John Mayall has passed away

Clapton's playing on that album is indeed some of the best of his career. I can't say it's my favorite. Forced to choose just one album, I'd pick Layla, mostly because I prefer its more melodically and harmonically sophisticated song structures, but for straight Blues played by Brits, Beano is about as good as it gets. I love P. Green's playing with F. Mac but I can't honestly say it's better. 

Agree tony1954. That was a stupid comment, and not even funny.

Saw him a couple years ago, first time since the early 70s. Carolyne Wonderland was the star of the show but John was still bringing it. RIP to an important elder.

RIP to a great one

It's all good - one doesn't have to be better than the other.

A bit off topic but if you like FM with P. Green then check out this one.

Back to Mayall - This one is a fun listen to somebody that never let age get in the way of good music and a good time.  Fortunately, I purchased mine b4 they became scarce - $heesh.  Check out who is standing to his left.
