Music writing is so bad these days - Lester Bangs must be spinning in his grave. It should be:

Ryan Adams Plays New Songs In London, Album Coming

I love the take of Happy and Tumbling Dice from that film. You can see Keith yelling at Mick Taylor - pretty funny.

I would like to have seen them back in the day, but I wouldn't bother now.

I think I can see your point. I just always saw them as a get in there and knock it out sort of band. Of course, that may depend on which era we are talking about. I suppose Sticky Fingers may be the first polished sounding Stones album. When I listen to live albums from that time I try to recall that most bands did have that great of a sound system to work with. But the power and energy that makes the Stones sound comes through on that album.

That is interesting and weird. I never thought of the Stones as much of a studio band.

I am guessing since Eric sold all of his guitars, he just uses stock Fenders now? From what I have seen in various videos, the ones he plays look new. I've been under that bridge in a ship a time or three.

He also played one (an ES-335) of those towards the end of Cream.

I would think her tirade had to do with the demons in her head, and her holy roller belief system. Plus - everything gets recorded and shared these days.

Here's one of them: Greatest Guitarists of All Time. It's nice to see Carlos on your list. A joke now, but at one time he was the man.

Max Johnston is Michelle's brother.

That is how it is for me. Probably due to the fact that is what I started out listening to those dudes way back in the last century. Plus - Robert Johnson records are too dam scary to listen to in the dark.

You forgot Jeff Beck and Peter Green (and a whole bunch of others that other people can name). I suppose what I was thinking of was the trinity - Page/Beck/Clapton.

I don't know about all that, but Eric was Jimi's hero. It's one of the reasons he came to England. Chas told him him knew Eric, and could arrange a meeting/jam.

I think that is a good way to put it - laid back and mellow. I think that is called "The Tulsa Sound". I was going to say I don't own any Clapton solo albums, but I actually have a copy of Backless that someone gave me years ago. Speaking of sound, one of things I don't like about the Layla album is that some of the songs were "sped up".

I believe you are right.

And he used a Telecaster (sometimes a Les Paul) during the Blind Faith era.

I don't think it's about guitars. I think he just changed with the times. And he probably had a record company on his back to produce hit records at various points along the way. I just listen to the stuff of his I like and go with that.

A couple of other great albums - Derek and the Dominos Live At The Fillmore East album, and The Rainbow Concert album.

Steve Earle was there the other night also.

I have the following albums, but I don't think I have listened to any of them in a long time. That's about it for me.

I guess he does not go for people putting it up there. I just checked and noticed they are going to rebroadcast the show on March the 20th.

I have never seen any of the Weir Here shows. Does he always do that? I was thinking he was doing a Johnny Carson deal.

The only cds my public library has are classical music cds. Somewhere in Time was the last one I bought. I've heard most of the albums since then.
