The overlays of the time code, etc., are a bit of a distraction, but the sound is not half bad; noticeable is the lack of the usual Cream 'thunder', due to the fact playing through massed Marshall stacks at full volume probably would have shredded the fairly delicate sound equipment found in TV studios at the time...

Also nice to see Clapton playing a Gibson Firebird...

Also a big fan of Clapton. First heard of him when a San Francisco FM station began playing Mayall cuts with Clapton featured. I did get to see Mayall perform live, back in the early eighties, at the Roxy Theater on the Sunset Strip in LA; the theater is not very big, maxes out at 500, if you pack it with an SRO crowd (the fire marshals are not too keen on that idea); that night, the Roxy had table seating in front of the stage and I was lucky enough to get a seat right at the front at center stage; the big draw, other than Mayall himself, was Mick Taylor on guitar; the lineup that night was quartet, bass, drums, two guitars, with mayal sometimes on harp and keyboard...

Here is a clip of Mayall and Mick Taylor in the very early days:





...and a Clapton clip of the first cut of his I heard in SF:

The drum track is awesome on this Vienna. You spoke of Eric Clapton. Does it get any better than Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood of Blind faith Fame ?


This was from the 2010 Crossroads festival. This is how good rock music was meant to be.

I think that must be a Fender 'Battle Star' the guy on the right is playing

Most everyone is familiar with the great B. B. King recording of The Thrill Is Gone, but few are aware of the original recording of the song from 1951:





Speaking of Kings, here is Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughn jamming together in a studio in Canada in 1983; really miss them both:
