Ahh bugger! So sorry I missed this yesterday.

Happy 78th, Tony.    That's a lovely birthday card       Hope you had a wonderful day.

I actually still clearly remember reading the news on Ceefax/Oracle, and watching how it developed from "someone from Eric Clapton's band" to "a guitarist" to eventually finding out the full details of his and the other's tragic deaths.

SRV lost to us in a helicopter crash 35 years tomorrow. He was just 35 years old at the time and playing some of his best stuff after kicking addiction. IMO one of the greatest blues guitarists.

Spooky!

Just came here to post this on the anniversary of his last performance on 26th.

Prince was seriously underrated as a guitarist by many.
It's a little 'showy' for me though.

Hat man is Marc Mann. He played the Concert for George in 2003 and really nailed a lot of George's slide work. In this he plays the first solo (Eric's in the original Beatles record).

He may not have friends, but he appears to have a daft hat & is not ashamed to wear it.

Is he American?

New album out from Buddy

A bit of Bobby

Shit!

Bobby Whitlock

You'll often see them getting a jog on to collect if one is a dangler. Followed by a break to recover, of course

ABB band + guest.     Skip to 1h49m if you want the guest bit.

[In the 19th March show:]

Allman Brothers Band give their version of The Sky is Crying with extended guitar solos by Warren Haynes & Derek Trucks. In particular, Warren's guitar work here is sensational.

I air guitar the entire thing most nights before I go to bed. 

Eric joined ABB for a couple of shows in March 2009 @ Beacon Theatre, NY.
If you haven't seen it then it's worth looking up on YT. I think all the footage is there from both nights.

Hahaha

I think that's his 'costume'

There has not been any decent music or good bands since around 1990, maybe earlier, but yes, that one Curtis put up is almost decent.

Have you seen/heard much of Joe Bonamassa?
He has the most insane guitar collection!

Here's some that's quite rare - a cover of an EC song actually done well!

1 to add to the modern Blues list.

Christone "Kingfish" Ingram. Good place to start is on Jools Holland's programme.

A sublime young guitarist. Can make Hendrix and Prince come alive. Toured extensively with Buddy Guy while still a Teenager.

Probably needs to work on his fitness just a little bit! Otherwise we might not have him for long.

One for Tikay
