Precisely! It's what I still try to capture my own way And the demo Clapton gave , in the Cream footage This is a go to for guitarists Anyone that Loves Blues! ;)
Clapton chose the Les Paul and a Marshall 2x12 combo for this outing. The amp, which had to be cranked to crazy volume to get this tone, is to this day nicknamed the Marshall Blues Breaker.
I was 6 when this happened grew up in religious family and I wasn't exposed to this until my late 20"s and early 30's. I played rhythm guitar in the church Blue Grass band. I just new that the blues were the alternative to country, felt it ran through my veins having loved gospel blue grass, the blues is now all I really listen to. In fact I didn't know who SRV and The Allman Bros were until my wife's cousins husband Louie turned me on to them, I literally said how could I not have known them, I realized main stream music rock radio stations didn't PLay the blues. Once I left home and went in the Navy, thats when I heard The Doors and Santana. Boy I really was sheltered, I have found the music I truly love the last half of my life, imagine if would have stayed that up tight guy, my parents wanted me to be, I would have missed the best things life had to offer. In a narrow minded, judgemental overly opinionated jerk. Its been such a great journey, just finding the blue's, being more mature. I got to say many things expanded my thinking, not all legal either. I am so grateful I have lived at such a time as this, to experience the 60's a little late, but seriously music and experimentation with things finding out what it all means to go to edge, in my humble experience is worthy of seeking what it is all about, the blues is only truly understood when you lived them in my case said F IT. When I took the swan dive off the edge, nothing compares, yea some people would say. Man look what happened to him, he made some poor choices, honestly to that I have lived loved and laughed more then most humans have ever on this planet, life is what you make of it, went in to say partying a little nieve, but that's what made it a blast, the unknown crazy ass times, some really beautiful people too that lived and loved me through the journey, I still got love for them all.. cus I don't judge anyone now live and let go that's the trick you have to find for your damb self at the end of a bottle were the pain of love makes the BLUES come into focus no other way and you find yourself in every song in every note and even the silence between them. Be grateful if you live through it too, it ain't over yet. enjoy the Blues baby thats liven..
So great to hear! Most 17 year olds now, listen to nothing but that , rap, hip hop, bs, or whatever it’s called. Sorriest excuse for music in my 50 plus years of life. Carry on the “ ole school “ 👏🏼🤝
@@gillisBR549 I love the blues, but some rap isn’t that bad. They just have to have good lyrics and good beats. Non of that “I f0ck these b1tches” bullcrap
I'm just turned 71. I remember the middle to late 60s in particular, when there was some good 'pop' but much very banal, but I was electrified to discover the existence of various blues clubs playing in pub basements, upstairs rooms and so on. I guess the price to get in was the cost of maybe a couple of pints and less than a price of a single record. Saw so many good bands then and the magic of blues has been with me ever since.
*Yeah, baby, now you're talking. At one time, there was a competition between Clapton and Mike Bloomfield. Bloomfield conceded to Clapton as a guitar god. Bloomfield himself was no slouch. My older brother got to jam with him at a club in Cupertino California. A year later, Bloomfield died from a supposed drug overdose.*
I was fortunate enough to grow up in Chicago in the ‘60s and see Butterfield and Bloomfield several times around town. I remember Butterfield show up at a gig once in a white Cadillac convertible, park in front of the club and toss the keys to some kid and tell him to park it. He was a tough guy...you didn’t mess with him. We also saw Clapton with the Blues Breakers at a teen club called the Cellar in Arlington Heights and then with Cream at the same club. That was before everything was arena shows. Saw The Who, Buffalo Springfield, Three Dog Night and several others there as well.
John Mayall is a genius . He made " Bluesbreakers" with Eric Clapton , A Hard Road with Peter Green and Cusade with Mick Tayor . I have all 3 albums .Need say no more.
