Cream — Stormy Monday


Wanted to share this cause it’s Cream really well recorded. I can’t play their older stuff on the big rig as much as I like it because it’s not well recorded and I just can’t. But I recently found this recorded live in Royal Albert Hall in 2005 that IS well recorded, and it includes possibly the best Clapton guitar solo I’ve heard and one of my faves ever given its combination of intricacy and musicality — and it’s three masters at work. Fun to watch here, but you can pull it off Qobuz, turn the lights way down and be transported to Royal Albert Hall.  Pretty fun.

There's plenty of great blue guitarist doing their cover of Stormy Monday,  and there's Eric Clapton taking ownership of the great T- Bone Walker classic.

The 2 other guys aren't bad either.

"Played as a generic I/IV/V, the tune always sounds oversimplified/truncated to me"

"That’s a poor choice of words. He hasn’t taken “ownership” of the song any more than any other guitarist or band has — it’s just their interpretation"

LOL! GOOD GREIF!

Soix- Simply MY observation as a 50+ year guitar wanker..

Weird YOU start a thread, and make such a comment.

There are some old, grumpy "get off my  lawn!" posters in here.

Save the energy for a cable, fuse or digital vs analog thread
