The Beyond the Pale website is unusually silent - except for the Paramounts (Who? Uhmmm, exactly) getting together after 40+ years.

What a treat! Thanks to Peter Gordon for taking the time, expense and trouble to send it to me and, of course, to Jay for the resourses he spent putting it all together. Here a couple of things I thought worth mentioning and asking: 1. I initially had difficulty in viewing the DVDs. My 3-yr old player played only the first half of each disk and then hung and skipped. My computer burner did worse - garbbling the audio badly. I suspect that the difficulty lay in what I suspect was the PAL format. I solved the problem easily for $79.99 at (good old) Costco. A DVD/VCR combo "Go Video," a good (disposable) player. My former player was GoVideo also, and I experiened zero problems w/it in 3 yrs - it's just somewhat obsolete now. 2. Jay made need our help in the future rebuilding his collection after the Hurricane damage - lightening - to his computer. 3. Does anyone have a track listing (w/video source) of this collection? I have not found any cover art and want to put something together... HNY! Cheers, Mel Boss -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Roberts) Date: Fri Jan 6 11:57:23 2006 Subject: [Slowhand] Off Topic (OT) - LOSING THE PAST - BBC radio 4 programme. Message-ID: More on the challenges of the deterioration of recordings... "A timely investigation into the loss of cultural, public and historical records, both analogue and digital, as a result of deterioration or advances in technology. Music and film don't fare much better. Valuable music recordings can't be played anymore because of tape damage. For example, the master tapes of rock classics like the Eagles' Hotel California , or REM's Automatic for the People have fallen victim to "sticky shed syndrome", which means the tape is literally sticking together as its chemical constituents come apart. Other recordings are in better shape, but are still at risk of being lost as the technology has become obsolete, and so the machinery to play them is becoming increasingly rare. While films from the 1920s are so flammable they have to be kept in low-temperature bunkers away from human dwellings. In Part One of Losing the Past, Richard Hollingham investigates specific examples of what is now unplayable or unreadable. For example, he can reveal for the first time, that the UK population census data from 1951 are lost, as are significant parts of the 1961 and 1971 census data. And he hears from the long-term percussionist of The Grateful Dead, Mickey Hart, why the Grateful Dead, unlike other leading touring bands, still have all their master tapes intact. He also finds out about successful efforts on both sides of the Atlantic for preserving and recuperating sound and music.

However on this occasion they are both partly correct. I remember reading an article in an obscure film magazine many years ago regarding Howard Hawks stating that he could make a successful movie from Hemmingway's least memorable offering, namely 'To Have And Have Not' (a 1940s Bogart/Bacall movie). Well, he succeeded and the movie was a huge hit. The story then went off on a slight tangent relating similar circumstances in other fields; sport, politics and music. Now it has been more than 15 years since I read this and I forget most of the other info, but the crux of the music section was this: Eric, Ronnie, Pete Townshend and Glyn Johns were at Ronnie's farm for one of the usual drinking nights (this was when Eric and Ronnie 'plonk' Lane were seriously into drinking). There had been talk about filler album tracks and below-par material released by the record companies. The upshot of all this was Eric making a drunken boast that he could write some trite and syrupy lyrics with a simple melody, and it would not only pass for album material, but he could probably get away playing it for at least two tours. Eric writing the song while Pattie was getting ready probably did happen in their home. So as much as us disliking WT being played infinitum, it probably irks Eric ten fold to have to keep playing such a crowd favourite, considering its rather ignominious beginning.

Yes, sure! And I'm amazed at the intellectual contortations certain non-fans or "former fans" will go through to make certain musicians, Eric Clapton included, appear bad. :) Well, Clapton himself has confirmed, that large areas of his memory have been erased due to substance abuse. For instance,he always gets the years totally wrong, when talking about his past. Could be, that he just isn't so much interested in his past as some of his former fans??

So, "at home" is relative to someone like Eric - even now. Here's an extract from the Charlie Hart website: http://www.charliehart.com/pages/biography.htm "Charlie left and joined Ruan O'Lochlainn, Johnny Duan in St. James' Gate, a band which soon metamorphosed into Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance. Charlie played mostly fiddle and accordion and lived at Ronnie's farm, the Fishpool. He worked on numerous albums and hung out with a lethal combination of rock and roll A-list (Clapton, Townshend, Small Faces, etc.) and Shropshire farmers. The band toured Europe by train and boat with Clapton's band and influenced a host of future bands." (The Fishpool is a B&B today, available (with photographs inside and out) on the web somewhere. A very humble dwelling.) Here's another interesting snippet, care of Marc Roberty's "Clapton: The Complete Chronicle". "Prior to chartering The Welsh Liberty, a sleek steel hulled yacht, (probably on 1 August 1977) that would take him and the band from Cannes to Ibiza for a concert at the bull ring, Eric got together with Ronnie Lane and old Roosters bandmate, Tom McGuinness, played an amazing show at the Drum and Monkey pub in Shropshire, Ronnie's local at the time. Holding it in the car park on a hot summer evening set off the mood perfectly. A lengthy version of "Stormy Monday" gave Clapton ample opportunity to demonstrate his skills with some scorching lead work. The three-hour show ended with a version of Bob Dylan's "If You Gotta Go". " I have separate newsprint pictures of Eric, Ronnie and Tom at the Drum and Monkey gig in July 1977 (exact date not known) - each playing a National Steel acoustic guitar, but unfortunately lost the concert review. It appeared in Melody Maker, NME, Sounds or some such music rag, as did a review of the bull ring show at Ibiza. Eric collaboration with Ronnie Lane at the time is captured on: "Rough Mix" (Pete Townshend and Ronnie Lane), "See Me" (Ronnie Lane) and in a very raw form on "Luck 7" by Ronnie Lane. The best of the bunch is the Clapton/Lane track: "Barcelona". Ronnie's laid-back country squire approach to music had a major influence on Eric as is evident on "Slowhand" and "Backless". In retrospect, it was probably Eric living out his determination to be like the members of The Band. Gives a whole new meaning to the nickname Slowhand, doesn't it? So, in conclusion, Eric's latest statement doesn't negate what has been said by him and others previously. Also, I'm sure Eric's management at the time would not want to promote an image of 3 years after the widely publicised 1974 comeback Eric had his mind set on retiring to the English countryside and would embark on a tour at the whim of Eric and those around him. American interest and sales would have plummeted instantly. I'm sure interview writers also edit what they write, so let's not be too quick to say "Eric said and now he says, what gives?" Plus, Eric's an introvert, besides being a man, so explaining things in detail doesn't come easy to him. Kevin PS.

Eric has always been a chameleon, and indeed Chris Dreja described him as such back when they roomed together at the very beginning of his time as a Yardbird (late 1963 through mid 1964). In his search for perfection, Clapton constantly sought to re-invent himself and this led to some pretty obsessive behavior on his part. 2. When you consider the literally thousands of concerts he's performed in and the hundreds (if not thousands) of studio sessions, it should come as no surprise that his memory is less than perfect. In a similar vein, what's important to us (i.e., when something or what actually happened) is not as important to him. 3. Clapton is in recovery from the disease of addiction. One of the aspects of recovery is the practice of rigorous honesty. I put a lot more credence in what he says today versus what he said 25 or 30 years ago, when he was in the depths of the disease. If you read old Rolling Stone interviews and the like from the 60s and 70s, it's not hard to see that some of the things he said then were quite self-serving. That doesn't mean he's going to bear his soul to any interviewer who comes along today, however. Another aspect of recovery is to not focus on the past except where there's a lesson to be learned about one's self - Eric doesn't spend much time revisiting what he did 25 or 30 or 35 years ago. 4. Bearing #2 above in mind, I actually find his memory to be pretty good, all things considered, particularly since he's been in recovery. 5. I, too, am somewhat amazed at the amount of bandwidth devoted to all of this. It reminds me of the rather obsessive discussion of his performance at the Concert For Bangladesh we has here several months ago.

I really thought he was mocking me.. Well, yesterday a close friend of mine assured me people hired to be memebers of the assistance and security staff during next Lucca rock summer festival edition know for sure Eric will be playing in Lucca and in another Italian town (if it is the same organization the town is likely to be Brescia in the North of Italy which also has a similar rock festival held by the same impresarios). Neither where'seric nor slowhand magazine has mentioned such dates.... Are there any Italian slowhanders who might give more precise news about it as I have been waiitng for 5 years to hear Clapton again... and I'm fibrillating at the mere idea of having him right on the threshold! thank you very much lia -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

U.S. District Judge Harold Baer Jr. dismissed a federal indictment of Jean Martignon, who runs a Manhattan mail-order and Internet business that sells bootleg recordings. Baer found the bootleg law was written by Congress in the spirit of federal copyright law, which protects writing for a fixed period of time -- typically for the life of the author and 70 years after the author's death. But the judge said the bootleg law, which was passed ``primarily to cloak artists with copyright protection,'' could not stand because it places no time limit on the ban. Baer also noted that copyright law protects ``fixed'' works -- such as books or recorded music releases -- while bootlegs, by definition, are of live performances. A federal grand jury indicted Martignon in October 2003 for selling ``unauthorized recordings of live performances by certain musical artists through his business.'' The business, Midnight Records, once had a store in Manhattan but now operates solely by mail and Internet. It sells hundreds of recordings, specializing in rock artists, from the Beatles to Led Zeppelin. An e-mail message to Martignon from the Associated Press was not immediately returned Friday, and a phone number could not immediately be located. Megan Gaffney, a spokeswoman for the Manhattan U.S. attorney, said federal prosecutors were ``reviewing the decision and will evaluate what steps ought to be taken going forward.'' The Recording Industry Association of America, a trade group that fights piracy and bootlegging, also disagreed with the ruling. The decision ``stands in marked contrast to existing law and prior decisions that have determined that Congress was well within its constitutional authority to adopt legislation that prevented trafficking in copies of unauthorized recordings of live performances,'' said Jonathan Lamy, a spokesman for the RIAA. The bootleg law calls for prison terms of up to five years for first offenders and 10 years for second offenders, plus fines. It requires courts to order the destruction of any bootlegs created in violation of the law. The law did not apply to piracy, which is the unauthorized copying or sale of recorded music, such as albums. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Cream had played here in 1967 and 1968. The building was used as a Black Muslim Mosque for a while in the 70s, I believe, but now is once again a music venue. The Fillmore West [originally the Carousel Ballroom] was upstairs on Market Street, near Van Ness. I don't believe that Cream ever played the Fillmore West, which closed in 1971, if I recall correctly. Winterland was an old ice skating rink at Post and Steiner. Some of the Cream shows in 1968 were at Winterland, which closed in 1978 and has since been torn down. Bill Graham presented shows at all three venues at various times during the 60s and 70s.

I have a bootleg CD from the Dec. 2 show and there are a couple of relevant differences. For instance at the beginning Clapton is introduced as "Mr. EC" on the CD and as "the great EC" on the DVD. Also note that Ronnie Lane says "it's Saturday night" before starting his song on the DVD which indicates Dec. 3. (no such remark on the CD). " I don't have the CD. Can anybody offer comments about whether the DVD, http://www.geetarz.org/reviews/clapton/cow-palace-83-dvd-r.htm , could be from Dec 3 ?

It seems to me that being a part of that band would be one hell of a feather in one's cap, so perhaps it not being listed is a result of Andy being asked to depart. Having seen the NBTB rehearsal video and also having attended the Los Angeles show in Nov. 1994 I found nothing wrong with Andy's playing. That said, I do wish Jim Keltner would have been the tour drummer because I totally enjoyed his playing on FTC. Jim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Fillmore Auditorium (Bill Graham's first venue) was located at Fillmore Street and Geary Boulevard. The first show was 10 December 1965 and was headlined by The Jefferson Airplane; the last was on 4 July 1968 and was headlined by Creedence Clearwater Revival. The Fillmore West, which replaced the Auditorium, was located at 10 South Van Ness Ave and 1545 Market Street in San Francisco, CA. in the old Carousel Ballroom. The first show was on 5 July 1968 and was headlined by the Butterfield Blues Band; the last show was on 4 July 1971 and was headlined by Santana. Winterland was located roughly at Post Street and Steiner Street. Originally built as an ice skating rink, it had a capacity of 5,400, it was just a short walk from the original Fillmore Auditorium, located at 1805 Geary Blvd. It is now an apartment building. The first show was on 23 September 1966 and was headlined by The Jefferson Airplane; the last was on 29 May 1971 and was headlined by The Grateful Dead. Much confusion over the years has resulted from Graham booking a band for, say, three nights and have them play the first at the Fillmore (either) and then two nights at Winterland. And he would mix it around other ways as well. And, of course, when people say Fillmore, you don't know which one they're talking about unless you know the date. After 4 July 1968 it's WEST; before, it's AUDITORIUM. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

What Wikipedia has to say: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fillmore "After a few short years there, because of a deteriorating neighborhood, in July 1968 Bill Graham moved from the original Fillmore at Fillmore Street and Geary Blvd to the Carousel Ballroom at the corner of Market and South Van Ness Avenue, which was called Fillmore West (in contrast with Graham's Fillmore East auditorium in New York City). After Bill Graham died in a helicopter crash in 1991, those close to him decided to carry out his final wish and reopen the original Fillmore. The Fillmore has once again become a San Francisco hotspot with shows almost every night." Two from what I can gather there.

Some were actually mis credited as they were actually at Winterland. In 1967 and 1968 the venue may simply have been "The Fillmore" as the "Fillmore East" didn't exist yet. I have a Cream boot from both '67 and '68 that were recorded at The Fillmore.

Bob Enfield << Bob, The first show at NY's Fillmore East was 8 March 1968, after which weekly performances (2 shows each Friday and Saturday, special shows on holidays and Sundays) were the norm. Last show was 27 June 1971. Check out this web site: http://www.fillmore-east.com/showlist.html. I attended a number of the shows during the 1968-1970 period. For several short months prior to the opening of the Fillmore East, there were shows at the Anderson Theater (probably late 1967 or very early 1968 until the Fillmore East opened), around the corner. I attended one or two shows at the Anderson, but there was no control, as ticketless "illegals" entered, in full view of the management, and they were thoroughly unable to gain control of the situation, as Bill Graham did at the Fillmore East. At one show, we couldn't sit in our seats, clearly indicated on our tickets. However, when your ticket said that you were to sit in A17 at the Fillmore East, you actually sat in A17. Bill Graham knew how to manage the place, and there wasn't a bad seat in the house, both visually and sonically. DeltaNick -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

One thing I can add - Winterland closed following a December 31, 1978 extravaganza headlined by the Grateful Dead supported by the Blues Brothers, New Riders of the Purple Sage, and the Flying Karamazov Brothers. The show, much of it broadcast on FM and public TV, lasted all night with breakfast served at dawn.

The Fillmore West, which replaced the Auditorium, was located at 10 South Van Ness Ave and 1545 Market Street in San Francisco, CA. in the old Carousel Ballroom. The first show was on 5 July 1968 and was headlined by the Butterfield Blues Band; the last show was on 4 July 1971 and was headlined by Santana. Winterland was located roughly at Post Street and Steiner Street. Originally built as an ice skating rink, it had a capacity of 5,400, it was just a short walk from the original Fillmore Auditorium, located at 1805 Geary Blvd. It is now an apartment building. The first show was on 23 September 1966 and was headlined by The Jefferson Airplane; the last was on 29 May 1971 and was headlined by The Grateful Dead.

There's one typo in his message, though. Winterland did not close in 1971. It was open throughout most of the 70's, and The Band's "Last Waltz" was filmed there in 1976. As I think Bryan meant to say, It actually closed in 1978, with a show by the Dead.

I think it should have been kept to only one definite version per song. Could have possibly squeezed about 4-5 more songs on them, like: Broken Hearted from Music for Montserrat, Have You Heard from John Mayalls 70th birthday, Ain't Gone 'n Give Up On Love from the Stevie Ray Vaughn tribute or Yer Blues from the Stones Rock and Roll Circus. Although the >From The Cradle rehearsals were good, give me anything from the unreleased Nothing But The Blues video as on this he's of fire. There's nothing from Legends, Creams reunion concerts or Live Aid. As for Badge, why the Live 85 version when you have the real deal in Creams version? I've always disliked the lame "Where is my badge" chorus that EC has been doing for years in concert. It was refreshing to hear the authentic into and outro when Cream played it recently. There are alot of different versions I would have used but then I didn't bother to put this set together for everyone like Jay did, and from what I read here he did an excellent job in doing so and was very generous to share it. I don't have it myself as I already have most of what is on it so all I am doing I guess is playing critic which is basically reflecting my opinion. So if this were on sale as a legitimate set worldwide, I'd have to pass. Once again, my opinion...so what's yours? Art P.S. What, no Wonderful Tonight from Sat. Nite Live?!? COME ON!!! >>>Disc 1: 1.

