And Clapton Didn't Even Know

I too saw West Bruce and Laing in 1973 in Long Beach.

Here's a partial list of guitarist that Jack Bruce was in bands with:

- John McLaughlin
- Eric Clapton
- Larry Coryell
- Leslie West
- Lou Reed
- Steve Hunter
- Mick Taylor
- Gary Moore
- Clem Clempson
- Robin Trower
- Allan Holdsworth
- Rory Gallagher
- Peter Frampton
- Vernon Reid
- Phil Manzanera

It's an impressive list, but then again, he was Jack Bruce.

BTW, for anyone who watched the documentary, is it my imagination, or was there an uncanny similarity toward the end of his career between the sound of Jack's voice and style and that of Elvis Costello? Wonder if Costello is also a Bruce fan and was influenced by him?

I've only made it thru the first 15 minutes, but, so far, I'm lovin it. I'll try to finish it today.

Onhwy,

Great list. I'd have guessed that John McVie would have had the best list

(Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, Jeremy Spencer, Bob Welch, Lindsey Buckingham, Dave Mason, Rick Vito, among others)

But I gotta admit that Jack's list trumps John's. Now I have a whole new "best of" list to think about. ;-)

John McVie surely has the best list of guitar players he has played with over the years in a single band/act.