This is blues man, this is not Rock...the purest blues only compared with Robert Johnson who is the Father of John, Eric, and the rest, nobody like them whatsoever...long live to blues
@@MrCascarria Por eso está diciendo que este álbum puede ser el mejor del BLUES BRITÁNICO, es decir, lo que se conoce normalmente como "blues blanco". Se entiende que no engloba, en absoluto, al blues tradicional afroamericano. Ahora yo te pregunto ¿quién o quienes, son los padres musicales de Robert Johnson?
@@luiseduardoalcantara8332 te doy 2 william Patton, Charly Brown...busca otros y me cuentas...pero el legado de el trasciende hasta nuestros días, sino revuelve entre tus baules y mira a ver de donde se agarran: Eric Clapton, Jimmy page, keith Richards, moody waters...etc. Nice blues time for you man, byyyyyeeee...
what makes this a classic historical recording was HOW this was recorded...all musicians playing together, no overdubs, isolated booths, over production...you know the drum track is a real drum track, actual musicians playing--truth!!!
Not entirely true. Clapton's amp was cranked so loud it bled into all the other tracks so they had to go back and re-record some vocal tracks. Also there are some over dubbed guitar tracks on the record. For the most part you are correct though.
I just had my 43rd birthday and I've been playing guitar since I was 10. Regretfully, I've never perused my passion, but I've always kept playing enough not to loose my ability. There's been times when I had no guitar at all to even strum a chord. I believe that playing music for myself and others is what I'm meant to do. People that are deeply depressed need to find out what their passion is and pursue it. I feel that each of us has a special gift that they need to Express and mine is playing blues guitar, and just plugging straight into a great VALVE TUBE amp dialed in just right. And recording live with a soulful rhythm section just as it was done in the past. So now at 43 with no children, no wife, and nothing really to hold me back I am going to PROVIDE a certain kind of audience with pure soulful blues.
The album that changed the world! Then I found out recently that the hands on production of it was by a young English fella named Jimmy Page!!! Have You Heard?
@@davidmartin7081 Not true. Mike Vernon produced the record. Mike also produced the odd tracks of Eric and Jimmy playing together (mostly in Mike's Bathroom). I worked with Mike from 1967 and he taught me how to record very loud guitar amps with an array of Mics - he was the real expert. Sorry to appear brusque, it's not you it's other so called "experts" pontificating on this recording when they were severasl thousand miles away or not even born... Pete. PS Do a search on here for the Bluesbreakers version of "Stormy Monday" live {it's easy to find). Recorded at The Flamingo in Wardour St. London it gives a real taste of Eric's live sound with John.
This was one of the First Albums that drove me to play Guitar . Second was On the boards by Taste with Rory Gallagher. I Never stopped playing the Guitar since then and i Never will👍❤️
@@jannic_54 Hi brother ! I believe we are two blues guitar players for a long time and I can imagine an amazing session together... let our blues dreams roll !!!
@@jannic_54 OOOOh thanks a lot man, i'm gonna hear these albums tonite. I'm happy cause we have the same guitar heros and bands. I saw Rory in Lyon France 1974 some acid in my head : his notes were like stars in the sky. He's one of my favorits guitar player ! friendly yours
Hope he stopped singing 🤣 His vocals were always sub par to say the least. He could have had Rod the Mod, but was too proud. Missed a great opportunity
Wouldn't that have been freaking great to see Clapton play a bar back in the day. I'd have been there every night if the gig lasted a year. What a great record. In 69 I saw John Mayall at Midwest Rockfest here in Milwaukee, the Turning Point era. Clapton was there in Blind Faith.
Eric was the best blues gitaris at the time and then meet with john the godfather of british blues... .love this album....love you john and Eric best of the best...greeeting from indonesia
This is arguably some of Clapton’s finest work. He is on fire throughout. I only discovered him when Disraeli Gears was released. Sunshine of Your Love was on the radio and I was befuddled as to how he played like that. I knew nothing about overdubbing . Of course no one I had ever heard up until then played that fluidly either.
Just listen to his Stormy Monday solo on the live John Mayall track. Clapton really was at his best then, and the sense that track gives of being right there in a small club is rally kind of unique.