"Billy had a very catastrophic incident happen to him, but he is doing considerably better," his manager, Joyce Moore, told The Associated Press on Thursday. Preston, 59, is best known for his work with the Beatles, playing the organ on their song "Get Back." He also toured with the Rolling Stones and was a regular member of Eric Clapton's band. His hits include "Nothing From Nothing Leaves Nothing," "Will It Go Round in Circles?" and "You Are So Beautiful To Me." He has suffered from chronic kidney failure brought on by uncontrolled high blood pressure since 2001, Moore said. He had a kidney transplant in 2002, but the kidney failed and he has been on thrice-weekly dialysis treatments ever since. Moore said that while Preston isn't "brain dead" as some reports suggested, he remains seriously ill and is not up and walking around. He cannot speak because he has a tracheotomy. He moved to Scottsdale, Ariz. from Los Angeles about a year and a half ago, Moore said, because he believed he could get better medical treatment in Arizona, home to a branch of the Mayo Clinic. Moore said he's not hospitalized at the clinic, but is in a facility where he can receive physical therapy and other medical treatment. Preston is not contemplating another kidney transplant, she said. "He just decided that he could not go through that again," Moore said. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

He had a kidney transplant in 2002, but the kidney failed and he has been on thrice-weekly dialysis treatments ever since. Moore said that while Preston isn't "brain dead" as some reports suggested, he remains seriously ill and is not up and walking around. He cannot speak because he has a tracheotomy. He moved to Scottsdale, Ariz. from Los Angeles about a year and a half ago, Moore said, because he believed he could get better medical treatment in Arizona, home to a branch of the Mayo Clinic. Moore said he's not hospitalized at the clinic, but is in a facility where he can receive physical therapy and other medical treatment. Preston is not contemplating another kidney transplant, she said. "He just decided that he could not go through that again," Moore said. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <011420061555.7001.43C91F01000DC95400001B592160375964970E06970A0106@att.net> Slowhanders, When I first shared this Vol. One 3 DVD set, there was a part of me that didn't want to immediately supply the song list. I guess I wanted to inject the element of surprise and perhaps induce people to "actually watch it" as opposed to reviewing a track list and then just skipping around. lol....anyway, thats why I did not immediately produce artwork for this within my pet program Photoshop. But I regret not doing the artwork later on. I was planning a special design, but too many things happened along the way. Thanks to all who supplied their efforts in providing this finally. Also, I took a lot of time planning transitions etc. and was trying to create some kind of flow with thoughtful song selection in my own "amateurish" way, that is sometimes missing in commerical releases. I suceeded in pleasing my own tastes to a certain extent. I'm happy to understand that a few of you Slowhanders out there liked it as well. To me it was just to create something that I could sit back and relax and watch. It actually was inspired by trying to give something back to Mark Deavult for his great friendship and generosity. This is why you see Geetarz Production. If he had liked it and wanted to list it on his website, I wanted to remain anonymous and have it come from The Almighty One. As it turned out, Mark DOES NOT like compilations and he politely dismissed the set and explained to me why.....lol....and I undertood exactly why he feels that way. After this is when I shared it with others. Yeah, I did put multiple versions of a few songs, but I did so because they are different versions from different band configurations. Each has their own distinct character. I never compare the different versions against each other. To me, its just very basic. If I like the song/version, then I just do. One of the things that REALLY grabs me about Eric, is his soloing and he has a knack for playing stunning solos. If just doesn't bother me if those solos happen to occur within different versions of the same song. Take While My Guitar Gently Weeps......to me, the Prince's Trust version with Mr. George Harrison is incredibly special and that version from The Concert for George is just plain essential. I LOVE both versions alot !!! The Vol. 2 track list was setup 5-6 months ago. There are repeats of songs from Vol. 1, but I included them because of the great guitar playing and musicianship and delivery of those particular performances. Also, sorry for the use of the goofy word "Hooray" in my last post...lol....I wanted that one back after I sent it...lol I just sincerely miss my bud Mark... Cheers, Jay From humblephoenix at comcast.net Sat Jan 14 11:13:32 2006 From: humblephoenix at comcast.net (Bryan Reid) Date: Sat Jan 14 11:13:30 2006 Subject: [Slowhand] OT: SF Concert Venues - 1960s Message-ID: <002901c61925$7732a550$cc36e147@D16RHW81> Since we seem to be on this topic, here's some more background info. It all started in the summer of 1965. That seems to be one thing that everyone can agree on. Somewhere at the beginning is the Red Dog Saloon in Virginia City, Nevada. In the summer of 1965, they began booking SF area bands, and in particular, The Charlatans (widely regarded as the original psychedelic band). Other bands that played there included Big Brother (pre-Janis Joplin), the Jefferson Airplane (pre-Grace Slick) and Quicksilver Messenger Service. The Charlatans were pretty much the house band in the summer and fall of 1965. Some people say it all started there. The Matrix was probably the literal beginning of the "scene" in SF. Starting in the August of 1965, The Matrix began shows with the Jefferson Airplane, The Charlatans, Quicksilver and the Dead. Then there was Chet Helms, of the Family Dog. Chet started producing shows at the Longshoremen's Hall and California Hall starting in October 1965. Chet's earliest shows included the Jefferson Airplane, The Charlatans, The Mothers, and Big Brother (still pre-Janis Joplin - she joined in June 1966). While Chet has been credited with inventing the "scene", he is may be more appropriately described as its spiritual leader. When it came to free concerts, benefit concerts and public service work, he most certainly was the leader. Anyway, Chet used a number of venues early on, including the Fillmore Auditorium in early 1966. In April 1966, he hooked up with the Avalon Ballroom, where he was to promote shows through the end of 1968. He also did shows at Winterland, the Straight Theater, in Denver and at several venues in Berkeley, as well as out on the Great Highway later. Bill Graham started out producing shows for the SF Mime Troup in and around SF in 1965; he continued to produce them through 1966 (ended in February with one last show in November). His first rock show was in a loft on Howard Street in November 1965 and featured the Jefferson Airplane and The Fugs, along with poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Graham opened the Fillmore Auditorium in December 1965 with the Jefferson Airplane headlining. The following year, he took over an old roller skating rink called Winterland and began shows there in September 1966. Bill produced some of the Trips Festivals at Loneshoremens' Hall in 1966. He shut down the Auditorium and opened the Fillmore West in July 1968. Love him or hate him, Bill was "the man" in the SF rock scene. H e ran his theaters until 1971, when he moved on to promoting tours for the likes of the Stones, The Who et al. In terms of importance, Graham's theaters, the Matrix and the Avalon (read Chet Helm) were the mainstays of the scene. Other, lesser, venues included The Straight Theater, California Hall, the Longshoremens' Hall, the Carousel Ballroom (which became the Fillmore West), The Ark in Sausalito, The Firehouse in SF (1966 shows with Big Brother and The Charlatans), the Rock Garden in SF, Sokol Hall in SF (home to most of the Hell's Angels' dances), and The Barn in Scott's Valley south of SF. And then there are a herd of little places that featured up-and-coming bands all around SF and the surrounding region. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It lists every show he presented from 1965 - 1989. If there is any interest I can forward a copy to the interested parties or make it available to someone to post on a web site, for download. The database lists Date / Venue / Artists & Notes. Since the notes are by Bill himself or the staff, some interesting insights are presented (amongst them, the number of community benefits hosted by Bill, he really supported the community). Their first show was May 7, 1965 @ The Gate Theatre in Sausalito. Performers listed were: SF Mime Troupe, Robert Scheer, Notes: Play: "The Exception And The Rule" By Bertolt Brecht., R. Scheer Talk: "The US War In Vietnam. The last show at the Fillmore Auditorium was July 4, 1968 and the first show at the Fillmore West was the following day.

I decided upon the following: 1. Orchestra Night 2. Club Full of Blues 3. Play With Fire Revisited 4. Double Image 5. Double Trouble in Tokyo Orchestra Night always was (and is) a revelation. When it works--wow. And of course there's the Concerto. Club Full of Blues is EC playing the blues on a night when he is really ON. Play With Fire Revisited is perhaps the best live pop/rock album ever recorded. Double Image is an interesting documenting of the Pilgrim tour, with and without orchestra. I especially like the Earl's Court set. Double Trouble in Tokyo is the last night at the Budokan in 95. What a great version of Double Trouble, but the set has all of the looseness of the last night of a two month tour. Some great playing.

Eric contributes to one number, "Night Life" - a blues of sorts. He convincingly goes through his routine (on Crash 1) and is even challenged by Willie Nelson on his moth-eaten old acoustic. Quite enjoyable. Other highlights are Ray Charles and Leon Russell doing "A Song for You" and a uptempo "Jumpin' Jack Flash" by Leon Russell, though on this last number it's more the band cooking than Russell dominating as he did at the "Concert for Bangla Desh".

Kevin New Bob Marley Song featuring Eric Clapton to be Released in November 24 September 2005: Where's ERIC Previously unknown recordings by reggae legend Bob Marley were found in 2004 by his son, Ziggy, on a tape in the family's archives. The tape is believed to have been recorded in Miami, Florida in 1979. An acoustic demo, entitled "Slogan", has been overdubbed with additional instrumentation to complete it. It features Eric Clapton on guitar. This method was used successfully by Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr in the late 1990s to transform John Lennon's demos of "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love" into complete Beatles songs. Marley's "Slogan" will be released as a single and on the CD compilation "Africa Unite: The Singles Collection" in November 2005. There could also be more unreleased material on the way, with sources saying that the long-lost tape contains 'six or seven' other previously unheard Marley songs. Titles are believed to include "Jailbreaker'", "Vexation", "Jump Them Out of Babylon" and "Pray for Me". _____ From: Pat Toth [mailto:iampigpen@comcast.net] I asked this question ...

"Well, it's one for the money ..." It crystallized in a fleeting, angry exchange between a teenage couple dancing at a drive-in. "Two for the show ..." It maybe took three hours in the middle of the night to compose and write down on a paper sack that had been holding three potatoes. "Three to get ready ..." And Sam Phillips never let the recording session go past four takes, essentially saying ... "Go, cat, go!" Believe it or not, the celestial event of Carl Perkins' life — and perhaps the entire rock 'n' roll era — is 50 years old. On New Year's Day 1956, Sun Records released Blue Suede Shoes a two-minute, 13-second ditty that Perkins, his brothers Jay B. and Clayton and friend W.S. Holland had recorded just two weeks before. "The song has huge significance to this building and business," said Nikki Douglas, the operations manager/archivist for Sun Studios in Memphis. "This was the first gold record on the Sun label. "And, while Elvis was the biggest of the artists who came through these doors, it was Blue Suede Shoes that became the first song in history to hit No. 1 on every single chart: pop, R&B and country." Years after discovering his influence on artists from the Beatles and Eric Clapton all the way to Garth Brooks and The Judds, Perkins remained incredulous, according to oldest son Stan Perkins. "I can't tell you the number of times Dad would tell someone that one of his guitar riffs was 'just a simple little thing,' " Stan Perkins said, "only to be reminded, 'Yeah, but no one ever did it before you.' " The record started slow, then took off like a rocket. It wasn't until March 1956 that it broke onto national charts. By May, it redefined "crossover hit," eventually selling 2 million copies. Yet while it was reaching its zenith, events were taking place that would in essence stall Perkins' rocket ride and nearly derail his career. "Dad wasn't a one-hit wonder, but he never had another moment like that," Stan Perkins said. 'A thump in your belly' But listen to that 133 seconds of music, and understand that it came along the moment America and its teens hit a hormonal nova. "I heard that song for the first time when I was 11 years old, and after that the Grand Ole Opry never made sense," said Linda McGee of the International Rockabilly Hall of Fame in Jackson. Mike Baker, the talent coordinator for the Shannon Street Blues Fest, is a generation removed at 46. Still, he insists the song's nursery rhyme beginning "was my Sesame Street." In Perkins' biography, Go, Cat Go!, Bob Dylan is quoted as saying Perkins' music "would create such a thump in your belly." Though Wynonna Judd wasn't even born when Blue Suede Shoes hit its height, she stood up at Carl Perkins' funeral eight Januaries ago and said, "When I watched him, I realized I could only wish to be that cool." Stan Perkins, Carl's drummer the last 20 years of his career and now keeper of his estate, said, "I don't care what age you are. Listen to that song, and some part of you is going to move." And W.S. Holland, who went from thumping a rhythm on the side of Clayton Perkins' upright bass to an improbable career as a drummer — first for Perkins, then Johnny Cash — said he felt it in hundreds of late-night sessions in studios, hotel rooms and honky-tonks. "Carl could entertain," Holland said. "One minute he'd have you in tears, the next you'd be up and dancing." Even now, Stan Perkins said he can literally feel the song's warmth. "The royalty checks each quarter pay the utilities on this big house," he said. He just negotiated a six-figure deal with a European company that wants to put eight seconds of the song in a commercial. And, when the song was released, Stan marvels that his father "was trying to get by on maybe $25 a week." Genius on a brown paper bag Go back to 1955, and the seeds of this story were being sown. Carl Perkins and his band had released some marginally successful local hits — Movie Magg, Turn Around and Gone, Gone, Gone. Like all the other Sun artists, they were hitting every Southern club, dance hall, lodge and gym that would throw cash their way. "We were riding with (Johnny) Cash, who was a good friend of Carl's (and later an employer)," Holland said. "John's got his feet propped up, and he's looking at his shoes, always shined from his Air Force days. He said, 'Carl, you've got to write a song about shoes.' " Carl's reaction? "He thought John was nuts," Holland said. "Who writes songs about shoes? End of conversation." Weeks later, a gig at Tommy's Drive-In in Jackson. "No bandstand, you just played in a corner," Holland said. "This couple in front of us were dancing. Suddenly, the boy jumped back and said angrily, 'Don't step on my suede shoes.' "Carl's thinking, 'Pretty girl like that, and he's worried about shoes?' " But thoughts began to race through the mind of the 23-year-old sharecropper's kid from Tiptonville. He rushed to the tiny rent-subsidized apartment where his two kids and pregnant wife, Valda, were sleeping. By dawn, the rudiments of the song were scribbled on a small grocery sack that is now framed in the Perkins home. His spelling (Blue Swade Shoes) was, hmm ... innovative. The song's choppy cadence still floors Holland. "We did it all wrong! Those breaks between 'One for the money' and the rest of the start don't make sense. There are things about it that would never have happened had we been taught to play," Holland said. Even now, the 70-year-old Holland says it makes him laugh when he "sits in with a group playing 'Blue Suede Shoes' and they ask, 'Do you want to play it musically correctly, or do we play it right?' " Perkins went into a panic after three takes, telling Phillips he'd made several mistakes, among them "singing, 'Go, cat, go.' " Phillips' response? "I heard it. You ain't changin' it." Baker said "there are plenty of great Carl Perkins songs. But Blue Suede Shoes is a synthesis of everything he'd picked up. "Pop, rock, blues. It's all there." With the song getting traction in March, Perkins and the band were scheduled to drive from a concert in Norfolk, Va., to New York to debut on a TV program hosted by ex-barber Perry Como (who had the syrupy No. 1 hit Hot Diggity). The moment never happened. Around dawn the car carrying Perkins' band, with Memphis DJ Stewart Pinkham driving, plowed into a truck outside Dover, Del. The truck driver was killed, Carl broke a collarbone, and Jay wound up in traction with a broken neck. While Perkins & Co. recuperated, his old Sun buddy Elvis Presley (who'd just jumped to RCA) exploded on national television, then with a string of hits that included the machine-gun cover of Blue Suede Shoes. Crash and return Stan Perkins notes that "Elvis' version of Shoes never topped 16 on the charts, the only cover he made that didn't top the original." But Carl's window of superstar opportunity vaporized. The next few years, Stan said, "Dad crashed." He battled the bottle. Jay died of a brain tumor, and Clayton started down a path that eventually led to suicide. Still, redemption awaited. It started on a 1964 tour of England, where Perkins was introduced to four of his biggest fans — John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and especially George Harrison. "George once told me that you could get Elvis records anywhere in Liverpool," Stan Perkins said, "But Carl Perkins records ... if John and Paul would hear someone had a Perkins record, they would hitchhike across town to borrow it." Cash, who was fighting demons of his own with alcohol and pills, invited Perkins to join his show, and they toured together for 10 years. "I think John and Carl lifted each other up," said Holland, who wishes that the Cash biopic Walk the Line would have contained, "some of the absolutely hilarious moments with those two guys." Baker said that he remembers rare days late in Perkins' life, "when he'd walk into the Bandstand (a local music store), sit down with a guitar and just start picking. A legend, just enjoying himself." During his 22 years "watching the back of my father's head for song cues," Stan Perkins said he got to see his father enjoy things denied his more successful contemporaries. "I watched him around guys like George Harrison and Eric Clapton, and I realized the look in their eyes was the same look I had when I looked at Dad," Stan said. Perhaps his most lasting memory is Carl spending hours on his riding mower tending his yard. "Most times, he didn't need to mow his yard that much. He just liked being out there, having people wave at him, or come up to talk," Stan said. Stan thinks of Elvis' sad end at 42, or the tumultuous life of Jerry Lee Lewis, But even with the cancer Carl battled in the '90s and the strokes that eventually claimed him at age 65. Stan marvels at his father's final act. "Here's a rocker who was married 45 years (Valda Perkins died last November), surrounded by kids, grandkids, friends," Stan said. "He might have found more success elsewhere, but I know he ended his life happy because he stayed right here." And unlike other artists who dread signature tunes, Perkins was always up for one more chorus of Blue Suede Shoes. "He never had another song as big," Stan said, "yet he was always so grateful it came along that one time."

According to a November New Scientist report, the virtual guitar hero wears special gloves, allowing his gestures to be tracked by camera. Researcher Aki Kanerva expects players even to develop a distinct air guitar style. [New Scientist, 11-28-05] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It's a 3 CD set called "Tumbling Dice" and features 3 gigs from a 1992 tour that Mick did with Nicky Hopkins and Bobby Keys, billed as a sort of Rolling Stones' alumni tour. Three nights in three Florida nightclubs. It's advertised as soundboard bit it's not. That said it's one of the best audience tapes I've ever heard. Other than the vocals and the audience talk, you couldn't tell that it's not soundboard. Mick's in great form and Bobby and Nicky - well, they're Bobby and Nicky, two of the greatest sidemen and studio session guys ever to grace a rock album. Very bluesy set list with a great instrumental version of "Can You Hear Me Knockin' ", "Hideaway", "Soul Serenade" (the King Curtis classic), plus "Five Long Years", and "You Got To Move". And, to my great pleasure, Nicky's "Edward The Mad Shirt Grinder" on which Mick plays a beautiful counterpoint. Highly recommended. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Tracklist: (Jah Heavy Load; Jah Is No Secret; Zion Hut; I'm A Levi) That would probably mean that Eric contributed his part(s) in late 1977 or early 1978. It would probably rate as one of Eric's most obscure sessions. Subject: [Slowhand] EC on Israeli Musician's album question Back in the late 1980s, EC guested on an Israeli musician's LP.

Message-ID: <000001c62869$d4461e40$cc36e147@D16RHW81> I got a very pleasant surprise today, and it was from this group. When I posted about needing help identifying an album EC guested on, I got responses from right 'round the planet. People offered to translate. People dug into their own files. One person offered to contact Roberty and did. And within two hours of my post, I had the all information I needed and more. It also served as a good reminder to me what a great group this is. We all have our differences of opinion, and at times we can get into what I like to refer to as 'our Balkan squabbles', but when all is done and said, this is a pretty united and caring, supportive group. Thank you, one and all. As to the album I asked about: The artist is Yoni Nameri and the album is called "Silence From The Other World". It's on NMC Records, which I'm pretty sure is either the Israeli subsidiary of Sony/CBS, or was, or has some sort of regional license/relationship with them. The album number is CBS 463260-1. EC plays on one track, the second on side one of the album; the track is entitled "The Way Of The Eagle". Other guests on the album include Dave Stewart (Eurythmics), Simon Chamberlin (Paul McCartney's band), and some other fairly heavyweight European players. The album was recorded in 1988 and issued the following year. As best I can tell, it was released in Israel and nowhere else. It's never been reissued, either. Several people asked about acquiring this album. For a number of reasons, not the least of which is the M word, I'm putting it up on eBay, along with the rest of my vinyl collection. I will also be auctioning off my Clapton vinyl bootlegs off-eBay (I did this several years ago with some of my other vinyl boots and it worked out well for all concerned). When I'm ready to start the auction, I will post a notice here so that anyone who is interested can take a browse through my EC vinyl. Many thanks to one and all again.

Does someone think it is funny or something to keep ragging on what Delta Nick had commented about EC's guitar tone? And for the record, I happen to agree with DN on that whole matter. Maybe it is those who have never played a single note on a guitar (or any instrument as far as that goes) who just don't get what Delta Nick had been talking about. But this whole thing of the constant reprinting of these posts from 11/25 is getting old. It reminds me in a way of the movie "Groundhog Day".

