Anyway, did he die in 1993 like it says in allmusic?

Knowing the AMG, it seems likely that some musician named Bob Harris
died in 1993, but it may or may not have been our Bob Harris #1. I do know that it wasn't our Bob Harris #2.

Are there any good, improvised solos by him on any of FZ's LPs (Live
at the Fillmore, John and Yoko "Sometime in NY, or Playground Psychotics)?

He plays a solo on Billy The Mountain on Playground Psychotics. You can decide for yourself if it's good.

On Fillmore 1917, he sings "Well, it gets me so hot I could scream"
(What Kind Of Girl Do You Think We Are?).

On Playground Psychotics, he sings in the center with Jim on Concentration Moon. And says "Jerry Lewis had hosted a telethon" in
Billy The Mountain.

Does he play any solos on Fillmore, 1971?- Hide quoted text -

More news on Bob Harris#1-
I was emailed yesterday by a guy who played drums with BH#1 in the
1960s at Valley College in L.A.
He said BH#1 was a fine jazz pianist who played in both the Valley
College big band and an experimental Valley College group (probably
closer to FZ's type of stuff).
Judee Sill also went to Valley College in the 60s, and Pete Christlieb
played in the VC jazz ensemble.

Bob Harris played keyboards in our local Hollywood rock band during 1967-1968. The band was Shade of Dawn. Both of Bob's sisters and I worked with the band, and I got my best friend the job as their drummer. This was during the time he was married to Judee Sill. My friend and I saved Bob & Judee's lives one night, and here is that story. I am a performance poet and I wrote a poem about saving them that night. It can be found at the bottom of the page on my FaceBook chapbook of multi-media poems called "Wordsongs - FB Chapbook #1: The Perspective View Of The Endless New". Like I said, it is at the bottom of the page and is titled, "1968 - HOW I SAVED JUDEE SILL (and our keyboard player, Bob Harris)."
