Origins in Canada

In its original late 1960s incarnation, the Full Tillt Boogie Band Till played in the group as a side project from his usual gigs as a New York City studio musician. Like Till, the other members of the band were Canadians, mostly hailing from Stratford and Woodstock, Ontario, Canada. Richard Bell was recruited by Michael Friedman back stage at a Ronnie Hawkins gig at the Fillmore East in 1969. Friedman was Albert Grossman's assistant at the time. He went backstage after the gig and approached Bell. Ronnie Hawkins got wind of it and almost got into a fight with Friedman.