It may be the best of all 3 nights, or you may have a different opinion. With that said, lets get this party started. Be patient (a quality I need to work on with these video torrents) & your time & efforts will pay off. Its been a fun ride.

The underground circuit in the pop world of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Manhattan and Detroit is still vibrating from what may be the biggest single musical jolt out of England since the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. 'Woman Tone'- Formed a year ago because each member was the others favorite performer (as their rather haughty name implies). Cream comprise three prickly egos, each with solid claims of his own to individual distinction: Eric Clapton, 22, the rangy,intense, spokesman for the group is a superbly soulful and compelling guitarist. His voicelike 'woman tone' moans, shouts or sends out sudden, stabbing cries, the vibrato quivering like a spear that has found its mark. Such top US rock guitarists as Mike Bloomfield and Jerry Garcia rank him the best in the world. Jack Bruce, 24, a quiet Scotsman who plays bass guitar and is the groups chief songwriter, sings with the same tremulous passion that Clapton brings to guitar playing. When he huffs into a harmonica and wails the blues in his slightly blurred accent. Chicago's South side takes on a Glasgow glow. Ginger Baker, 28, is a dazzling drummer perhaps the only one in the rock field who can sustain long, inventive solos. His crackling stickwork and and splintered rythms give Cream a complex yet driving beat that few rock groups can equal. An antic cockney he drums on other things besides drums; on tours he leaves behind a trail of hotel bills for damage to furniture and other property. Too Long for Radio- Together Cream are 'neo contrapuntal' according to Bruce. 'We're all playing melody against each other'. Each melody is largely improvised and the object says Clapton 'is to get so far away from the original line that you're playing something that's never been heard before.' This approach usually creates pulsating waves of excitement in live performances but it often also produces recordings that are too long for disk jockeys to sandwich between commercials. Consequently Cream have so far been idols only of the hip insiders, their one US album Fresh Cream has been little played on radio and as a result has mssed the mass market (sales:100,00 copies). But now that this country has been Creamed all that may be changed. g.w.

Message-ID: <2ce.2f1bc70.311ae6d9@aol.com> British rock group Cream to play more reunion shows By Dean Goodman LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Legendary rock trio Cream, which reunited last year for a handful of concerts in London and New York after a bitter break-up in 1968, has scheduled more shows, bassist and singer Jack Bruce said on Tuesday. But don't expect a world tour. Rather, Bruce told Reuters that he, guitarist Eric Clapton and drummer Ginger Baker will set up camp in select cities for multiple dates, just as they did last year. "What we feel is that it's so special, and also so emotionally draining that it's not something we could do every day," he said. "We will play more, but where and when I'm not at liberty to say." He declined to say when an official announcement might be made, joking that he would "get chopped" if he said anything. Bruce, 62, was speaking hours before Cream was due to receive a lifetime achievement Grammy during a ceremony also honoring rocker David Bowie, country singer Merle Haggard, opera diva Jessye Norman, folk group the Weavers, late bluesman Robert Johnson and recently deceased comedian Richard Pryor. Bruce, flying in from his farm in Britain, was set to be the group's sole representative. He said Clapton, 60, had other commitments, while it was impractical for Baker, 66, to leave his farm in South Africa. All three did show up in Los Angeles 13 years ago when Cream was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, burying their differences long enough to play three songs, including their hit "Sunshine of Your Love," for a black-tie crowd. Then they went their separate ways until last year, when they reunited for fo ur lucrative shows at London's Royal Albert Hall, the scene of their farewell concert on November 26, 1968, and then three at New York's Madison Square Garden. In its first iteration, the band lasted a little over two years, brewing a potent mix of blues and psychedelia that paved the way for hard rock. But Baker and Bruce fought bitterly, leaving Clapton to play the thankless role of peacemaker. Cream cultivated the tensions, churning out four albums, and rock-radio staples such as "Sunshine of Your Love" and "White Room." But the group's demise was inevitable. Bruce said he is less explosive in his old age, and the band knows better how to handle problems, but there remains an underlying, brotherly tension with Baker. On the other hand, he described Clapton as "the most beautiful, kindest, most understanding guy that I've come across." ? Reuters 2006.

"It sucks" is one's not-so-humble opinion. Looking at this album in another way, I find it flattering that an artist would make his life such an "open book" to the world. We always seems to know what's up with Eric Clapton's state of mind by the "tone" of his latest album, and I, for one, find this quality endearing. Congratulations to Eric in receiving recognition for a well-recorded work. Personally, as I stated before, I would love to hear him do a knock-down R&R album next - after the JJCale collaboration. I would also like to hear him do a collaboration with Mark Knopfler, whose lyrics, I nthink, rival Dylan's. Speaking of Dylan - some of EC's best covers have been Dylan's, and I'd love to hear him do an album dedicated to this end.

"I've always been a fan of Clapton since Steely Dan. That voice is just smooth as butter. I remember checkin' out "Hey 19" and I knew he musta been cool to acknowledge Aretha Franklin in a song," says Spice via telephone at his home in Boston, Massachusetts. The rapper is responsible for the platinum success of actor Mark Wahlberg who performed as 'Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch,' netting Interscope Records millions of dollars. Spice digs deep into his soul and expresses the loss of loved ones, including his grandmother and his deejay, Wessy Wess who was murdered gangland style in Boston. The pain of the artist is felt throughout the music and is easily identifiable with all who've gone through times of mourning. Each verse is topped off with Clapton's signature sound. Currently, Spice is doing extensive work in urban communities promoting Bipolar awareness and helping children afflicted with the disorder to better cope with the illness. Diagnosed with Bipolar ten years ago, Spice explains his bout with the disorder in the song, "My Mind Is A Battlefield," and acts as a liaison between the Child & Adolescent Bipolar Foundation and young urban mothers and their children. Source: http://www.thuglifearmy.com/news/articles/50880/ * Here's the original article that appeared on the Digest: Eric Clapton and Rap Music - A Perfect Combo 1 May 2005: UCW Newsroom /UCWE/ - Rapper, producer MC Spice, responsible for the platinum hit "Good Vibrations" (Mark "Marky Mark" Wahlberg) has teamed up with Eric Clapton for the Hip-Hop remake of Cream's former band mate's "Tears in Heaven". Spice's new single, "Remember Me" features Clapton on the hook as the Boston rapper asks lost loved ones if they'd remember him in Heaven as they did when they were on Earth. "If Spice can't breathe, Momma don't grieve / though my mind was deceived, my heart still believed / I'm doing fine, spoke to some friends of mine / and family that past, and just before my last / breath, I prayed the prayer Wes was praying on the gurney / begging for forgiveness / wish me a peaceful journey..." raps the former Creative Director of Clear Channel's WOWI-FM and WUSL-FM. As co-owner of Boston's Dudley Station Records which includes Lakeisha "Spirit" Gilliard, Blueprint, Latia Dickerson and Lenora Jaye, MC Spice's album Lover Brown delivers classic Hip-Hop with well-woven words of wisdom throughout. The album is profanity-free, yet gives the purist what they want, as Spice makes up for the profane language in rap by going back to basics with raw rhymes that make you think. The song, "I Met A Girl" produced by Hashim LaRock shows the heart of a street kid in love spiritually as Spice raps: "Mamma, I met a girl, and I'm in love now, I met a girl, we gettin' married, too / I met a girl / and she reminds me of you, some things she do, and she's so fine." Influenced by the likes of Rod Stewart, Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson, MC Spice's formula is lyrics first, and lyrics with meaning. "Remember Me" is just a taste of the spicy flavor offered in the full-length Lover Brown available this summer.

EC has certainly worked with Bob enough to know the man and his music, and has covered plenty of his work heretofore. Considering the huge oeuvre he would have to choose from, there could be an awesome album in there. I think that it was our own Geetarz who put forth the thought that EC's cover of Don't Think Twice at Bobfest was his single best performance of the 1990s. I'm not sure I agree with that but it's way up there on my list. Anyone who hasn't heard EC at Bobfest, let me know. I've got three copies of an EC at Bobfest compilation I made that I'm happy to send to those who haven't (who will hopefully re-oofer to others).

It also has live clips from EC's concerts (previously released material), as well as music video clips, such as "Motherless Child". PLEASE NOTE: THERE ARE JAPANESE SUBTITLES WHICH CANNOT BE REMOVED. It comes housed in a flat cardboard folder, with a inner pouch that holds the dvd. (sort of) I've never seen anything like it. The back cover has the track listing in Japanese only. I guess after a few times of viewing it you'll figure out what's what. Below is a link to CdJapan, so you can look it over. Not much info, but there is a photo of the front cover. You can set up an account and order it through them or another Japanese dvd distributor. It's a little pricey, but hey, it's an imported dvd. Fortunately, I found mine on ebay from an Austaralian dude for $15.00 (INCLUDING SHIPPING!!). But, I haven't seen it on there in awhile.

That is, for me, it isn't of the quality of Layla, or 461 Ocean Boulevard, or Journeyman, or From The Cradle. It's more in the realm of August and Pilgrim and Reptile, which, to me, are hit and miss affairs. And that's how I feel about Back Home. I really quite like about half of it. But what I like I really like. So Tired. Say What You Will. Revolution. Love Comes To Everyone, One Day and Back Home are all songs and performances that have come to mean a lot to me. I think the song Back Home is one of the best songs EC has ever written and performed. The rest of the songs on the album I tend to skip over. But I do that with a lot of songs on August and Pilgrim and Reptile too. Which just means that they are 50-50 albums. I have never felt that the trashing Back Home received on this digest was justified, and I still don't. And yes, it is beautifully recorded, the songs I don't like and the songs that I do like.

SWLABR has been on quite a lot, and some gems like live versions of "further on up the road" and "eyesight to the blind" are cool to hear coming out of nowhere during the day over my radio. on a side note, if you have kids and are looking for a great alternative to Barney and Sesame Street, there is a great new musical kids show with puppets called "Jack's Big Music Show" on the Noggin Network. Buddy Guy is appearing in the last 5 minutes of the new episode called "King of Swing". The main character Jack, the king's biggest fan, wins a contest where the King of Swing will come to his house and Jack has to get the place ready for him. It reminded me of a few of us fanatics on this list if EC would ever come over their house!! out sambo8 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It's a very happy pop album with great pop songs, but of course there's a couple of too schmaltzy pieces, that I tend to fast forward :). Well, there's been those fast forwardable songs on every record I have heard from Clapton or his bands. Back Home makes me feel happy and well and as I myself have grown older, I'm more content and some of the angst-ridden music I used to listen to for decades sounds corny these days. Back Home is a bit lush-produced for my tastes, but that's just the sound; It has become for me one of the most played Clapton record ever. Really waiting for theClapton / J.J. Cale -record as I'm a big fan of J.J., too. Just my opinion, but then it's just as worthwhile as anybody's "thruth" about music.

Many of you will remember him from the Cream afterparty in London. Janet Bruce is Jack's wife: "The Janet Bruce memorabilia auction that I have been working on has finally opened on Cooper Owen's website www.cooperowen.com. This is an internet only auction. I am attaching the information sheet. If you would be interested in running a piece on this auction on your great website, I will be able to supply further materials/information. I have been working on this since last May but now it is finally a reality! It has a complete set of Jack's copies of itineraries of Cream tours starting with their first public performance at the Twisted Wheel in July 1966 to their farewell tour in November 1968 as well as private off-stage photographs from Cream tours (taken by the Bruces) and Jack's 1981 Spector bass guitar. Janet's ticket to the farewell concert and her father's Super 8 of the concert are in the sale, too. Also available are Pete's original manuscripts of White Room and other Brown-Bruce compositions sold by a collector. As far as Eric specific items are concerned, besides some amazing unpublished off stage photos of Eric (some with Charlotte) from Cream tours, a congratulatory telegram from Eric to Jack on the birth of their son and Eric and Patti's invitation to Jack for their wedding party are in the auction. There is also my one-off Clapton Strat built to his specs in 1991 in the auction :( The auction also includes GBO memorabilia, mainly 100s performance contracts that came out of Dick's flat that I catalogued. As the estate wanted to share these with fans rather than collectors, the starting prices are as low as ?30 for 12 original 60s performance contracts. Many of them are signed by DHS (and GB in some cases)."

The artist, Cecil McCartney, whose work in the late Sixties inspired Morrison's seminal album Astral Weeks hopes his abstract painting will help end a 17-year dispute with the Irish singer. Morrison fell out with McCartney in 1989 following a row over whether Myra Hindley, the Moors murderer, could be forgiven for her sins. During a heated debate inside the Crawfordsburn Inn in Co Down, McCartney cast doubt on the sincerity of her conversion. This prompted Morrison, a committed born-again Christian who believes in the 'cleansing power of the blood', to throw his keys at his friend and storm out. The two men have not spoken since. Now nearly two decades later, McCartney thinks they should make up. 'My message to Van is that he should let bygones be bygones,' McCartney said as he touched up the painting he first started in the late Sixties. 'All I was trying to do during that discussion was make it clear that asking for forgiveness doesn't erase a terrible crime. Sometimes pleading forgiveness is a cop out. 'Van liked this painting when I first started it so if he makes up with me he can have it ... look on it as an olive branch.' Surrounded in his garden on the Co Down Coast by his paintings, McCartney is reaching out to Morrison as he plans a retrospective of 40 years of work. Throughout his career McCartney has sold paintings to a host of stars including Eric Clapton, Roger Daltrey, Robin Williams and Bono. However, he is offering his large abstract titled Astral Nano Seconds to Morrison for free. 'In the Sixties and early Seventies I was selling paintings to the Who and Clapton but Van never bought one. But this is for nothing if we can be reconciled.' The painter is so concerned about being targeted by art thieves that he requests that his address and hometown is not mentioned. Now in his late sixties, McCartney feels that, despite security concerns, it is time to open up his four-decade old collection. 'I am aiming for a retrospective at the Ulster Museum in a few years time after it's refurbished. In the meantime if there are any galleries in London or Dublin that want to show this work, some of which has never been on display, I would be happy with that.' The artist, who lived in Hollywood (California not Co Down) and became a friend to Steve McQueen and the Who's drummer Keith Moon, tried to privately reconcile with Morrison once before. 'It was during President Clinton's visit to Belfast a year after the ceasefire. I came to the concert in December 1995 dressed as 'Uncle Sam' for a song. Van was at the concert that night too but when someone backstage asked him if he would speak to me he simply said no.' Despite the row, McCartney's home is full of evidence that Morrison remains a central character in his life. CDs of Morrison's albums can be found on the living room floor, there are photographs of the two men in more harmonious times and when he picks up his guitar and plays, it is a song dedicated to his former friend. 'The fall-out broke my heart because I was like his big brother. When we met I was 24 and he was only 18. I can remember we used to chase girls in my mini-van. 'All I can say to him is "here's to another 20 albums in the future". It's about time we talked things through although it's entirely up to him to make the move.'

Anybody hear anything else about this? This new release hasn't been listed on CD Universe, they're usually promoting albums well before the release date if there is something new on them. This makes me think that there won't be any extras. I recently uploaded to Dimeadozen bit torrent (in fact it's still up there and getable, if you happen to be one of the lucky 100,000 members) the Delaney mix of Eric's debut album, minus 2 obvious tracks. Now not everyone on the Digest is torrent-wise or for that matter a member of Dimeadozen, so if anyone is interested I'll burn copies (full album) to the first five who email me, with the usual deal that you re-offer to three more. Burner-less? Are there still people out there who don't have burners? Last I heard you could buy a spindle of 50 burners cheaper than a spindle of 50 discs. Anyhoo, whatever the reason, if the burner-less can wait until a few of these have been distributed before asking, that would be great.

It was June 25, 2005 at 12:47 AM. He had just returned from seeing Knopfler ("fantastic as usual"). The email dealt with the Mid Valley Cream shows from May and was very upbeat. Then nothing. No response to emails, phone calls or a Christmas card. A couple of other thoughts: The fact that the picture changes on the main screen of www.geetarz.org does not mean that AG is updating the site. Reloading the page produces a different picture. AG has some way of automatically rotating the pictures. I don't think AG has updated the site since June because neither Mid Valley Cream set from 2005 is listed. The site still exists, which implies that the bills are still being paid or were paid in advance. HOWEVER, the domain name "geetarz.org" expires on June 1, 2006.

I'm more inclined to hire some Slowhanders to start stalking his hangouts to find out if he's okay. And if Mike's original post from September last year, regarding a newspaper article reporting that a Mark Devault (sic) was thrown in the can is correct, let's send him a cake with a file in it rather than duplicate his site elsewhere. Of course, he may have had enough of all this music stuff, and is possibly having a year off travelling. I'm sure all his info is backed-up, and when he's ready to roll again, he can upload it to where ever. Don't get me wrong, I understand the sentiments of all us Slowhanders who have used his site and would hate it to just disappear. Whatever he's doing, I wish him all the best.

After the last few days accounts of music on the Vault Radio - I had to give it a try. I'm three songs in as I write this, my first time listening to the station. I've always loved the song Don't Know Why from Eric Clapton, and there just was a live version with Delaney & Bonnie from Fillmore West on! I decided to enjoy it instead of doing a panicy recording of it, so: Did anyone out there manage to catch it on "tape" from other times it was aired? I would love a copy! BTW the date was 12/29/70 and supposed to be one of D & B's last shows there. But that must be '69 instead of '70 right?

On the one hand, it is his intellectual property. But preserving the scans of album covers may be acceptable - or at least less wrong. Here's my logic: 1) There is something deliciously twisted about AG's site. For those who like bootlegs, there is information, track lists, ratings and comments. But those who dislike bootlegs can appreciate the fact that his site helps people rip off the bootleggers! If one has a copy of a show, he or she can complete the package by downloading the album cover from AG's site. Sweet! 2) Anything one places on a website is subject to be downloaded by others and used in various ways. Never was this more apparent to me than when my "Fun Facts About Steve" page (located at http://www.slowhand.net/steve.htm ) was produced in a deposition. But I digress... 3) Many of the scans of albums were provided to Mark by others. As I recall, someone on the Digest suggested AG was in prison in jest as an explanation of his disappearance. Certain mutual friends report that AG is alive and well, although none have seen him with their own eyes. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I believe I can be counted as one of the people whom he might reach out to or respond to in confidence. There has been no luck on my end eliciting a response. I might consider flying out to his house on a weekend or maybe even investigating from afar. It would be comforting to know that he is well (and perhaps just taking a well-deserved hiatus). I'd really like to know. Mark has been a very special Slowhander throughout the years. His absence is felt and, especially now, I think we all realize what an incredible, selfless contributor he has been.

I believe things are still getting cleared. Keep in mind that Tom Dowd apparently didn't mix Easy Now or Slunky - the released version has Eric's mix of Easy Now and Delaney's mix of Slunky. Thus the new issue will have the same version of Slunky twice. Also, Delaney's mix of After Midnight was released on Crossroads. Love that version...

