Sy Klopps Live At The Fillmore
Released in 1995 by HHM
46 minutes, with guest appearance by Steve Miller

"Somewhere between a legend and a rumor, Sy Klopps is the Paul Bunyan of the blues. Armed with a sachel full of classic blues, he blows the dust off a guitar as hot as a twenty dollar hooker on a Saturday night. He is cutting a swath through the wild west, as bad as Jesse James, as funky as your old tennis shoes. Sy Klopps is not fat, he's heavy" Joel Selvin

In 2001 Billy Kreutzmann, co-drummer for the Grateful Dead and Sy started a new band called the Trichromes. Their first CD was released in 2002 on 33rd street records. Trichromes toured behind the album until 2003. Sy Klopps retired after this venture to his digs in Mendocino.
