and having the support of Led Zeppelin manager Peter Grant as their producer, they were never able to attract much more than their loyal cult following. On May 3, 1972, while performing at Swansea Top Rank, Harvey grabbed an ungrounded microphone with wet hands and was electrocuted to death.
Superb video. By far the best LP by Stone the Crows, in my judgment, was the 1st, but they’re all good. Les Harvey was unbelievable. Had he lived, he would’ve been one of the greats. But does anyone know when precisely, he was born?