A day which may have changed the lives of many. It was a dreary gray cloudy day. There was a slow drizzle with an ocasional sound of thunder off in the distance. I was reading the local paper and I came across an article in the Police/Fire section. I was skimming carefully over each article, wondering if I would recognize a name ?, a place ?, when, there it was. Chills went down my spine. It couldn't be. I had to be imagining it. It has to be a coincidence. It read, a man in his early twenties, arrested for a capital crime. ( I will not reveale the nature of the crime to protect this person's right's as we do not know the final outcome) The name in the article. Mark Devault. I said to myself this has to be a coincidence. There has to be alot of people with that name. Besides, all I have to do is wait for him to post on the Digest. The next day, I ran into a former buddy who also reads the Digest and he asked me " How come Mark Devault hasn't been on the digest lately." I had to sit down for second as I felt faint. I told him of what I had read and he kind of laughed it off as though I was kidding. I have not seen a post of Mark's to this day. I know he was enrolled at Michigan State U. but that's the last I had heard from him. Why would a person as involved in trading and posting on this forum to the extent that he did, all of a sudden disappear. Several of you on this forum have even tried to contact him. Maybe he never existed. Maybe he's Dan Reese. Maybe he's Delta Nick. Or maybe, just maybe, someone on this forum is using the name as a Ghost Trader. Will we ever know ?

The date listed is 29 December 1970. EC had already gone on to Derek And The Dominos by June 1970, and I think their last performance was 1 December 1970. Ec has hooked up with Delaney & Bonnie in 1969 and he stayed with the band into 1970; EARLY 1970. I'm guessing that the correct date for the recording is 29 Decmber 1969.

He wanted to become a pharmacist. So, my guess is that he may now be attending pharmaceutical school. Mark had lived near his mother, who was about 80 years old. So I'm guessing that he's not far away from home. Of course, Mark was also a keen fan of Roy Buchanan, who apparently hung himself in a Virginia jail in 1987, if I remember correctly. But some argue that the police actually hung Buchanan. I hope there's not a parallel. A drug-selling Geetarz is certainly preferable to the swinging variety. And last but not least, Mark may have been smitten by a member of the opposite sex. He once told me that none would have him. Just think, can anyone fairly compete with Clapton, Buchanan, Knopfler, Fender, Gibson, and Marshall? DeltaNick -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Yes. The mix I speak of is from "The Unsurpassed Eric Clapton, The Delany (sic) mix of his first album" Yellow Dog 022. As far as I know, nothing of Eric's mix has surfaced.

I dutifully bought the album when it was released and liked it so much that I also bought the 8 track tape to play in my car. Not long afterwards a friend was riding in my car and asked where I had gotten my tape because it sounded awful! I told him he must have a tin ear 'cause it sounded just like the album. He said, "No way, where are the horns!" I had to ask him what kind of funny pills had he been taking (and not sharing) since there were no horns up front in the mix. He stated that his album had horns up front and more prevalent in the mix. We made a quick detour to his house to listen to the album, and low and behold the mix was different. He belonged to a record club at the time and they had sent out the "Delaney" mix of the album. A quick canvassing of our friends showed that some had the "official" mix while others had the "alternate" mix, later identified as the "Delaney" mix. Funny thing though, those that first heard the "Delaney" mix preferred it to the "official" mix and vice-versa!! P.S. This same record club also sent out the famous Beatles "Butcher Block" cover with the revised cover pasted over it. When Howie got his copy, the edge was curling and a portion of the Butcher block cover was visible. He delicately peeled of the "official" cover and was the proud owner of a "Butcher Block" edition. We later found out that record clubs would get early pressings and that is why albums that had late changes sometimes slipped out in original form.....................T -- "I have lost my son.

I'll probably get some flak for this, but hey! With thanks to Roy Houston for steering me to a suitable tool, I can now report that I have archived the whole of AG's site to disk. I've made an auto-run DVD, using a cut-down HTML browser I've customised with Delphi. Whilst one's favourite browser may be used to advantage, at least it will run out of the jiffy-bag/mailer. Were Geetarz's site a living entity, there would be little point in this exercise, but it has remained static for the last nine months and liable to vanish overnight. One of my favourite adages is "if you don't want it, don't look after it". To humour Tone, I hereby request Mark's permission to distribute the contents of this disk. It's gone awfully quiet; but if it drags Mark out of hiding, it's worth it. Inevitably, some of the site's links are broken and I've retained that feature. My acquisition was restricted to the site and the embedded external links will force a web search. It's nice having a responsive local search and I'm sure some of you will welcome a copy. It seems appropriate to offer on this list, since the bulk of the discussion has occurred here and it's not a boot. I am offering three copies of this data DVD to parties that respond off-Digest with an address and promise to re-offer in turn.

Which of course meant that you had to swing the balance to almost 25 past to have the channels equal which resulted in very limited volume. Also on the initial pressings, I've Told You For The Last Time was track 3, and Lonesome And A Long Way From Home was track 9. Years later when they fixed the channel problem they also fixed the track order. Curiouser and curiouser.

About a month ago there was on Dimeadozen shared a great soundboard recording of Delaney and Bonnie and I'm quite sure this VaultRadio version is from that date February 22 1970. Here's the details for that recording: Delaney and Bonnie & Friends - 02/22/70 Fillmore West San Francisco CA 01 Things Get Better (5:11) 02 I Don't Know Why (6:07) 03 Will the Circle Be Unbroken (3:04) 04 Pour Your Love on Me (2:49) 05 Just Plain Beautiful (5:51) 06 Where There's a Will There's a Way (7:39) 07 Crossroads (7:21) 08 Special Life (6:24) 09 Poor Elijah/Ain't Nobody Here (6:55) 10 Coming Home (9:37) 11 Tutti Frutti/The Girl Can't Help It (3:35) [Bonnie Bramlett (vocals), Delaney Bramlett (guitar, vocals), Eric Clapton (guitar, vocals), Jim Gordon (drums), Jim Horn (saxophone), Bobby Keys (saxophone), Jim Price (trumpet), Carl Radle (bass), Leon Russell (piano), Bobby Whitlock (keyboards)] Sound quality is very good.

So, my first reaction, without consulting anything, was, "The year's wrong." I figured that Vault Radio simply got the year wrong, but it now apperas that the entire date is wrong. Now, the song times in at around 5:16, but on Olli's tracklist, it's 6:07 (22 February 1970). Not conclusive, it is possible if that 6:07 includes the "time between songs" (either before or after). And Olli seems to think this is the same performance as was recently distributed by Dimeadozen. DeltaNick -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The music clocks at about 5:15, but the Dime version has about 50 seconds of tune -ups etc. Of course I don't know if the date on the torrent ie. February 22 1970 is right, but I think it's pretty probable. Great recording anyway from the era of EC's first solo album.

I think you will find it a hard job to match or beat the current offerings; the "Slowhand Tourography" utilises a database engine to good avail. I've just trawled, (literally), the available resources whilst preserving the Geetarz site and I'm very impressed with the effort that has gone in to them. I think you should rationalise what you are able to provide in addition to that which already exists. The alternative is to co-operate with the Tourography project and add the artwork and other data to that. John ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jason Stewart guitarbuyer at gmail.com Fri Feb 17 23:24:57 EST 2006 I have, for the last year or two been working on a dynamic, fully searchable database that documents not only official tour dates but all known commercial bootlegs (and some of the cooler fan based projects). It contains most of the info available at Mark's geetarz.org site with the exception that it is fully searchable and dynamic. Data can be extracted in almost anyway imaginable (when it is done anyway). I'm curious if anyone, other than myself, think this would be a valuable resource? I've done it mostly for myself but would eventually like to publish it people would find it usefull. I have some lofty goals for the project but find myself unmotivated at times thinking I am the only Clapton geek who would use it. Thoughts?

The most recent buyer of Graham's company found the stash. He spent the last two years cataloging everything. From the site: "Wolfgang's Vault is the world's most exceptional collection of poster art, vintage t-shirts, concert photos, concert tickets and other rock music memorabilia. The Vault's holdings feature the complete archives of legendary rock impresario Bill Graham, whose headliners included Johnny Cash, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Janis Joplin, Aerosmith, Jefferson Airplane, AC/DC and Phish. Here, you'll find rock posters, concert photos, remarkably preserved vintage t-shirts and more from over 17,000 concerts worldwide." Thought the Slowhand crowd would enjoy looking through this. They have some Cream memorabilia on the site. Some of the stash is for sale, and some is reasonable and some is pricey. You can also hear audio from some of the concerts that haven't been heard in 30-40 years. Wolfgang, I believe, is Graham's first name.

My sister (who isn't a particular fan of Clapton) somehow chanced upon a copy of an Italian pressing of the first album in the mid-70s, which had tracks 3 and 9 inverted. I'd always wondered how that came to be. Years later when I remembered she'd had that LP I went looking for it, but sadly she'd long since lost it at a party or something. Would have been a nice collectable.

I took it home, cranked the volume and then, 1.50 into Slunky the volume in one of the channels dropped to about 20%, and stayed like that for the rest of the album. Which of course meant that you had to swing the balance to almost 25 past to have the channels equal which resulted in very limited volume. Also on the initial pressings, I've Told You For The Last Time was track 3, and Lonesome And A Long Way From Home was track 9. Years later when they fixed the channel problem they also fixed the track order. Curiouser and curiouser.

On a night where Jimi Hendrix would headline, Albert King would open the show. The mostly white audience was unaware of the lineage that existed between Hendrix and King (i.e. Hendrix was highly influenced by King), but Graham was adamant about giving these artists the exposure they deserved. I've got a clip of Albert King playing at the Fillmore that is unbelievable. I can only assume that in Grahams' archives there is more of some of the greats who don't have alot of footage available (such as Albert King). I hope that some of this footage gets released - although with all the record companies wanting to get their hands in the pot, it may be a long time. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I collect rare promotional and out-of-print items from various bands. I've been looking for the following CDV for awhile now, with no success: "Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" (RCA 001) CDV was a rare format from the early 90's that never took off. It stands for cdvideo. It is a hybrid disc that has audio tracks that can be played on any cd or dvd player, but the video portion can only be played on a laserdisc player. This particular CDV also has a 7 minute club remix of "We Built This City". So, the first person who can get a copy of this to me, will get the FTC vhs!! I will post when someone has "won" the video. _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar – get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/ From drpr at earthlink.net Mon Feb 20 11:26:42 2006 From: drpr at earthlink.net (Steve Proctor) Date: Mon Feb 20 11:26:46 2006 Subject: [Slowhand] Wolfgang's Vault Message-ID: <000c01c6363a$75377690$f622e118@HOME> Like Cathy, I caught the CBS item on Wolfgang's Vault. Immediately after the show, it was hard to get on the site because the server was too busy. The posters seem pricey, but they are, of course, highly collectable. I found the concert tickets to be reasonably priced - $38 apiece or less if you buy them in groups. But beware - the tickets are not grouped entirely accurately! Items BG079 and BG080 are Fillmore tickets as advertised. But BG109 claims to be Winterland tickets when in fact ticket #4 is from Sunday, March 3, 1968 - a Fillmore show! Item BG110 claims to be Fillmore tickets, but ticket #1 is the only one of the four from the Fillmore. The rest are from Winterland. The other oddity is that some of the tickets were good for multiple nights. So, if I am reading the tickets correctly, with the help of the Slowhand Tourography located at http://www.ectours.de/, ALL of the Fillmore and Winterland tickets are available. Sweeeeeeet! There is also a nice Cream T-shirt for $38 dollars - cheaper than they were at the RAH last year! Steve -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Bill Levenson just posted this over on the ICE board: http://www.icemagazine.com/forums/msgs.cfm?msg=3D154818&forum=3D2 ----- The "Delaney Bramlett" mix on bootleg is actually the "Clapton" mix. The=20 "Delaney Bramlett" mix has never been issued in any form - it features a=20 much more aggresive mix with more guitar, more vocals, etc. than either=20 the Clapton or Dowd mixes. The reason some of the mixes appear longer on=20 the Clapton mix is because studio chatter was left in before some songs=20 (Blues Power and Let Rain come to mind). from the liner notes: Three distinctive mixes of Eric Clapton were originally prepared.one by=20 Delaney Bramlett, one by Clapton, and one by legendary producer/engineer=20 Tom Dowd, who'd previously worked with Clapton on the Cream classics=20 Disraeli Gears and Wheels Of Fire. As Clapton explained to England's Melody Maker in 1970, "I left the tapes= =20 in L.A. for Delaney to mix, and he was waiting on me to finish one of the= =20 tracks. And he didn't realize that I was waiting on him to mix the tracks= =20 and send them over. Finally, my manager got kind of impatient and told=20 Atlantic to send the tapes to me, and I mixed them very badly. Atlantic=20 heard them, and didn't like them. Then they sent them to Tom Dowd, who=20 mixed them again. So they were mixed three times in all. Naturally, I=20 never heard Delaney's mixes until it was too late.the record was already=20 out." Although Dowd's mix of Eric Clapton was the one ultimately released, many= =20 who've heard Bramlett's version have expressed a preference for it over=20 the official release. This package makes the complete Delaney Bramlett mix= =20 officially available for the first time, pairing it with the familiar Dowd= =20 mix to allow listeners to decide for themselves. Also included here are an= =20 assortment of related rarities and outtakes. In addition to slightly resequencing the tracks, and adding "I've Told You= =20 for the Last Time" to Bramlett's ten-song running order, Dowd retained=20 Bramlett's mix of "Slunky" and Clapton's mix of "Easy Now." Otherwise, a=20 comparison of the two versions reveals some substantial differences.=20 Bramlett's mix generally sounds earthier and funkier than Dowd's cleaner,= =20 more pop-savvy approach, with Delaney's tracks often running several=20 seconds longer than Dowd's. ----- So Easy Now *should* be the same on bootleg and the official release.

Do you have, or have you listened to the Yellow Dog boot (the one purporting to be the Delaney mix), 'The Unsurpassed Eric Clapton'? In particular, track 4, After Midnight? Do you have, or have you listened to Eric's Crossroads boxed set from '88? In particular, Disc 2, track 10, After Midnight (alternate mix)? They sound the same to me. Are you suggesting that Bill Levenson, the compiler of the Crossroads set, chose Eric's mix in preference to Delaney's? Anyway, 28th Feb ain't that far away.

I've received several requests for this, but since I hadn't finalised the content, I was reluctant to make a formal offer. Furthermore, I wanted the members' tacit permission. CONTENTS: The DVD contains the following five web-site resources: [1] Geetarz [2] Eric Clapton Bootography [3] Slowhand Tourography [4] Slowhand Archive [5] Graeme Pattingale - Cream + Remasters ACCESS: The DVD contains a customised web-browser, which auto-runs and has individual launch buttons for each of the above items. The idea is to provide a self-contained entity; of course this is a Windows-only feature; Users on non-windows platforms will need their native browser, which can utilise "index.html", in the root directory. BENEFITS: Speed - The Slowhand Tourography and Archive are database-driven and generate requested pages upon demand. This capture has resolved all the possibilities and thus offers the fastest access, at the expense of size. MIRRORING: I used the HTTrack Website Copier to capture these sites and I have included the installation executable on the disk. http://httrack.com I have also included the mirroring configuration files, allowing incremental updates; however, this will require copying the disks' contents to your hard-disk, before an update and creating a new DVD if so required. Please be aware that this operation will impose a considerable load on the specific site's resources and should NOT be conducted unnecessarily. CAVEAT: Links external to the chosen site will force a web retrieval. Broken Links are preserved ;~) The Slowhand Archive has corrupted files for 2003 & 2005; however, I have saved the GZips, which contain the full entries. I also stole the equivalent files from Gerd Klassen's site, (http://www.12bar.de), which I find are more readable. These zip-files are contained in "\My Web Sites\ The Slowhand Archives\Zipped Archive". OFFER: I am offering five copies of this DVD-R; four to parties with burners, who promise to re-weed and one to a non-burner. Please respond off-list, with your solemn promise and postal details. Priority will be given to those that have already contacted me.

I mentioned I had sent Mark a non-music related thank-you gift. I did not her from Mark for quite a while and then finally did hear back. He was seriously burned out from his music efforts and didn't open my package fearing it was more CDs. I'm very glad to hear he seems to be ok and would suggest that maybe his lack of contact is just his way of making sure he doesn't get pulled back into the music area right now.

Absent any word from him, I'm not sure I see the problem. Mark put his site up there for all to use. It's free. The "distribution" by DVD isn't any broader than the distribution that occurs just from the site being up every day - in fact it's got to be narrower. I know that even with a DVD on the shelf it's going to be much easier for me to use the live site just by clicking on my bookmark, and I suspect that most of us will do the same - the DVD will serve mainly as a backup. Is there really any objection to people having a backup in case the site does go dark? Are we really doing anything other than using Mark's work as he intended it to be used? As a matter of philosophy, I'm not sure how far authorial control should really go. If an author decides to recall and burn all the copies of his books, is it morally wrong for those who have copies to keep them, or even distribute them, so that the work of art is not lost? J.D. Salinger went AWOL for a number of years a while back - if he had sent out a press release asking everyone to burn their copies of "Catcher in the Rye," would we have been morally obligated to honor his wishes, or is it fair to view a work of art as having a life independent of its creator? Same issue with a musician, of course. We all collect "unauthorized" recordings, so that seems to me to imply an answer..... Richard --------------------------------- What are the most popular cars?

Maybe it's OK to archive it if the site gets offline one day, but to download and spread the work of other people is another story. I'd be angry if someone does this with *my* website, because it's *my* work, I want to have the control over it and it's updated often, so outdated material it spread. I think Mark will not be pleased to hear this about his site. I know how much work it is to build it up. I often find websites of people, who use my page content, sometimes even without any modification, to get money from pop-up ads, Google ad and so on, and I always react quite harsh.

Among many other bands from this period, guitar driven power groups like The Who, The Yardbirds and Cream are strong influences of these three young men from the deep and dark backwoods of Victoria's Lake Bolac. Known as The Exploders, they are a band of conviction, standing tall as a Phoenix of the era, revisiting these sounds amid a modern and manic format. With hints of Sunny Boys, Credence Clearwater and The Kinks, their obvious love for primitive rock is worn proudly on their sleeve, as drummer Matt Britten admits, 'I'm a bit of a retro nut.' So what sets this band apart from the sea of today's sound alike rock revivalists you ask? 'As we are a three piece we are much rawer and stripped back then other bigger bands, we can't afford to be doing choreographed shows with calculated lights and stage positions. We put on a much more music orientated show, looks and moves are not our thing. In a word after all that, honest.' The inception of the band is your classic rock 'n' roll story. Friends meet together at high school and bond over a mutual love of music, they start writing music, realise they have something together and decide to take the band to the next level. 'I got to the end of my Uni course and decided I'd rather be playing music than sitting in an office. I asked the boys who I knew were more than capable musicians if they were interested, they said yes and we began to write and record in the Lake Bolac cottage. Our now manager Genevieve heard some of the tracks and began managing the band straight away. The first show was a couple of weeks after that and things kind of exploded from there (pardon the pun).' Having recently been described as appearing to channel the ghost of Keith Moon on stage, Matt 'Screamin' Lemons' Britten is the strong arm of the group. By the hands of Paul and TJ, this thunderous young drummer has been spoon-fed the likes of Mitch Mitchell, Ginger Baker and Keith himself. The vigor with which he plays, and the manner in which he monsters the kit, creates the percussive energy of the group. On Bass, the loose and lazy grooves of Paul Doery pulses in and amongst the drums to create the back bone of the group. While, raised in a farmhouse constantly rumbling with the vibrations of 'Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs', 'The Beatles' and 'The Doors', the guitar and vocals of TJ Allender are the result of such an environment. Widely thought of as being cruelly born 40 years after his time, TJ's vocal explosion of dirt and raw guitar sounds head the group. So if you like the sound of what you're hearing, you'll no doubt love their debut self titled album. 11 tracks of pure sexy rock, bursting with energy, catchy riffs, hooks and grooves. From the familiar 'My Country Brain' to the debut single 'Stepping Out,' the charming 'Cowboy Jim' and cheeky 'Big Hair Revolution', The Exploders are set to do just that.