I bought this album in the '60s, must have been '67. Mayall is hall of fame. He made the careers of many musicians by taking them in under his wings and eventually stars in their own right
Been a fan since the 60`s thanks to a cat who turned me on to John and the Bluesbreakers...and, yes, Mayall sure knew how to pick ace guitar players....still gives me goosbumps...
Se no Brasil , vou mais longe no mundo todos gostasse de boas músicas haveria Paz menos violência ao invés liberar armamentos derrete todos e fabrica instrumentos esse é a nessecidade no momento vocês iram se surpreender todos não importa a classe social todos tem talentos .
@Benjamin S I can't forget Mick Taylor's sound which was made from the same ingredients, when I saw John Mayall live here in Greece in Lycabetus Theater, around 1980. For a guitarist this is a reason to live..... (well...almost)
It sure did for me. I bought a new Deluxe Sunburst Les Paul and a late-60s 50-watt Plexi Marshall head and 8x10 box (reportedly ex-Small Faces) in 1974 in Melbourne, Australia, where I live. I still have the Les Paul but stupidly sold the Marshall in the late 70s to get a (shit) Roland combo (I had bought a smaller car). Ended up with a new early 80s 50w 2x12 Marshall combo but sold it a few years back because it just wasn't getting used and I needed the money. Another regret...
Strange, I feel completely at home listening to this music, at the age of 21, this 1966! And still this music can make me want to dance and shake my head. Stange.
John Mayall, the Rock of Blues in Britain. I have known what he was about from the first time I heard the opening riff of "All your lovingest loving" and soon after bought my first guitar. He is still my mentor. Honest and dedicated and still alive. We celebrate the same birthday. I don't live far from Macclesfield either. John Mayall, please!
tendría aprox.16 años cuando escuche a los blues breackers, prque ví el nombre de Eric Clapton y me anime a comprar el LP, que en México eran importados y por lo tanto muy caros $, saludos desde CdMx.
yo estaba en prepa y tienes razon los discos importados eran muy caros aca en GDL. MEX uno doble en 1973 me costo 230.00 era entoncesun buen dinero , como una semana de raya pero me valio madre y lo compre, desde entonces, sigo escuchando la mejor musica de todos los tiempos o sea los 60 y un poco los 70s. saludos
I am a 'boomer' born in the fifties and hit teen years in the late 60's. Most of the bands I liked I found out about through friends and record stores, not the radio or TV (or social media). When you got an album you got to hear the gamut of what the band played instead of just the 'hit' on the radio, which was overplayed, a cut down version, and not necessarily representative of the bands capabilities and real style. Now people are brainwashed into what to like and it is all about popularity, not talent or soul...
Thanks for posting, great memories. My older brother turned his younger sisters on to amazing music and took us to concerts. Janis, Jimi, Cream, Tull, so many more. But I have always loved the blues.
My dad used to play this on a tape in his Renault 20 back in the early 90s, my first blues album that I memorized, I wasn't even 5 at the time and I still know most of the songs by heart!
Mr. Maz , Thanks for providing this musical masterpiece for my thirsty ears . I played the life out of my original vinyl copy by 1968 & had all but forgotten this sonic gem . This is one ol' hippie who is totally transported back to the best years of my existance ... PEACE !!!
I was thirteen when I bought this at my local record store. I must have been flipping through a bin of vinyl and out of curiosity I picked this album. I had no idea of what I had just bought. To say that my musical tastes changed is an understatement. I went from the Beach Boys to pure unadulterated blues and bogey. I was never the same. 🎸✌️☮️
John, I saw you at the Van Guard in the village. After years of listening to I on 9 track with endless looping, I never read the titles When you stick a mi in my face and asked what song I wanted to hear,: I NEVER, sae so I left you standing there cause I was dumbfounded by your youth and swimming suit. We sat in my rocking chair for a year together so forgive me. I took up the blues harmonica and we played together, in my own mind. It's funny because I pictured you then as you look now. Loved you then as I still do now. Loved every second being with you since you have me comfort my loneliness. ❤❤
Love the guitar wizardly on "Little Girl" ! Hell I love the whole album have for years. I was eleven when this was happening! I think about the evolution of music in between then and now and hang my head and cry. You Tube what's with all the G.D. commercials on this? Destroys the full album thing and none of us listening are buying anything man! Stop it!
