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.
"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

@tablejockey I made such a comment because it was a poor choice of words, even for a guitar wanker. Clapton neither professes nor has any “ownership” of this tune, so maybe you wanna clarify what you meant by your words. Otherwise, you’re free to leave. |
@soix I think all tablejockey was saying is that Clapton’s version of the tune is definitive, FOR HIM. "No reason to get excited", the thief he kindly spoke. That’s from Bob Dylan. Don’t want anyone accusing me of stealing. If you think someone is saying something inappropriate, you can ask them what they mean before getting angry. That's better for all of us. |