Well if this is a little different than a website this is not schoking me. I mean as long as it stay the archival of Geetarz and is credited to him and freely distributed why not? Of course if Mark would not allow that we should respect his wish. I do believe that Mark is [was] much more concerned with the preservation and integrity of recorded music, using EAC, burning DAO at slow speed, no mp3 sourced CD, checking error free burned CDs, clearly identifing the source used when multi recording of a night exist (remember Paris 2004?), not using a cover art from one source for another one... To last I would acknowledge another one people, Rick Braley who is running the Clapton Bootography (http://pages.videotron.com/ronfaith/). It has been a great source of informations for me for many years (especially at the time of "I have near to nothing in my collection"). Seem that he decided also to have a long break as it was last updated on February 15, 2004. If you read this, thank you Rick.

There was no banter on this subject and there should have been. You weren't dreaming - but I'm afraid Jack Bruce was. I can't see Clapton agreeing to do another Cream show. The New York shows, particularly Tuesday's show, were great. But compared to London, Clapton showed a profound lack of enthusiasm. He cringed when Jack said something overly patronizing to the audience. At one point, Eric seemed to say something negative to Jack. But mostly, Clapton just stood there and played, ignoring his bandmates. Just like the old days. "And Wednesday's even worse" - that day, Clapton seemed like he couldn't wait to fulfill his obligations and get out of there. I fully expect to get creamed for my comments. But "before you accuse me," compare the commercially available Cream reunion DVD with the video of the New York shows. The enthusiasm in London is clear as evidenced by the band members' frequent recognition of each other at the end of songs, Clapton's hyperactive left leg and his frequent smiles. For the final New York show, the band didn't even seem to care about what they wore. Clapton wore the same T shirt he had worn the night before.

I may be in the minority here but I am really looking forward to the kick horns contributions to the forth- coming tour. I think a lot of people will be surprised to hear how great they really are! It doesn't necessarily mean that EC's guitar playing will be diminished to the point where we will question his whereabouts. I firmly believe that there is plenty of room musically for 3 guitarists and a horn section not to mention a piano player. I do feel however, that a keyboard player added to this mix is a bit too much though. We shall soon see. John -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is starting to sound as a fantasy come true. Robert Cray is one of my all time heroes and haven't seen him live for more than decade. In a recent Clapton interview Eric was full of praise and admiration for Robert Cray and his music. Maybe Robert will come out and jam on the encores as he did on their joint tour during the late 80's. Robert Cray is a first-rate act, that will be hard to follow and will surely keep Clapton on his toes. Now we'll be able to see 4 top guitar players during the same evening. I think we're in for a great treat. The Kick Horns were playing with Eric on the NBTB tour 1994-1995 and I'm sure nobody's complainig about the guitar on that tour??

There will be opportunity to take it easy and times when Eric will be "pushed" and challenged. After all, he is the "boss." I am more concerned about some of the other band members. Tim Carmon played keyboards for the Pilgrim Tour, and his 'over the top' solos were too much at times, but it was obvious from EC's reactions to those solos that he was diggin' it - and he is, after all, the boss. Then there are the two background vocalists from the RJ Tour of 2004: Michelle John and Sharon White. As long as I didn't have to watch them, I thought that they sounded "okay," (but they couldn't compare to Tessa and Katie), but they were "okay." Their appearance and their their manner of dress was nothing short of embarrassing, as many slowhanders commented. "Chubby little girls" in tight, abbreviated blouses showed a distinct lack of class. It was like their wardrobe consultant was Aretha Franklin (Aretha dresses much better now, but remember how she looked in the 70's and 80's?)... Tessa and Katie looked GOOD, dressed well most of the time and were always fun to watch! The aforementioned comments are my opinions, of course, and have about zero weight in the great scheme of things, but I'm feeling a little cranky today...

A thing with some 'Classic Rock' bands lately has been to tour and play albums in their entirety .For instance Cure played Faith and Prngraphy right thru, Jethro Tull are touring , playing Aqualung. It's probably beyond the realms of hope, but wouldn't it be great for Eric and band to play the Layla Album straight thru? No weak songs, Some hits, lot's of chances to stretch out and even time for a few hits as Encores - although 'Thorn Tree' would easily replace 'Over The rainbow' as a closing number. Even better would be for Eric to bring the Tour down Under. We are actually getting the Stones here in April!

That may seem both a bold and contradictory claim; let's take it one step at a time. A youthful 26, Mr. Trucks played his first paying gig at age nine in his hometown of Jacksonville, Fla., and at 14 began building the band he currently leads. Since then, he has toured under his own name, jammed with guitar heroes like Buddy Guy and Joe Walsh, and, since 1999, been an integral part of the Allman Brothers Band (which includes his uncle Butch Trucks on drums) filling the role originated by slide guitarist Duane Allman, who died in 1971. In recent weeks, rock radio has leaked the news that Mr. Trucks will be part of Eric Clapton's handpicked touring entourage for most of 2006. "Last year I started hearing various rumors that Clapton might be looking for a slide player, and then I got a call to come out to Los Angeles," Mr. Trucks said recently from a hotel room while appearing in San Francisco. "To hear his guitar sound! He's one of those guys who's been able to keep his tone. It was the same hands, the same technique. You remember really quick why he is who he is." An obvious question: Will they re-create "Layla," the timeless rock anthem from 1970 that featured Duane Allman alongside Mr. Clapton as Derek and the Dominoes? "Eric brought up the Duane connection, but it was more off the cuff. It would be a thrill to play those tunes with him, but I think once the band gets together it will kind of lead itself. I know when and where I'm supposed to be for rehearsals, and that's about it." The recent release of Mr. Trucks's sixth album, "Songlines" -- which will itself require time on the road -- promises an exhausting year ahead. But Mr. Trucks's commitment to his own group is steadfast. "I could feel it was a real turning point while we were doing the record. We grew into a band making this album, rather than just capturing a live performance in a studio, which is pretty much what we've done till that point." Mr. Trucks is proud of his groove-producing sextet, whose musicians range from men in their 20s to one in his 60s. Singer Mike Mattison, percussionist Count M'Butu and keyboardist-flutist Kofi Burbridge are recent arrivals, while bassist Todd Smallie and drummer Yonrico Scott started with the guitarist when he was in his mid-teens. "The last three years it's been snowballing. I think everyone's starting to realize that the band is forming its own sound now." Combine the band's progress, the new album, and the Clapton world tour, and add an appearance this coming Friday on Conan O'Brien -- his band's national television debut -- and it seems certain that Mr. Trucks's career is poised to reach a higher level. Whatever happens, he's already drawing to his concerts 20-somethings who regard the Allmans, Mr. Clapton and similar '60s stars as progenitors of the current jam-band scene, as well as gray-haired rockers who heard those bands in their prime and still prefer their music with guitars out front and a solid blues foundation underneath. Yet whether it's blues-rock or jam-band, Mr. Trucks bristles at being confined to any one musical category. "There's not a scene I really am head over heels about. I don't think there's any that completely fit the bill for what we're trying to do, you know?" Mr. Trucks's new album opens with a rousing version of jazzman Rahsaan Roland Kirk's "Volunteered Slavery," leading to the Southern soul of "I'll Find My Way," the electrified Delta blues of "Crow Jane," and eventually Caribbean rhythms and an Indian raga. "I think there's a way to incorporate all these styles that the band is playing so that it's more of an original music and not just a collision of different genres." When Mr. Trucks appears live, the band's set lists are as diverse as his recordings. When he slips a small medicine bottle onto his finger and touches it to the strings, his guitar is the thread pulling it all together with an unhurried fluidity that reveals a musician who has learned to speak through his instrument. That he chose to focus on slide guitar as a pre-adolescent has much to do with it. "The first connection I had with it was listening to Duane Allman on the Allman Brothers' 'Live at Fillmore East' and to [bluesman] Elmore James. The sound just really struck me and made me want to do that. That, and having small hands. When you're nine years old, it didn't hurt as much to play slide. "Later on I felt like it was pretty much only with the slide that I could get out what I was trying to do musically. It's a fretless instrument, so you can get all the little nuances that vocalists get that you can't get on other instruments." Mr. Trucks found that what he was attempting on slide guitar had little precedence: The majority of slide specialists who came before him had kept to an established blues-rock approach. "As an instrument, it has territory I could really explore," he says, "while with the electric guitar, after Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan, you have just a thousand clones out there. The slide guitar really is kind of untapped." Onstage, Mr. Trucks is unorthodoxy in action: Often his right hand snaps, more than plucks, the strings. Unlike most guitarists, he plays straight to the amplifier without pedals or special effects, yet can elicit the breathy detail of a saxophone or the growl of a well-tempered chainsaw. On his new album, he produces a grating, oil-drum effect on "Mahjoun." On the "Crow Jane" track, he follows the vocal so closely that it is moments before it registers that the melodic line has been assumed by the guitar. "I try to be ultra-sensitive with whomever I'm playing, even the guys that I've played with for 10 years," he says. "I think part of it is I don't want to feel like I'm completely comfortable, so I just keep working at it." Today, Mr. Trucks still resides in Jacksonville, where his father bought him the garage-sale guitar that started him on his journey more than 17 years ago. He and his wife, the singer-guitarist Susan Tedeschi, are raising two children while pursuing their respective careers. (Mr. Trucks added lyrical touches to Ms. Tedeschi's latest album, "Hope and Desire.") Among his generation, Mr. Trucks is an anomaly: a rising rock star who is unpierced, untattooed -- a long blond ponytail his most outstanding feature as he closes his eyes and works his guitar in concert. Don't expect any windmill strumming or stage leaps. (Of the recent Grammy Awards broadcast, he says, "You had all these superstars on stage and everyone was trying to make their big moment count. It's just not musical, man. At least sing in tune!") Like many of his musical heroes, he favors art over artifice, musical growth over grand, momentary gestures. "They all stayed students, you know? They're always learning. Playing with the Allman Brothers I get that feeling, especially with [drummers] Jaimoe and Butch back there. They've been at it almost 40 years and they're not resting on their laurels. They keep that fire burning." Mr. Kahn is author of "The House That Trane Built: The Story of Impulse Records" (W.W. Norton), to be released in June.

Who would not want to see them if they were close to home. There's no argument from me about that. Derek and Doyall have so much to give. The addition of Robert Cray and his band as an opening act really make these concerts even more exciting. Maybe somewhat like Robert Randolf in 2004 where he and his band were awesome.I have tickets for at least two of the shows at the R.A.H but I will be decididly p***** off if I get there in London after travelling 12,000 miles and 24 hours to find that Eric, who, I gotta say I have followed around the world in the last few years makes this a "Back Home" concert. Please don't do this to me! And hey Eric....you are not doing yourself or your fans any favours with the choice of back up singers. Listen to the fans who have supported you. Do you really care?.....I would like to think so. REALLY do! Trevor -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Here's the excerpt regarding the unreleased tapes found by the Cash estate, with quotes by Sony producer Greg Gellar; The tape archive, Geller says, "was a large walk-in closet with, I like to think, virtually every recording that ever passed through his hands," including test pressings of Cash's Sun records and publishing demos by Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. On one visit, Berkowitz noticed towers of unlabeled boxes wrapped in brown paper. Inside were multitrack audio masters from Cash's ABC TV series, The Johnny Cash Show, including unaired songs by guests such as Bill Monroe, Stevie Wonder and Derek and the Dominos. "It is extraordinary," says Berkowitz, who is planning future releases of the material (Sony owns the footage from the show). "You hear Louis Armstrong teaching Johnny to sing [Jimmie Rodgers'] 'Blue Yodel' and Ray Charles trying to teach the Carter Family to sing like the Raelettes." -end quote- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The complaining never stopped before Back Home was even released or after or until this day. Now people seem to have an obsession over the BACKUP singers? Katie Kissoon and Tessa Niles were great and I'm not sure why they're not still around but back up singers will not make or break this tour. I'm in the States and am jealous as heck about the European tour and the awesome opening act Robert Cray. On the other hand no one seems concerned that adding Derek Trucks may crowd the guitar section a bit. Yeah he's supposed to be a heck of a player but so is Doyle (and he plays a great slide just as Derek does). Then of course there's EC who of course everyone, including me, wants to hear solo. Then there is the loss of Nathan East who was a major force in the stablility and energy of the band on stage. Steve Gadd is gone as well yet all we seem to hear about on this digest is the BACKUP singers. Is it really that much of an issue? And the cracks about the backup singers don't seem to be about their singing anyway. Please stopping the ongoing bashing of the BACKUP singers and worry more about how the band as a whole will sound with several key changes.

The performances and the emotions conveyed by the performers still move me. My latest observation was the way Dhani moved over to Eric and put his head on Erics chest & shoulder during Joe Brown's rendition of "I'll See You In My Dreams". I imagine that it was an expression of closeness that Dhani might have done with his father. And with George being gone, Eric stood in, willingly. 'Tis a lovely and moving moment. On the technical side, during "My Sweet Lord" Andy F-L is either playing Rocky (George's Fender Stratocaster, painted by "The Fool") or a replica of it. Towards the end of the song, there's a right side shot of Billy Preston singing, and Andy F-L is behind him to his right. It's the only clear shot of the guitar. Anyone know if that was the real Rocky or not? And a question: in the credits we learn that the bass player in Joe Brown's band is Dave "Rico" Niles. Is Dave related to Tessa Niles? Lately I've also been watching the "Concert For Bangladesh" DVDs. Comparing the two performances, it amazes me how much Rock and Roll musicianship has improved during the years between them. What was difficult to play back then now looks simple. Everything sounds so much better.

Some of the things that Being a fan of EC has done for me. 1) Opened up the whole world of his influences and beyond. Freddie King, Albert King, Sonny Boy, Muddy Waters, Big Bill Broonsy, Lonnie Johnson, BB King, Howlin' Wolf, Robert Johnson, J.J. Cale, etc., 2) A class act! He's a good man and he keeps on perfecting his art and putting himself out there. Just be true to yourself and never give up. 3) Taught me about playing with feeling. Compliment who you are playing with. 4) Listen to the music you want to play. You can't move forward if you don't know where you are coming from. --------------------------------- Yahoo!

I can remember the first Eric Clapton Band. Yvonne Elliman was foisted upon him - she was the wife of an RSO executive who wanted a singing career. Having her tour with Eric was seen as a boost to her fledgeling career. There was a huge outcry, Eric doesn't need a backup singer she ruins his "sound" get rid of her! Eventually, the fans accepted her and were outraged when Marcy Levy joined the band. Again an outcry, "We already have Yvonne, we don't need Marcy!" In retrospect, they were probably prepping for Yvonne to go off on her own. I don't remember too much of an outcry when Shaun Murphy joined the band and EC's fans came to see Marcy and Shaun as an integral part of the band. Other musicians came and went but the girls were a staple. Then, horror of horrors, Marcy and Shaun were gone and were replaced by those upstarts Tessa and Katie! There was something of a negative reaction to that change, but they looked good so it quickly passed (notice I didn't say anything about how they sounded - it doesn't seem to be a consideration). Eventually Katie and Tessa also became our girls and all was fine with the world until the last tour. Eric had the temerity to replace our Katie and Tessa with overweight backup singers. Where's the eye-candy?? I had seen the initial sniping about the girls, on the digest, but ignored it. When the Belfast show was broadcast, I was very pleasantly surprised. They SOUNDED GREAT and, after all, shouldn't that be the PRIMARY qualifier. They added a bluesier, dare I say, funkier sound to the songs. Whatever the reasons for the change (Tessa concentrating on her family, Katie's schedule filled with tours by Roger Waters, or session work for a host of folks - Joe Cocker, Pete Townshend, Annie Lennox, etc) it IS here and as long as the backup singers SOUND good, isn't that all that matters. For a group that are fans of someone who is renowned for his passion for change and willingness to try new things, you sure are resistant to change!............T -- "Please don't assume that those of us whose ethics are not founded on a religious or faith based belief system have impoverished inner lives.

I think I had a normal reaction after being used with Tessa and Katie look. OK their look is just noticable as by the past when we remarked the nights EC was wearing an Armani suit or not. We are human, we have not only ears but eyes also. But after a few minutes all this was gone, I was there for the music and the real question was : are they good singers or not? Well I liked their job and IMO were great on HCM. Regarding the addition of Derek, I don't fear this will crowd the guitar section. I am not fond of Eric being alone on guitar and I have no doubt that he will remain the highlight even with two others backing him.

I watch CFG every now and then....In November of 2004, I saw the last few minutes of it on PBS and then on 11 March 2005, I finally got around to buying it (a birthday present for myself). It was probably the most important birthday present I will ever get. (more on this later). What I feel, is that, as you say, George is gone....as George would say, "gone from this life"....but George lives on through his family, his words, his music, and his ever powerful spirit, and through us. I didn't "get" the spiritual side of George Harrison, the Dark Horse, until many years after his music started to present itself in that direction. Now I get it more, and more and more each day. So, when I saw Dhani put his head on Eric's shoulder, I sensed the same reaction as you did, but also, that George was there, right on the stage at the RAH, which was a given, at least to me. Later, Dhani says, "Eric, your 're the man". I felt, and still do, that Dhani was somehow passing the mantle of music and the master baton to Eric, who also, lost a close friend. Eric is Slowhand. Eric is God, he's been called many things. Now he IS the man. When Eric included "Love Comes to Everyone" on Back Home, I sensed he still missed his close friend (I know I miss GH), and more importantly he wanted to show us, the spirit of George and his words and music live on.....Purely speculation on my part, and my opinion. Not sure if I have expressed myself clearly here....but the CFG changed my life. That concert, and what it did for me, lives in me still. Thank you George. Thank you Eric. Also, not sure I have shared this publicly here, but I know I have mentioned this to a few folks on the digest. After the 6 May 2005 concert at the RAH, when I got back to my hotel, I started to write down my thoughts and impressions of the gig. I took the "blog" of my notes back to the USA. When I got home, I knew I had a story to write and over the next few months I did indeed write a story, which I want to get published and make into a movie. Some of you, and you know who you are, are even in the story. But -- I have changed all the names of the characters -- except for one - and that one is - "The Man" -- Eric, himself. So I have been "pitching" and networking and have a meeting with a producer and 2 directors in LA next week. See you in the book stores and hopefully on the big screen! (Hopefully we will need many "extras" if we re-create the May RAH event. Blonde Rocker -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I've heard and seen "special," and their performance didn't measure up. But okay. Visually, however - disaster. We saw them from the 5th and 11th rows in the summer of 2004. That they were "chubby" was NOT the problem. Lots of big women pull of "the look" very well and are sexy like crazy, and Queen Lativa comes immediately to mind. What the girls wore on stage when we saw them was in poor taste and a distraction to the band's performance - I think. At the very least, their outfits should have FIT. If Billy Preston had worn tights and a thong, I'd say the same thing - oooh, sorry for the bad visual... Sorry. Maybe it is no longer an issue and that they have learned to dress in a manner more commensurate with the Clapton-band's classy image. I'm not usually so opinionated over minutia - and I won't post again on this topic (besides, I'm starting to sound like MrBlackwell, godferbid)!

