And Clapton Didn't Even Know

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.

Um...McVie also played in the Bluesbreakers with Clapton, no?

Frogman, thanks for the video (with a clickable link). A great watch and it has made me re-evaluate "We're Going Wrong". One thing that was nice in the video was how many references there were to Bruce's vocal talents. Like B.B. King, Bruce is primarily known as an instrumentalist, but he was a marvelous vocalist. I see your point about Elvis Costello.

Tostado,

McVie started with the Bluesbreakers just as Clapton left the band (in July, 1966). As far I can tell, they never actually played together. That's certainly not definitive, but, based on what I've been able to find, I don't think McVie crossed paths with EC in that band.
