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.
@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. |
@tomcy6 First, I’m not angry — I just merely said I take issue with the assertion that Clapton took “ownership” of the song, which is utter hogwash given many other bands/guitarists have covered this song. Second, and if you read my prior post, I clearly asked if that poster would care to clarify his words. If he wants to, fine. And if not, fine and he’s perfectly able to “get off the lawn.” I still take issue with the words he used initially. |
@stuartk Apparently he can have his opinions but you’re not entitled to yours — hypocrisy. Good grief. |
