Some. But in d 60s 70s i already know how great and innovatice mcguinn was. He was a musical genius. Especially when Lovers of tbe bayou came out. It was a musical masterpiece !
This was a totally different drum beat from the one Michael Clarke played on the original version of Eight Miles High. And McGuinn simplified his guitar playing significantly here as well. Hmm….
You are referring to a benefit concert Clapton had in Brentwood. This is a benefit for Crossroads Drug Treatment Center in Antigua. Please get your facts straight. RFK Jr. is a whacko and EC (and Stills) should be ashamed of supporting him.
Eight Miles High is musically interesting and original because it ISN'T pentatonic blues riffs stitched together - Clapton demonstrates here he's painted himself into a box and can't get out...
Ridiculously ignorant comment. Eric Clapton wrote Layla which is arguably the greatest rock song of all time. And it is not pentatonic blues. I've been playing guitar for over four decades and I can tell you that Eric Clapton can handle playing 8 Miles high.
Except he obviously didn't - he found the key and played pentatonic boxes - period. PS - Layla isn't even a "rock" song. I own it - on the original vinyl - I like it just fine - but be real - it doesn't "rock" at all. Even a little...@@Joe-mz6dc