Nathan and Gadd were in a rut with Eric and I feel this new duo along with Derek and Doyle will push our man to greater heights than we have seen. Nathan and Gadd are jazz players first and foremost and while they are well versed in playing other forms....give me a rhythm section schooled in blues and you'll "feel" the difference Yes Doyle is a fine slide player but he is not in the same league as Trucks (actually no one on the planet is right now, although Warren Haynes and Jack Pearson are right up there ) I don't expect to hear much slide from Doyle or Eric for that matter. Keyboards,Tim Carmon doesn't exactly do it for me ( Bobby Whitlock or Chuck Leavell would be awesome!) But let's see what the songs are. Chris Stainton is steady as a rock. The girls.... I think it's about the songs and the arrangements as far as their impact, I always enjoyed Yvonne's Can't Find my way Home and Marcy and Shaun both did fine jobs as soloists because they are basically solo performers in their own right. Tessa and Katie were great in that they never stepped on the song...just embellished where needed. Horns....nothing like a great horn section if the songs are right. Which really is the whole point of this tour.....what will Eric play? My guess is 4 Dominos tunes. Layla, Anyday, Key to the Highway, Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad. The good thing is that the girls can hit the high notes on those songs that Eric can't reach or Bobby Whilock did on the album.

OFFER: I am offering Three copies of this DVD-R; two to parties with burners, who promise to re-offer and one to a non-burner. Please respond off-list, with your solemn promise and postal details. Details from previous post by John Mills CONTENTS: The DVD contains the following five web-site resources (as at 22/02/2006): [1] Geetarz [2] Eric Clapton Bootography [3] Slowhand Tourography [4] Slowhand Archive [5] Graeme Pattingale - Cream + Remasters ACCESS: The DVD contains a customised web-browser, which auto-runs and has individual launch buttons for each of the above items. The idea is to provide a self-contained entity; of course this is a Windows-only feature; Users on non-windows platforms will need their native browser, which can utilise "index.html", in the root directory. BENEFITS: Speed - The Slowhand Tourography and Archive are database-driven and generate requested pages upon demand. This capture has resolved all the possibilities and thus offers the fastest access, at the expense of size. MIRRORING: I used the HTTrack Website Copier to capture these sites and I have included the installation executable on the disk. http://httrack.com I have also included the mirroring configuration files, allowing incremental updates; however, this will require copying the disks' contents to your hard-disk, before an update and creating a new DVD if so required. Please be aware that this operation will impose a considerable load on the specific site's resources and should NOT be conducted unnecessarily. CAVEAT: Links external to the chosen site will force a web retrieval. Broken Links are preserved ;~) The Slowhand Archive has corrupted files for 2003 & 2005; however, I have saved the GZips, which contain the full entries. I also stole the equivalent files from Gerd Klassen's site, (http://www.12bar.de), which I find are more readable. These zip-files are contained in "\My Web Sites\ The Slowhand Archives\Zipped Archive". There were two files from the Slowhand Archive website that contained a vius. They have been removed.

Idon't know if they were really the best rythm section but they have my preference. About Gad/East I have quite a neutral opinion : they did great job but they did not particularly shine in my ears. I am quite excited waiting to ear the new rythm section. Hope EC will perform Cocaine in a bluesy manner like in Japan 93. I must admit that the Nathan years for that tune are not my fave (1983 with Albert Lee and 1993 are). DBII is a great guitar player but his style is more relevant of Hendrix style than Duane, so the addition of Truck can give a new interesting touch. Watching the Roger Waters DVD sounds like a miscast for me, well DBII in David Gilmour shoes was not the most accurate choice - in fact who can play Floyd stuff instead of DG?

I have received a copy of the 3 DVD set and they are messed up and won't play. I'd like the tools to tell me what is wrong with them - and even how to fix them. I'm refering to the format of the data on the discs. I've been able to correct disc 1. It had "DVD1" as the only directory in the top / root of the disc. This is not correct per the dvd format. Inside that directory was VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS. Reburning the disc with those in the top level directory fixed the first disc and it now plays (great stuff on there!). Discs 2 and 3 have the same directory hierarchy layout problem, but applying the same fix does not fix them. As I've reburned the discs with Nero, I'm assuming that the format of the video streams is correct as I've had it complain when they are not... Any ideas?

While Nathan East is an excellent bass player and seems like a operfect gentleman, I would prefer someone with a rougher, more earthy style of playing bass. Nathan was too smooth for my taste. I wouldn't say that Nate East has no "soul," though. I think he's got plenty of that. But I agree that he doesn't seem to have that raw, "bluesy feel," a certain swagger. Maybe the correct word is not "soul," but "balls." DeltaNick -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Interesting choices... While not an anally retentive Clapton scholar, I cant think of many versions of those two on boots outside of the Dominoes era. So I'd love to hear these as well, but recent form suggests that if any other Dominoes tunes do make an appearance it is more likely to be Bell Bottom Blues and/or Nobody Loves You When Your Down and Out. As for the band: I'm entirely neutral about the Gadd/East substitution. I dont know much about the Jordan/Weeks combo so I'm looking forward to see how the sound changes (wasn't it Steve Jordan who played with Neil Young on the Saturday Night Live rendition of Rockin in the Free World?). And regarding the addition of Derek Trucks: Bring it on !!! Trucks is a great guitarist. If allowed to, the combination of Trucks and Bramhall has the potential to push Clapton in a way that he wont have been pushed since Duane Allman accompanied him on a certain album that many of us know and love... But the operative words are "If allowed to". Horns? Great - loved their contribution to Live at Hyde Park. Backing singers? Couldn't really care what they look/dress like. Yes, I miss Katie & Tessa, but the new girls sound good as well. The bad news, of course, is that I haven't heard mention of a harp player. You know its going to be a GREAT tour/performance when Portnoy is on board. The even worse news is that there has been no mention of down-under dates...

We've discussed some of these topics here in the pages of the Slowhand Digest before. So, for your reading pleasure ... On his guitar playing: "Quite honestly I don't think I could play one of those solos on every track. My lead guitar playing has really slipped because I'm controlling the band, writing songs, everything else. Consequently something has to suffer and the lead guitar has probably suffered most of all" (Barbara Charone, "Eric Clapton: Farther On Up The Road," "Sounds," October 1976, http://theband.hiof.no/articles/clapton_interview_sounds_oct_1976.html). ----- On his politics: Defender of the blues, composer of concertos, rock prommer; Clapton is an ardent traditionalist these days, a small 'c' conservative whose continuing pre-eminence in his field combined with his readiness to perform for uncontroversially Good Causes such as the Prince's Trust and Amnesty International must make him a strong candidate for a knighthood. (Only last year Prince Charles presented him with, yes, another award, to mark his 25 years in the music business.) And although Clapton is dismissively modest about his vast accumulation of such honours - "it's nice to get a pat on the back" - you sense that they actually mean a lot to him (Robert Sandall, "Eric Clapton: The Solo Artist ," "Q," January 1990, http://www.rocksbackpages.com/article.html?ArticleID=1399). I'm one of those people on the scene that just has an absolute aversion to trying to be topical or trying to promote a message and using music as a platform to say something about a political situation or world starvation, anything! That's fine for other people, I just don't like it (laughs) so it was really difficult to write this song ["Revolution"] (Eric Clapton as quoted in "Back Home," "Where's ERIC!" February 2006 [Issue 38], p. 7, interview extracts from Warner Brothers EPK). ----- On his latest album, "Back Home": People say that if you want to bore someone silly, sing them a happy love song! It's a difficult formula, but that's what I wanted to do (Eric Clapton as quoted in "Back Home," "Where's ERIC!" February 2006 [Issue 38], p. 7, interview extracts from Warner Brothers EPK). DeltaNick "Billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions ..." -- Carl Sagan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Of course it's nice to find quotes, where he thinks quite postively of his current music. I think EC isn't the baddest of Clapton bashers after all. Here's a couple quite recent ones: Guitar Player - June 2001 Q: You've said in the past that after you heard the Band you made the decision to leave the bombast of Cream. Did hearing them also affect how you wanted to hear the guitar? EC: "Very much so. What I appreciated about the Band was that they were more concerned with songs and singing. They would have three- and four-part harmonies, and the guitar was put back into perspective as being accompaniment. That suited me well, because I had gotten so tired of the virtuosity-or pseudo- virtuosity-thing of long, boring guitar solos just because they were expected. The Band brought things back into perspective. The priority was the song." Q: At this time, do you consider yourself a song-writer first and a guitarist second? EC: "Yes, I think I've reached that point. For me, it was a reverse process. I started out as solely a guitar player, then I learned how to sing, and then I learned how to write and eventually became a songwriter. Now I feel like all of those skills are equal." More to the Blues interview, date: February 6, 2004 EC: "I mean I play, I sing the same way as I play. I try to sing the same way as I play.

To commemorate the 35th anniversary of the recording of "Live at the Fillmore," the band performed the album, from beginning to end. I've said it before and will say it again - Derek Trucks is more than the real deal. We are witnessing the ascension of a guitarist/musician to levels that few ever achieve. Each solo is just so damn inventive - he really makes Warren Haynes sound like a pedestrian guitarist. No Derek and The Dominoes songs but I hope to have the opportunity to hear Eric and Derek do "Stormy Monday" on the next tour. Other show highlights were a kick-ass version of Freddie King's "Woman Across The River," and Susan Tedeschi leading the vocals on "The Weight." By the way, I have one extra ticket available for The Allman Brothers Band. Tuesday March 21, Orchestra row W, seat 15. Face value of $80 or best offer. Only caveat is that I'm leaving town on business trip Saturday so sale would have to be completed before that.

Warren Haynes has, when not overloaded with effects, the greatest tone emanating from his Les Paul w/Engle/Diaz combination of amps, since the 70's...Derek is beyond imagination (and the sweetest kid you'll ever meet) and not just a fitting "family" member and replacement for Uncle Duane, but an even better player (by far, no little feat) than Duane dreamed of being (if a little less versatile). As far as Derek's playing not reaching that spot that Clapton's does, that may be true, Clapton's solo's are more accessible, more understandable to a non-musician's ear, where Derek are like the Miles Davis, John Coltrane or Charlie Parker of rock/blues guitar, not avangarde, not spaced or overly freeform, but more musically intellecutal, more adventurous, less pop. Warren and Derek are without a doubt the best guitar combination that the ABB have ever had...see 'em live and you'll ever be changed for the better...they are better than in their hey-day @ Fillmore East.

On a typical weekend estate hunting party - each person will kill about 800 birds - birds that have been kept in pens and their first day of flying is the day they get shot - these hardly seems sporting to me - EC however has said he hunts only what he can eat - so while I would be personally squeamish about killing anything - I am less disturbed by his hunting.

Better than good, according to Dave Ferris of Howling Dog Productions, which is bringing famed guitarist Hubert Sumlin to Owego for one night only as the headliner for this weekend's Ice River Blues Festival. "The word 'legendary' is thrown out there all the time," Ferris said. "But in this case, it is absolutely the truth." Sumlin got his start at the side of no less a bluesman than Howlin' Wolf and went on to leave a permanent stamp of greatness on the world of blues. The aforementioned CD, About Them Shoes, is Sumlin's critically acclaimed most recent recording, released in 2003. But if the chance to see a guitar legend isn't enough, the Ice River Blues Fest is teaming up with Teleman Vintage Guitars to present the Ice River Vintage Guitar Show, which will coincide with the Festival. "This is a beautiful marriage of doing the guitar show with this concert," Ferris said. "They approached us and asked if they could piggyback on our show. There will be people playing and demonstrating; everything and everybody is going to be there." The guitar show is 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at the Owego Treadway Inn. Admission is $6. Sumlin will take the stage at the Treadway at 8 p.m. Saturday. Advance tickets at $17.50 are available at The Jailhouse Restaurant in Owego (687-9811) or at the Owego Treadway (687-4500). Tickets are $20 on the day of the show. Ferris said the guitar show is a first for the region and will bring together dealers from New York, Pennsylvania and surrounding areas to display, buy, sell and trade guitars, amps and effects. The concert will be the icing on the cake. "If you are a guitarist, you can't miss this," he said. "It's going to be pretty wild."

It may be a generalisation, but too often musicians or actors/stars become so filled with their own importance that they believe their political or religious views deserve airing, and they are not usually qualified or educated enough in the subject to make that worthwhile. One of my pet dislikes is the Australian band Midnight Oil (now defunct), which mixed politics and music. Personally I want to hear music, not a lot of political posturing.

That being said EC has been making political statements through whole his career; the Enoch Powell comment in the 70's, the participation in the Mandela/"Anti-apartheid" concert in the 80's, and his statement regarding support for the Royal family and the institution they represent just recently. A couple of years ago he stated in VanityFair that the person he dislikes the most is Rupert Murdoch. If his political stance has impact on my relationship with his music? I would definitely say no, and agree with most on this list. However, if he suddenly came out as a neo-nazi (totally hypothetical and illogical, of course) things would have changed. Political stance is therefore not to be counted out entirely.

I have seen Haynes and Trucks live with the ABB and think they are great. I also think they are great in their solo careers. Haynes being a bit more experienced with Govt Mule, but I believe Trucks has more of an upside. That being said, in my opinion, they have yet to reach the level of Duane Allman and Dickey Betts in the late 60's and the famous Fillmore Concert. Carefully listen to that show again...brilliant.

Details from Geetarz Web Site Eric Clapton - Unplugged Complete London, England - January 16, 1992 - Geetarz 288/289 - DVD-R2 Geetarz Comments - After years of research, this DVD set compiles the best available footage of the complete "Unplugged" session held at Bray Studios, London on January 16, 1992. Two different sources have been combined - a better quality, but incomplete, source; and a timecoded, lesser quality source to fill in the portions missing in the former. Combined for the first time on this DVD set, they offer a complete picture of the "Unplugged" session from start to finish, including the famously hilarious bit of Eric being harassed by the makeup artist!.

Are you preparing for anything here? [NOTE - at the time of this interview it had not yet been announced that Trucks would tour with Clapton] DT ? (laughs) Doing the Derek and The Dominos tunes definitely has something to do with the fact that I?ll be playing in Eric Clapton?s band next year. When thinking of tunes to add for New Year?s, it?s always fun to figure out some stuff that half of the crowd will be familiar with and half of the crowd will know the tune but not be sure why. I thought ?Anyday? fit that bill pretty well. I don?t know if I?ll be playing any of those Derek and The Dominos tunes with Clapton. I don?t know exactly what the plan is other than the fact that we?re doing a European tour and possibly more. I?m definitely excited about the prospects whatever it turns out to be. The band sounds strong. It is one of those opportunities that you don?t turn down and you don?t really ever expect to get. It should be quite a year. RT ? So, when does this all begin? DT ? The rehearsals are in April and I think we start in May. We do a few weeks first, then a week and a half Royal Albert Hall run. It sounds like a good time, some amazing touring. I get to go to a lot of places in the world that I?ve never been. Getting to play with him is gonna be quite an education. He?s seen and done it all. RT ? Have you recorded or rehearsed with him at all already? DT ? I recorded with him four or five months ago on a completely different project. He and J.J. Cale are doing a record together and I did the basic tracks with him, maybe nine or ten tunes. That?s when I got the offer to play in his group. Since then I?ve been out doing this thing and he?s been taking some time off after doing the New York Cream dates he did and we?re getting? started in April, so I?ll see what happens then. RT ? How did he find you, I heard Doyle Bramhall II from Austin had something to do with it?. DT ? I?m guessing he did. At the time he was recording on Susan?s record. Susan was saying that Doyle had our record, and was talkin? him up. I?m guessing maybe he turned on Clapton to our stuff. I?m not exactly sure, but I?m feeling that is where it came from. I definitely appreciative of him for that, because it only takes having the right person chewing on the right person?s ear (laughs). It?s amazing how things happen. RT ? So, when you met him he indicated a familiarity with your work? DT ? Yes, he was familiar with some of the Indian Classical stuff we had done. I could tell that he had listened to our group. RT ? Since the late seventies, Clapton hasn?t really had a taste for improvisational jams or any kind of ?stretching.? Even when Cream reunited, while they did explore a little, on balance they kept things somewhat structured. Do you get the impression that this tour will be different from his recent tours in that he will explore a little more? DT ? At this point I really have no idea, honestly. I don?t know what tunes we?re gonna play. I have a general idea of who is going to be in the band but I don?t know exactly what role I?ll be playing or anything like that. It?s really too early for me to say. I?m guessing that it will "open up" a little bit. I would imagine that if he?s having me out then it?s not just to play parts the whole time. I imagine there will be some fireworks.

Apparently after Eric performance some things changed as he is featured on the video takenfrom that day not only as Dire Straits member but also as solo performer on WT.

However, there's a 4-CD bootleg "box set" from EC's return to touring in 1974 called "On White." The above four tracks, unwritten as of 1974, are not on the Mid-Valley release. Check it out at the following Geetarz URL: http://www.geetarz.org/reviews/clapton/on-white.htm.

In fact, I have even upgraded some things. Question: I have upgraded to 4 gig of RAM up from 1 gig. Where I seem to notice the difference is in the video project-rending process. It seems to be a lot faster. Does this make sense? You techies out there. What are the main advantages of having this much RAM? I did it because I remember someone saying that you can never have enough money or enough RAM. But I really don’t understand all the RAM-ifications (sorry, I couldn’t resist ) of why this might be good to do. Also, I will be recompiling Video Collection Vol. 2 (3 DVD’s). I actually have the song list already setup, but would anyone like to offer any suggestions of individual performance songs to be included? Would anyone like to contribute any rare vids for this or the followup Vol. 3 ? Vol. II will be very similar to Vol. 1 in its presentation. Thanks.