Hearing Eric in this era and Eric after the mid 70s, it's like "Where did this guy go?". He had such a powerful tone, touch, and feeling to his playing.
Jimi shook him to the core. I LOVE early Clapton ala Bluesbreakers and Cream but Hendrix's arrival on the scene correlates with when Clapton started losing his MOJO. I think Eric wanted to distant himself from Jimi's style blues and rock etc... Idk but sadly Eric was never the same.
@@Voodoo66Chile Uh, no. Hendrix is a small part of the story (this way of thinking is more worshipping at the alter of Hendrix after they murdered him [27's], their sacrifices work to make cults). Clapton wanted to play different music, was a runner, and just trying to find some peace. On YT you can find the bio: A Life in 12 Bars, well done personal documentary.
He changed from playing Gibson guitar to becoming a Fender bender, losing the sub-harmonics & power that only Gibson can give. Bring on the Gibson/Fender wars!
best listen, in the morning, after a good night sleep, as I used 2 do, since I was a Clapton student & needed an outlet 4 music, since, Segovia wasn't home, ha ! ha!
I can remember when this first came out I was still at school. I went into our local record shop , Which in those days had booths in which my best friend, Bob, and I squeezed into. We immediately graduated from listening to Loving spoonful to the blues, which have stayed with us both ever since. In fact my friend Bob still heads up a blues band to this day such was the impact of this album on our lives. 😂😂
This is just one of those magical albums that spawns players. It's been said that the first Velvet Underground album only sold 20k copies but each person that bought one started a band.
Im pretty sure the copy I had, in Scotland, circa 1964, had Clapton reading the Beano upside down, wish I had it today as it would be worth a bloody fortune.
Thank you John Mayall for giving Eric direction. What i mean is, you gave him a room at your house an access to your huge record collection of blues, which helped lay down his foundation and the fact of your older but wiser knowledge in blues music, allowed Clapton to turn into the God he became and where he met the two other gods an formed Cream.
Man, i was just heading off to elementary school. But my brothers turned me on to "Blues/Rock guitar" music in my teens. Plus weed but that's another story....
One of The Truly Great Albums!....Mayall really is a great composer, arranger, writer and lead musician. Gave many young players a break in the early stages of their careers, John McVie being one. Thanks
@@abw48 Here, white is not the color of the skin, but a matter of the origin of suffering. The white man also has his blues (suffering), but it is still different. No one enslaved the white man. A white man cries because he has less money. The black man cried over the loss of his freedom.
@@Sinisa599 : Your ignorance of history is obvious as the ''white man'' has been enslaved by Arabs, and each other. The Africans sold the Africans to the European slaver traders as the Europeans learned the slave trade from the Arabs... Read a book, it will help you understand no Race are above reproach. When you say ''here'' I have no idea where your ''here'' is located, but if its in the USA then I suggest the black man in the USA has enslaved himself today as he blindly follows the Democratic Party without knowing hes being used as a useful idiot, plus they are shooting each other, rather like the Tribal Wars in Africa today.
Bought this LP at 15 or !6 just getting into the blues didn't fully appreciate it at first and shelved it for a few years. Thankfully I came to my senses and held on it
This awesome,, My dad came home after his hard day at work.son u have to hear this album.. mind u I was 12yrs old..also Sargent peppers in 67?.lm just so grateful to dad..SUCH PLEASANT MEMORIES.
@@pedrohilson5461 My art teacher said once: Everything you never get bored of looking at, is art. I would like to add: and never get bored of listening to also is. Thank you Pedro for your good wishes. I hope that 2021 will be good to you and the people you care for. All the best from England.
