Seen Eric live up close a couple times. Truly amazing. Not popular opinion I'm sure, but I think the singing could be better and the drummer is not very imaginative.. feels hurried and busy for busy's sake, not working with the songs.
Eric is so precise. All of the different tones for all the different changes he plays behind his vocals, THEN his solos are so effing articulate! Even his use of feedback is surgically placed! Dude is the most in control player I've ever seen!
4:43 into the riff at 4:46 has me absolutely on edge! I cannot figure out for the life of me HOW IS HE GETTING THAT SOUND,I NEED to figure out how he’s doing that it’s got me absolutely blown away that I’m just now noticing this!
This is just a bit more feeling and rawer than....well....anything Eric's done since Cream...I do love me a proper Englishman who study the blues .....when he goes like this...I like it mucho
Original by Robert Johnson who was taught by Son House who shot a man. Son was sentenced to 15 years but was given a lighter sentence by the appeal by a Caucasian planter that had a lot of pull…. Sometimes it’s who you know.