WE WOULD ALL APPRECIATE HIS CONSIDERATION OF THE FOLLOWING. I'm copying Len's post again and adding my own comments to the end (kind of like one of those letters to the editor that people send out for people to adapt and use). "If someone in Eric's camp is listening... In addition to your own blues, Cream and pop tunes, it would be great to see you do one George Harrison tune, one Dylan tune and at least one of the older blues greats' lesser known tunes (e.g., Muddy Waters, Albert King, Freddy King, Lowell Fulsom).

I will also add that he should really use Derek Trucks to mix things up, try something new and not be afraid to "wing it." More bands do that each day and mix up the sets lists, give a try EC and don't be afraid to make a mistake. Nobody wants to see an AUTO-PILOT tour even if 70% of the time you are spot-on!

I had also read at the time that the album was supposed to be a CD/DVD combo, and wondered why that didn't eventuate, and Oldaker cleared that up too. It is a great album BTW, I'm really pleased I made the effort to chase it up.

Clapton appears on Crosscut Saw, Double Trouble, All Your Love, Every Day I Have The Blues. The entire DVD is fantastic. Love the version of You Don't Love Me (that great blues song that the Allman Brothers covered on the Fillmore album)..... So cool to see Otis Rush side by side with Clapton......

Since opening the 14-night stand on March 9 with an appearance by longtime Howlin' Wolf guitarist Hubert Sumlin, the Allmans have welcomed a parade of guests, including Taj Mahal, Ben Harper, Mountain's Leslie West, Susan Tedeschi, former ABB/current Rolling Stones keyboardist Chuck Leavell and jazzman Bernard Purdie. On March 13, exactly 35 years after the recording of the band's legendary album "At Fillmore East," the Allmans upped the ante and performed the set in its entirety. "Christ, did that kick my ass," drummer Butch Trucks told Billboard.com. "We played the whole 'Fillmore East' album for the first set and then came back in the second set and really jammed. We went back and listened to the album and realized that some of the songs had morphed into something else. So we tried to be a little bit more true to the record on songs like 'You Don't Love Me."' Mixing in both ABB staples with obscure album tracks and such choice covers as the Band's "The Weight," Derek and the Dominos' "Anyday" and Howlin' Wolf's "Smokestack Lightin'," this year's run impressed even the Allmans. "I don't know what happened," Trucks said, "but last Saturday night, (drummer) Roy Haynes got up and sat in with us, and all of a sudden, everything jumped up four of five notches, and hasn't come down since. This past week has been the most incredible week of music that I've ever been through. I mean, I've had nights where it's just been unbelievable, but I've never been through an extended period of time like this. Everything we try works." With this year's stand continuing through Sunday (March 26), Trucks promised still more surprises, but was tight-lipped with specifics. He did quell rumors about a guest appearance from Eric Clapton, with whom his nephew and ABB guitarist Derek Trucks has recently been collaborating. "On Saturday and Sunday, a very special guest is gonna be there," he said. "We're gonna finish this off with a bang. He's a friend that goes way back. He was one of (late band founder) Duane Allman's close personal friends."

Jay Thought you'd enjoy this. Also note that they did Layla last night. The rumor of Leslie West's appearance has permeated the crowd, so it is only a mild surprise when he is set up center stage for set two. However, Corky Laing's presence on Jaimoe's kit (Laing being West's crony from Mountain, one of the archetype power trios providing the blue print for the original Gov't Mule) is news. The band eases into "Summertime," the Gershwin tune from Porgy and Bess that some may remember from Janis Joplin's soulful version; this arrangement evokes Joplin's. West is all over it, with a stinging, buzzing tone and a take-no-prisoners attack, ratcheting up the energy level two notches from set one. Warren takes the ball, finds the pain in the song, milks it like a tongue on a toothache, then transforms it from pain into something good. Warren and Leslie are firmly camped out in the big, loud, dumb happy sludge place; with Leslie West on stage, you wouldn't have it any other way. Derek steps forward, changes up, plays some ethereal gloomy slide, yielding to West. Derek is the blue angel, to the two devils on his left. Suddenly Derek is in that hi-toned, fast easy blue place. West turns his head up, looks at Derek, responds to what he hears , and the guitar guys in the back of the hall whoop it up as West lets loose. Next, "Born Under a Bad Sign." Warren and West trade vocals, each singing a verse. The band has morphed into a lumbering dinosaur-a very deft dinosaur. West stings on a blues solo, Warren picks it up, then they take it down with a stomp for Derek. As Derek works his spells, West walks over to him, right up to him, in his face like he's observing a specimen in the wild, like he's never seen one of these before. Then he engages, beginning to play with Derek as he steps back. Then Derek and West do the mind meld, meshing and flailing at each other, pulled forward by a sheer powerful magnetism leading back into the song's riff and close. Whew.

I forget the obscure song they played, but EC had some sweet soloing licks on it! It was only snippets, not the whole song. i saw this at the cleveland international film festival. i highly recommend it if it comes to your town - it outlines the decline of radio, and why no-talent artists get exposure and a guy like doyle does not. there is a hilarious sequence where a pretty young thing who can't sing makes a record and video. also, the movie opened with Ray Charles on piano and a young Billy Preston singing and dancing like James Brown behind a standup microphone! to my friend bluescrazy, there also was a forum with the director and producer afterwards, but i didnt have time to hang around and ask if i could obtain the stock footage of the whole EC performance (ha ha)........ l8r sambo8 ps there was also a documentary released last summer about robert randolph and the family band called "Press On", has anyone ever seen that one?? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Flac is just a way to compress audio files (*.wav) without loss of quality. Using MP3 you compress the audio files much more and lose data (although lots of people say they don't hear the loss :) ). Downloading the right encoders you can listen to flac-files with free software like WinAmp or Windows Media Player on your computer. If you have installed the right codecs for Nero Burning Rom it burns and converts them simultaneously to a CD. It seems to me, that dBpower AMP Music Converter is capable of converting between flacs and wave-files, so you can create an audio CD after the conversion.

I chose just some of them. There were some others, a little bit agressive to our man, so I'm gonna spare him in his bday's week. Top 20 reasons eric didn't show up at the beacon: 01. no longer living on "blues power". 02. accidently sold all his guitars at last christie's auction. 03. cabbie would not drop him off unless he got free tickets to next cream reunion show. 04. watching reruns of lynyrd skynyrd's hall of fame induction. 05. laying low since the BALCO steroid allegations. 06. forgot to reset his watch - he's still living on tulsa time. 07. NCAA baby! 08. waiting for his 2005 IL's to arrive. 09. whad'ya mean they're now doing layla? 10. no dickey. 11. He was miffed because he did not get the pre-sale password. 12. In the spirit of Microsoft, Gibson threatened to withdraw support for the Gibson guitars played by Warren & Derek if anyone brought a Fender on-stage. 13. Ticketmaster sent his back-stage pass to the wrong address, and he gave up after getting disconnected while trying to talk to them about it. 14. Having posted the setlist prior to the start of two shows under the name of TOYPLANET, Clapton was fearful for his safety if he showed up again at the Beacon. 15. Clapton did not want to share the stage with Dickey Betts. 16. All the shows were scheduled to start before midnight 17. He was actually further on up the road eatin a ham sammich with mayernaise. 18. Clapton was seen outside the Beacon tonight. He is trying to figure out where everyone is 19. I think he heard his last record and fell asleep. 20. Who is this Clapton person everyone keeps talkiing about? Don't agree with all of it, but some are really funny!

IMHO missing the Beacon shows is EC's loss. The ABB is a truly exceptional blues/rock band these days that are not afraid to take a chance on improvising a set list night in/night out. Different guests appear each night and that combined with the changing set list adds an element of excitement and anticipation to each show. As for the venue, the Beacon is simply a great place to see a show -- very intimate. I've been fortunate enough to make the Beacon run for a couple of nights each of the past 4 years or so. Even if you can't attend the shows I would highly recommend trading for a boot from a show. Take a listen - you won't be disappointed.

As he starts his British tour, the legendary blues guitarist tells Elaine Lipworth he's still just making a living. 29 March 2006 BB King is widely regarded as the greatest living blues guitarist. Many contemporary rockers credit him as a formidable inspiration - from Mick Jagger to Eric Clapton to Bono. But the 80-year-old musician has a different perspective on his ability. "I don't think it's true," he says with a shrug. "Kids tease me. They start to bow. I'm not trying to stop them. I think I'm a pretty good musician. I don't think I'm the best, that's all." When I point out that he's often hailed as the second most gifted guitarist of all time, after Jimi Hendrix, he shakes his head. "Well that's very nice, but I would put Eric Clapton and a few others ahead of me. Eric is the number one rock and roll guitarist and he also plays the blues better than a lot of us. And I can tell you this, I consider him as a great friend, he's a wonderful man, what we call in Mississippi 'free-hearted'." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ There's more about BB in the article: http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/music/story.jsp?story=684477 John From Feeeb3 at aol.com Wed Mar 29 11:30:36 2006 From: Feeeb3 at aol.com (Feeeb3@aol.com) Date: Wed Mar 29 11:30:49 2006 Subject: [Slowhand] Re: Slowhand Digest, Vol 7, Issue 121 Message-ID: <22b.951ba05.315c102c@aol.com> To Slowhanders living in Atlanta: This Sunday,4/2 some of our local blues bands will be doing a Tribute to Eric Clapton charity event at Blind Willies.-for more information, log onto atlantabluessociety.com---see ya there!!

Message-ID: <000301c653a3$df29a1a0$cc36e147@D16RHW81> Hi all Question on Derek & The Dominos. KNOWN FACTS: ~ On 23/10/70 and 24/10/70 they played the Fillmore East, two shows each night. ~ Both nights were recorded, presumably both shows each night. ~ Material from those nights was used for the Fillmore albums (in their various incarnations). ~ Both of the late shows have been booted over the years. I just received today the new Paddington set entitled "Complete Fillmore Tapes" (10 CDs worth). Their liner notes (and I've found Paddington to be very accurate on their notes) state that all four shows were recorded). The Paddington set includes the early and late shows from the 23rd (both soundboard and audience) and the late show (again, both soundboard and audience) from the 24th. The soundboard from the early show on the 23rd isn't complete, and I suspect that the audience one isn't either. But, Paddington says this is all there is. QUESTION: Does anyone know what happened to the early show tapes from the 24th? I find it hard to believe that something hasn't leaked out.

At the time of his death, Hendrix was considered an excellent guitarist, but not in the same league as BB King or Clapton, and some others. Mike Bloomfield, for example, played with Hendrix in New York BEFORE he ever met Clapton. The Paul Butterfield Blues Band toured the UK in October-November 1966, and Bloomfield, their lead guitarist, eagerly sought Clapton and eventually linked up with him. On his return to the US, Bloomfield simply raved about Clapton, and never mentioned Hendrix, pronouncing Clapton the best of all. I certainly enjoyed seeing Hendrix, in 1968. But to tell the truth, I'd enjoyed seeing Bloomfield play a bunch more. Mike didn't waste his time doing "sound effects" or paying tribute to space aliens, he simply played damn great guitar. So did Clapton and a few others. And yes, I'm aware that Bloomfield claimed that he couldn't play as well as Hendrix. But I think he played better guitar, and more styles of guitar. On one of his trips to the UK, Freddie King stayed with John Mayall. Mayall played recordings of both Clapton and Hendrix, and King much preferred Clapton's playing. Amazing what a great PR machine -- and the myths created by that PR machine after Jimi's death -- can do. This is revisionism, pure and simple. Hendrix was a great, and a total performer. But if you were looking for the guitar player among the two, while Hendrix lived, Clapton won the awards and Hendrix didn't, and Clapton was MUCH more in demand as a player on others' records. Everyone wanted Clapton to play on their records, not Jimi Hendrix. In fact, I believe that Mike Bloomfield was in demand more than Hendrix as well. There are several myths in the history of "rock." Here are two more. 1. There was a riot at the Blind Faith concert, 12 July 1969, at Madison Square Garden, NY. I was there, and it never happened. When I read about it in "Rolling Stone" a couple of weeks later, I remember becoming angry, because it simply was NOT true. 2. Bob Dylan was booed off stage when he went electric at the Newport Folk Festival, in July 1965. I've heard the recordings: it simply didn't happen. There was NO booing. Furthermore, Al Kooper, who was Dylan's organist at the performance, wrote the same in his biography, "Backstage Passes & Backstabbing Bastards." There's no question that Jimi Hendrix was a great performer, songwriter, and guitarist. But the idea that Hendrix-was-the-greatest-guitarist-ever is pure myth born long after Jimi's death by the Experience Hendrix PR machine and some fans. But don't simply take my word for it. Check to see who won the best guitarist polls in the late '60s and 1970, while Hendrix was alive, and you'll see Clapton's name at the top of the list more than anyone else's.

Message-ID: While I agree with the spirit of what DN says - the Hendrix PR machine after his death has been about selling the man's name, music and anything he did to make a buck, the simple reality is that Eric was the one Jimi sought out upon his arrival to the UK. So does that make Eric better simply on that front - no. Yes Bloomfield and others revered the Bluesbreakers album that Clapton was on, and yes he created a star guitar out of the Gibson Les Paul and created a new sound with the Marshall/Gibson setup - but that does that make Eric better - no. Eric is a better guitarist if you personally like him more than whoever else. I'm sure we could go and find quotes and relay similar informaiton of all the artists who felt Hendrix was better or could cite how Clapton was shaking the moment that Hendrix got on stage to play.. But that shoulnd't change anything either. Subjectivity is subjecitivity, even in polls that Clapton might have one, it's all opinion. Enjoy the guitarists you like and the rest shouldn't matter - it's all subjective anyways. >>When I point out that he's often hailed as the second most gifted >>guitarist of all time, after Jimi Hendrix, he [BB King] shakes his head >>(http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/music/story.jsp?story=684477 ) << This is sheer poppycock.

Depends what you mean. It's my understanding that multitrack (ie, for possible record release) recordings were only made of the late shows. That said, Bill Graham made stereo recordings of many/most (?) shows at his venues, so it's possible recordings of the early shows were made in that manner. >~ Material from those nights was used for the Fillmore albums (in their >various incarnations). > >~ Both of the late shows have been booted over the years. Yes, although it is unclear how accurate those boots are. Bottle Of Red Wine shows up on the boots of both nights, yet it is the same performance. And (if memory serves) Have You Ever Loved A Woman is edited on the 10/24 boot (as it is on the official release), yet there's another boot that has it unedited. It's unclear what else may be "wrong". >I just received today the new Paddington set entitled "Complete Fillmore >Tapes" (10 CDs worth).

I don't have this, but I've got a CD-R with 4 soundboard tracks that *claims* to be from the early show on 10/23. I don't have the audience recording to compare, but one of the tracks (either Presence of the Lord or Litle Wing - it's been a while) is identical to one of the late shows, only just a bit slower. The other tracks are clearly different from either of the late shows, though, and Got To Get Better In A Little While has what sure sounds like Bill Graham announcing. >QUESTION: Does anyone know what happened to the early show tapes from >the 24th? > >I find it hard to believe that something hasn't leaked out. Again, see above. It seems like there's actually quite a bit that hasn't leaked out yet... On a related note, Wolfgang's Vault has been playing some D&D tracks, but they are all from the official releases. It's unclear if they are even using their own tapes, or are simply playing tracks off of official releases and bootlegs.

This boot contained Miami studio outtakes, the earley show fragment and the Carl Radle tapes. It would be interesting to compare the early show setlists to see if this Paddington release offers anything new.

I did not find the exact quote but I remember reading it on the liner note of the Ryko BBC Radio One album [don't get wrong - not the 2 CD reissue but the single CD / 3 sided LP] It was Eric talking about him, Jeff Beck and Hendrix , saying that both him and Jeff had something special that the other one hadn't but Jimi had something even more special [not the exact words but this was the idea]. You will have to notice that when Jimi appeared on the music scene, legend said that he choose the power trio format in reference to Cream, as Eric was already established "god guitar player". In response Eric turned afro hairstyle. But the music world of Jimi was not something as easy to appreciate as Cream was. When Jimi arrived in London, at the same time a french rocker (J. Hallyday for the froggies, the others can pass on the name) was recording an album. Johnny was litteraly smashed by was he heard, get the contract to perform the french version of Hey Joe and used Jimi on his album. Back to France, Jimi still completly unknown opened for the Hallyday show but received mellow answer from the press.. One year later he was back on the french road but this time as the main act and successful.

There was very audible booing from the audience, and the band reacted to it. The band was not booed off the stage that I could see, but I'll bet they didn't come out for a long encore! Otherwise, your points about Hendrix's guitar expertise and style are consistent with my opinion (for whatever that's worth), for I've have never been a big fan of Jimie's style in general or burning a perfectly good guitar. He had some great songs to his credit, and I like to think that he would have matured into a great artist over time. Similar to SRV, Jimi died way too soon. So much music; so little time...

That is well put. That being said, my subjectivity has always lead me to listen to Clapton more than any other guitarist in history. I honestly love his playing more than anyone. I own everything from Clapton. In fact I own everything from a lot of great guitarists..... On the other hand, I own a single greatest hits album by Hendrix. I marvel at Hendrix's ability, but, subjectively, I seldom angst for more than one or two songs at a time by Jimi. Not everything Clapton does is great, but, to me, he has an almost unparalleled talent to produce phrasing that can absolutely thrill to the bone when he's right My biggest complaint with Eric are his etched-in-stone setlists. I sure wish his approach was more like the Allman Brothers at The Beacon. Lets raise a glass for all the wonderful guitar players the world has produced (both famous and local). I have always loved good music wherever it is being played and by whomever is playing it. Jimi certainly was one of the all-timers. For these ears, Eric is THE all-timer.

Dylan was not only NOT booed, the crowd can be clearly heard yelling "More". The story on this is Dylan was the headliner and the last act on. There was a strictly enforced closing time for the Festival to pacify the fine citizens of Newport. Dylan played 3 songs for just under 21 minutes with the full band, followed by 2 solo acoustic totaling about 14 minutes and then had to leave. He was backed by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band with Mike Bloomfield, who was riveting. There may have been some culture shock for the largely folkie audience BUT they did not boo Dylan. A month later at Forest Hills, he was most definitely booed. But, he didn't have Bloomers with him then, so what can I say.

I also think he's a great guitarist. I don't like to watch him too much 'cause I prefer to listen to him. When he first came to England, you know English people have a very big thing towards a spade. They really love that magic thing, the sexual thing. They all fall for that sort of thing. Everybody and his brother in England still sort of think that spades have big dicks. And Jimi came over and exploited that to the limit, the fucking tee. Everybody fell for it. Shit. --- By the way, this interview was conducted by Jann Wenner in 1967 in Sausalito during the Cream's first tour of the United States and published in the May 1968 edition of Rolling Stone. -----Original Message----- From: Leblanc, Denis (CGI) [mailto:DLeblanc3@purolator.com] Sent: 30 March 2006 19:14 To: 'slowhand@planet-torque.com' Subject: [Slowhand] re- Jimi, EC & revisionism from a 1968 interview: Rolling Stone: What do you think about Jimi Hendrix?

