Oh yeah! I know this song! I was 10 years old when it came out and was on the radio and it still sounds fantastic today, a bit like blue jeans swaying in the rain and sun.
Masters, yes, the best, NO! There are others equally as good, God (James Patrick) David Gilmour, Jeff Beck, Paul Kossoff, Richie, Gary Moore, and the list goes on. If you have favs thats awesome, you love great music, but to say the best, it's way too subjective. Always climb that Stairway!
Doyle really shines, that tone is always so right on. EC is brilliant. Derek is Derek, which no one can argue with though I am guessing someone will try.
Hail to "SLOWHAND", CBE Mr. EC, the king of the blues... And special thanks to Mrs. (Ms. ?), Michelle John & Sharon White for background vocals & gymnastics ;-))))
Actually no, Derek is much more staccato than Duane, not as fluid. Duane played a bit like Dickey, more melodic, something i'm surprised Derek isn't , considering he grew up under Dickey. Derek tends to overdo solos, just way to many notes, listen here, he plays twice as many a Eric or Doyle, yet says half as much. Nope, i don't hear a lot of Duane in him. More like Knopfler.
Since my band is now playing this song, I watched this again to get some more lick ideas for my own soloing at the end. But after watching Derek and Doyle's solos, I only know what I can't achieve. But I'll try to utilize going up and down one single string horizontally more like Derek does.
Seems like Eric and Derek are always duelling solos when it comes to the key of A Major. Same thing happened if they jammed together the song "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad" at the ending part which is was solo on A Mayor. They duelling tooℹ
About Derek Trucks I must say, I have never seen him that happy during the years with the Allman Brothers! It seems it's a big relief to him to not be forced to play with them again. I believe in Eric's early years he and Greg Allman jammed together a few times. Yes, and Derek's sound is still similar to Greg's....sad that so many had to leave so early!
Eric Clapton and Duane Allman has jammed. Derek Trucks is named after the album "Derek and the Dominos" (Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs) recorded 3 weeks after Duane Allman and Eric Clapton, first met,
What a bunch of bullshit Hans, I saw Derek every year at the beacon with the Bros - you have no clue what you are talking about you fool. Your post is stupid HANS
you're missing the point bro... it's a celebration of EC's legacy and these youngin's are paying homage to him by playing his licks... we've seen both of them on stage with him multiple times over the years... that love and admiration shines through clearly... certainly Eric is enjoying it immensely.
Huh? That's Derek Trucks and Doyle Bramhall-- Derek is one of the best slide players around today-- and modest!!!! They both can wear out the A chord!!!
This is actually a great recording. Have you tried recording when in the middle of a crowd? It's actually pretty damn hard, so ty to the uploader! Listen to this every other day
Trucks ain't good enough to play over Clapton's solo, what an ego he has - hes not written anything like what Clapton has and will never play as good as Eric always has.
