Lucky Man was a great cut. These guy merged classical music with rock, and they did it well

ROCK REVIEW Eric Clapton at the Junction of Precision and Improvising By BEN RATLIFF Published: June 30, 2004 ..The core of the show, bracketed by old hits, was music from his new album, "Me and Mr. Johnson" (Reprise), the evenness had another dimension. The album is a tribute to Robert Johnson, and as recent blues scholarship has argued (particularly an insightful book called "Escaping the Delta" by Elijah Wald), Johnson did not particularly prize spontaneity. For the rest of the show, Mr. Clapton essentially ran laps around the track. Most of the set list came from his 2002 live album, "One More Car, One More Rider," with "Hoochie Coochie Man," "Layla," "Badge," "Wonderful Tonight" and "Cocaine." In the encores he had duets with the steel-guitarist Robert Randolph, the concert's opening act, on "Sunshine of Your Love" and "Got My Mojo Working." *** Also accompanying Clapton were, guitarist Doyle Bramhall II, drummer Steve Gadd, bassist Nathan East and keyboardists Chris Stainton and Tim Carmon..

Sharapova and Williams Reach Wimbledon Finals By CHRISTOPHER CLAREY Published: July 1, 2004 Sharapova had her first opportunity today in the semifinals of Wimbledon against former champion Lindsay Davenport, and by the time it ended with a 2-6, 7-6, 6-1 victory, there could no longer be any doubt that Sharapova has the right stuff as well as the right technique.... ...In her first Grand Slam final, the 13th-seeded Sharapova, who represents Russia but has trained primarily in the United States since the age of 8, will face Serena Williams, the No. 1 seeded player and defending champion. Like Sharapova, Williams had to overcome a compromising situation today, pumping her fists, arching her back and howling at the often overcast sky and digging deep into her emotional reserves before defeating Amelie Mauresmo of France, 6-7 (4-7), 7-5, 6-4...

Just calling them as I see 'em

As I sadi in the other thread, John McLaughlin is a pretty amazing guitarist...on a given day, he could spin circles around most... i wonder where john cippolina of quicksilver could have done if he had stuck with it

I agree--the studio version is much better... :bigsmile:

And then there are the jazz/rock guitarists... Pat Matheney, John McGlauglin..these guys are no slouches..

Its ok, Ken...apparently you dont flaunt it

Hendrix played the guitar with his teeth!

I liked the song, and the musicianship, but dont really care for his voice at first...but its growing on me as I listen to more. Prety nice tune.

The drum, of course - its easier to connect

Some of the people on that OTHER list ...should be on this one

What albums are they on?

Listened to Soul Creation - hard driving rock... I liked the guitar Listened to Soul Creation - hard driving rock... I liked the guitar work--basic and raw..

Dont know - its all Greek to me

Ever knock any heads with that thing, Umma?