After a while I began to suspect it. Hav-ing gotten to know him, I found out that's not where he's at, not where he's at at all. The stuff he does on stage, when he does that he's testing the audience. He'll do a lot of things, like fool around with his tongue and play his guitar behind his back and rub it up and down his crotch. And he'll look at the audience, and if they're digging it, he won't like the audience. He'll keep on doing it, putting them on. Play less music. If they don't dig it, then he'll play straight 'cause he knows he has to. It's funny. I heard that here he came on and put on all that shit in his first set and people were just dead towards it. And in his second set he just played, which is great. He had the whole combination in England. It was just what the market wanted, a psychedelic pop star who looked freaky, and they're also still hung up about spades and the blues thing was there. So Jimi walked in, put on all the gear, and made it straight away. It was a perfect formula. Underneath it all, he's got an incredible musical talent. He is really one of the finest musicians around on the Western scene. If you just scrape away all the bull-shit he carries around you'll find a fantastically talented guy and a beautiful guitar player for his age. I just can't take it all, all the plastic things. JW: Who started the hair thing? EC: I guess Dylan started it. It's funny, 'cause it's gone into a fashionable thing in England. I did it 'cause I liked Dylan's hair. I went and had my hair curled. Then Jimi came on with curly hair, and his band did it to complete the image, and everybody else did it 'cause they dug Jimi and other people did it 'cause they dug me, I guess. It became quite a trend in England to have curly hair. --- The Clapton perm started around Feb. 1967, prior to the first trip to the USA. The earliest picture I've seen is reportedly from 19 Feb. 1967 at Granby Hall, Leicester, England. If nothing else, having different hairstyles in the old days contributes a lot to identifying periods more accurately in Eric's career.

Strange thing is someone told Clapton the same words to "Presence of the Lord" are in the Bible - wonder which version? 2. What's the downfall of Jimi Hendrix all about? The demise I'd understand if the interview was done after September 1970. 3. Eric was clearly a changed man by 1970 - Led Zeppelin was unnecessarily loud to his ears. :-) Kevin --- RY: Is it true that you want to write religious songs? EC: Yeah I do. It's not just a question of wanting to. I already have written religious songs, such as 'In the Presence of the Lord.' That's a strange song because I wrote it and then someone told me that somewhere in the scriptures it had also been written . . . the same words. I never knew that, it was an incredible co-incidence. I do find that songs of praise are one of my greatest inspirations. I constantly thank the Lord for being on the earth and for giving me the power to be able to play and entertain people. And now He's given me the power to sing and communicate, so I owe it to Him. RY: I imagine you enjoy gospel music a lot, and people like Aretha Franklin? EC: Very much. Yeah. I love it. RY: You once did a track with Aretha - 'Good to Me as I am to You' on the Lady Soul album. EC: It was a great thrill doing it. RY: Are you going to do any more work with Aretha? EC: I'd be there if she ever wanted me to do it, you can be sure of that. That track we did was one of the best things I've ever done. RY: I've always wondered what you thought of Led Zeppelin, which was the band that filled the vacuum created by the end of Cream and the downfall of Jimi Hendrix? EC: I don't really know. I've heard their records and I saw them play in Milwaukee. . . we were doing a festival together. It was very loud, unnecessarily loud. I liked some of it, I really did like some of it. But a lot of it was just too much. They over-emphasized whatever point they were making. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I should be still with regards to Dylan because I am no expert. I don't recall the venue that was shown in the documentary, but as you said, he was accompanied by a band, and I remember that everyone on stage seemed surprised by the audience reaction - the booing. I was not aware of the previous performance in Newport. I found an acoustic-Hendrix boot that I rather like, and I like to listen to his (studio) albums occasionally, but I am not a big fan in general. I wish that he hadn't died so youg so that we could see/hear how he would have evolved. Come to think of it, I can't think of ANYONE who performed better stoned than lucid. I saw a tv documentary of YES prior to a tour they did - perhaps 2001 or 02??? Nearly all the original (not sure about R.Wakeman) characters. ChrisSquire said that he thought that they were NOW in their prime, playing at their best - because of sobriety. I would agree except for the creative aspect. They were just on a 'greatest hits' tour. Nothing new that I recall. Sad. For that, we are lucky being EC fans that he continues to create, and he still has the ability to 'knock the cover off the ball' - if he chooses to do so... Speaking of Creativity, I'm liking MK - more and more. The more I hear, the more I like. Especially his lyrics and the orchestration that he does. I love to watch MK and EC playing together - such different styles that compliment one another so very well. I am on 'pins and needles' waiting for the April 25th release (in the US) of 'All the Road Running' w/Emmylou Harris. What a grand duo!

They do an awesome job on re-mastering, they are pretty darned accurate on their info, and just plain do a first-class job all around. I have just received Paddington's latest release - Derek & The Dominos - Complete Fillmore Tapes, a 10 CD set, which has all the tapes that I've ever seen from the Fillmore concerts and more. It has AUD and SBD from the early and late shows on 23 Oct 1970 and the late show on 24 Oct 1970. As I've come to expect with Paddington, the quality is awesome (I haven't had time to do a thorough A/B comparison with the Tarantura set but a brief A/B shows Paddington's mastering to be just as good, if not a little better - a slightly warmer sound that makes me think they're using tube equipment instead of solid state). I'm happy to offer two (2) complete sets of this awesome collection to people who will promise to re-offer to the Swamp Meet or SD. Because Almighty Geetarz is still on sabbatical, I will include a CDR with the artwork on it. Reply off-group with your address and a commitment to re-offer. If I don't reply, that means you were too late but I will post who will re-offer. Cheers!

However, Bob Dylan's very first public, electric performance was part of his set at the Newport Folk Festival, Newport, Rhode Island, in July 1965. He was NOT booed at this performance. He was NOT backed at this performance by the Hawks (who later became the Band), but by part of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, including Mike Bloomfield on guitar, and Al Kooper on organ (both of whom played on "Highway 61 Revisited," an album that included the song "Like A Rolling Stone"). In fact, I believe that Dylan met the Hawks around the same time, during that summer of 1965. DeltaNick -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Even to Trucks himself, his decision to tour this summer with his own band as the opening act for the Allman Brothers Band, for which he also plays guitar, while juggling guitar duties on rocker Eric Clapton's summer tour -- all at the same time -- makes his stomach churn. Factor in trying to balance responsibilities as a husband (to singer-songwriter Susan Tedeschi) and father to two small children (Trucks is only 26), and it can get downright nauseating. ``When Blake (Budney, the Derek Trucks Band's road manager) sent me my schedule for this summer, I told him immediately not to send it to me anymore,'' Trucks told The Daily Times this week, chuckling with equal parts weariness and anxiety. ``I don't want to see how crazy it looks on paper. It seems less overwhelming if I don't have it right in front of me, staring me in the face.'' In reality, such a hectic schedule should be nothing new to Trucks, who's been performing professionally since he was 9. He comes by his musical virtuosity honestly -- his uncle, Butch Trucks, is the drummer and one of the founding members of the Allman Brothers Band. The young Trucks first shared the stage with the group when he was 12. As a boy, Trucks proved his virtuosity by mastering the guitar in a few short years. He picked up the instrument for the first time when his father, a manual laborer raising a family in Jacksonville, Fla., while his more famous brother toured the world as an Allman, bought a used guitar for $5 at a yard sale. Trucks, who had grown up on the music of his uncle's band, immediately conjured the ghost of band founder Duane Allman, who died in a motorcycle wreck early in the band's career. It was only two years later that Trucks was touring the Jacksonville area with his own band, Derek and the Dominators. Emulating Duane Allman and blues great Elmore James, he began playing slide guitar, but by the time he was 14, he began to incorporate elements of Indian classical music and jazz into his repertoire. His teenage years were a dizzying combination of touring and education -- both in pursuit of a diploma and his dream. Thanks to his connections with uncle Butch, Trucks was introduced to musicians that included Buddy Guy, Bob Dylan, Col. Bruce Hampton and Willie Nelson. But it was Trucks' guitar playing that earned him a spot on the stage alongside these icons, as well as in jam sessions with groups such as Blues Traveler, Widespread Panic and Phish. Gradually, Trucks' various groups grew into the Derek Trucks Band, which today includes bassist Todd Smallie, drummer Yonrico Scott, keyboardist and flute player Kofi Burbridge and vocalist Mike Mattison, who's joined the fold for the band's most recent album, ``Songlines,'' released earlier this year. (An unofficial sixth member, percussion guru Count M'butu, took part in the ``Songlines'' sessions as well.) ``I think this is our most complete album to date,'' Trucks said. ``I think it's too early to tell, really, where it fits in the whole grand scheme of things (the Derek Trucks Band released its first album in 1997), but it's definitely a turning point for the group, and I think Mike was the missing piece. ``He's just a great guy to be around, and he's hugely talented. We have to have guys who are both, and it's great having somebody who's attitude and music fit with everyone else in the group. For a long time, we wanted to write tunes for a vocalist, but we really didn't have the right voice to write for. Now, it feels like all the pieces are there.'' ``Songlines'' has a distinctively exotic feel, thanks to M'butu's African-based percussive rhythms and the influences of world music from India and the Caribbean on Trucks' composing. Of course, it's anchored in the blues and Southern rock, which Trucks was weaned on, but the flavors combine for a rich stew that's received glowing reviews from the music press. Already a veteran, however, Trucks has learned over the years not to give a lot of thought to the ink his work receives, good or bad. ``You try to let that stuff just kind of roll off your back, because you have to focus on what you do,'' he said. ``Luckily, with two young kids running around, I don't have time to take that [stuff] serious. I have other things on my mind. Besides, you don't really put that much weight in that stuff, whether it's good or bad press, because you have to have some amount of confidence in what you do. Even if they're over the top about it or if they don't understand it at all, hopefully you know what you do and how much better that you want to get and where you actually stand. ``And of course it's always nice when you actually do release a record and the feedback is positive. It keeps you on the path of what you're doing, because when you do a record and you get that involved in something, even when it feels good to you, you're really not sure how good it is. ``But you have to take the good press with a grain of salt, too,'' he said. ``It's great to be recognized, but you don't really feel like all the sudden you're playing that much better or the band's took this huge leap. I think a lot of what's being said is a result of all the legwork of years and years of hitting the road starting to catch up, and that's a nice feeling.'' Of course, Trucks can't escape the attention he gets for being a member of his other band, the Allman Brothers. Although he's been sharing the stage with the legendary group, which rose to fame in the early 1970s and gave birth to the Southern rock genre, for almost a decade, he was asked to join in 1999. The band, founded on the sound of two incredible guitarists -- Duane Allman and co-founder Dickey Betts -- trading licks and matching each other solo-for-solo, had gone through several great ax-players over the years, and suddenly Trucks was catapulted into the position of playing alongside Betts. (Betts has since been replaced by Gov't Mule founder Warren Haynes.) It was with some measure of trepidation, Trucks said, that he approached the band about the opportunity to tour with Clapton this summer. ``It's one of those things much like when I got the offer to join the Allman Brothers -- it's just kind of a no-brainer, and I knew I had to do it,'' he said. ``It's a huge honor to be asked, because Eric has seen it all and been through it all. He's made classic records two or three times, and `Layla' (which Clapton recorded as part of Derek and the Dominoes, alongside Duane Allman) is the reason I started playing music. ``I was really surprised at how supportive everybody was. I just told them that I couldn't not do it, and they were excited. Clapton was one of those guys around before the Allman Brothers Band, so they had a huge respect for him from the beginning. If it had been anyone else, they might have been freaked out, but with him, they understood.'' Saturday's show at ``The Shed,'' on the Smoky Mountain Harley-Davidson & Buell lot in Maryville, will be one of the few times Trucks won't be pulling double duty -- this summer, the Derek Trucks Band will open for the Allman Brothers, meaning Trucks will be playing the entire night. And when the Allman Brothers aren't playing, he'll be jetting to wherever Clapton is performing to play alongside the man whom inspired English graffiti in the 1960s that read ``Clapton is God.'' Crazy or not, Trucks looks at it as the opportunity of a lifetime. ``It's insane, but it's going to be an honor to do it,'' he said. ``Playing with him and getting to hit all these places he's playing, all these venues around the world that I've always wanted to visit -- it's amazing. Plus, it's going to be family-friendly, so my wife and my kids will be able to tag along when we rehearse for three weeks in the south of France. ``My life has just been an interesting run that way. Everything just falls into place. It's overwhelming at times, but to do the Allman Brothers thing for all these years and then have Eric Clapton call you, you realize how fortunate you are.''

Then there's real, quality playing which is difficult to describe with words. It's comforting that others, some of who are not musicians, recognize this as well . For over a year I've been doing this thing, almost every Sunday evening, where I take a music dvd to a local hangout for big screen viewing. It's usually video that features guitar playing so E.C. has been on a number of times. I've been noticing the reactions of viewers to what's being played and it's obvious that many people have great respect for Eric's playing when it's more in the context of blues. 1994 to 1996 performances get much interest. I've pulled my eyes away from the screen a couple times during solos to see everyone staring intently as the guitar does it's singing. These are people of various interests and occupations. A few have been strangers who happen to walk in and become captured by what's being played and they stay longer than intended. Comments are interesting, all the way from simple "wow" stuff to very personel statements. Things have been expressed that might not have been talked about without the musical experience. I had a one-on-one conversation late one night after showing NBTB. This person is around Eric's age and told me about the loss of a son and how Eric called him when he heard about it. He had never met Eric before and I asked him how long they talked. He said an hour. Eric called this guy he didn't know and they talked about a similiar sorrow. The guy was moved again hearing his guitar and voice. Other people talk about memories and their own experiences trying to play an instrument. Some have said they've developed more appreciation of blues though it's important to know I also mix in players like Albert King and Muddy Waters. - Jim __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

All the articles I've read and reports I've heard on radio and seen on TV say there was none of the angry booing that so famously accompanied his 1965 performance, when he appeared on stage with members of Paul Butterfield's blues band at the Sunday night closing concert. The July 25, 1965, audience, the story goes, was driven to rage because their acoustic guitar troubadour had betrayed them by going electric and plugging in. The booing was so loud that, after the first three electric songs, Dylan dismissed the band and finished the set with his acoustic guitar. There's a host of other associated narratives about goings-on in the wings: Pete Seeger and other Newport board directors were so repulsed and enraged they struggled to kill the electric power; Pete was frenetically looking for an axe to chop the major power line; people were yelling, screaming, crying, beating breasts, rending garments. Griel Marcus tells some of those stories really well at the beginning of his 1998 Dylan book, Invisible Republic. Great stories. But not one of them is true. I was one of the directors of the Newport Folk Festival and I was in the wings during Dylan's Saturday night performance. Every time I heard those stories retold, I'd say, to whoever was talking,"That's not how I remember it. Nobody made a move for the power. Nobody took a swing at the sound man. It wasn't Dylan the audience was booing." After Dylan's August 3, 2002, concert occasioned all those retellings of the Legends of 1965, I decided to check both the legend and my memory: I took down the original tapes made from the stage microphones during that performance. (I have in my office at UB all of the Newport board's audiotapes, save some that Peter Yarrow borrowed and, to my knowledge, never returned, and some that were made for us by a Providence recording company that shortly thereafter went belly-up and disappeared, along with our half-inch four-track master tapes.) The entire event, from the beginning of Peter Yarrow's introduction to the beginning of Peter's introduction of the next performer, takes 37 minutes. You can hear the audience very clearly throughout. Yarrow's talk is clear, the musician's performances are clear, the audience's responses are clear. No doubt the sound of the people in the front of that great open-air theater come through more loudly than people far in the back, but there's no reason to assume that they didn't cheer and boo the same things. This is what is on the tape, what people on stage, in the wings, and throughout most of the audience heard: YARROW: One, two. Can I have some volume on this microphone? Hello. One, two. Ladies and gentlemen, at this time there's a little microphone setup to be done. Cousin Emmy's a gas, right? [laughter, applause] There's someone that's coming on to the program now, as a matter of fact, the entire program tonight was designed to be a whole group of small performances. You know I will be performing later with the group that I'm a part of, you know. [Yarrow was a member of a pop-folk group named Peter, Paul & Mary.] [light applause] And we are all limited in the time that we can be on stage for a very specific reason. The concept of the program tonight is to make a program of many, many different points of view that are together and yet without the huge expanse of the performing of any group. We will be very limited in time and so will each person who comes up. The person who's coming up now [a single note from each string of an electric guitar struck by someone apparently checking the tuning] Please don't play right now, gentlemen, for this second. Thank you. [three more guitar notes] The person who's coming up now is a person who has in a sense [two brief bursts of feedback hum] changed the face of folk music to the large American public because he has brought to it a point of view of a poet. Ladies and gentlemen, the person that's going to come up now [Yarrow pauses a long time, drawing it out; a few hoots at the pause from the audience] has a limited amount of time [very loud booing and yelling, shouts of "No, no, no"] his name is Bob [pause] Dylan [enthusiastic and sustained cheering and applause from the audience that had watched the electric band set up and which was now watching Dylan plug in his own electric guitar] [a minute or so of noises of things being moved around, levels checked, voices talking about where to set things. No hoots, jeers, calls, or yells from the audience.Minutes 0:00-7.32 on the tape] DYLAN AND GROUP: "Maggie's Farm," [applause, retuning, a voice says "Ready?" a little more tuning, Dylan says "Okay." 7:32-8:25] DYLAN AND GROUP: "Rolling Stone" 8:25-14:19 [applause, returning, murmur of musician's voice, 14:19-15:03] DYLAN AND GROUP: "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, it Takes a Train to Cry," 15:03-18:26 [applause, musician's voices saying "Let's go, man, let's go."Sounds of movement, which I take to be Dylan and the band moving off the stage, followed by audience yelling "No, no, no." 18:26-18:44] YARROW: Bobby was [booing] Yes, he will do another tune, I'm sure. We'll call him back. Would you like Bobby to sing another song? I don't know where he is. [huge applause, happy yelling. "Yes, yes, yes."] Listen, it's the fault of the, he was told that he could only do a certain period of time. [audience yells] Bobby, can you do another song, please? He's going to get his axe. [audience chants: "We want Dylan, we want Dylan."] He's coming. [audience continues chanting: "We want Dylan. We want Dylan."] He's going to get an acoustic guitar. [audience continues chanting at the same level: "We want Dylan. We want Dylan."] Bobby's coming out now. Yes, I understand, that's okay. We want Bobby, and we do. The time problem has meant that he could only do these few songs. He'll be out as soon as he gets his acoustic guitar. [audience continues chanting: "We want Dylan. We want Dylan." Then bursts into enthusiastic applause. 18:44-20:26] [bit of microphone hum, harmonica testing, Dylan says "Peter, get" then a few words I can't make out. Tunes guitar. Dylan says, "You got another one?" A bit more tuning, mumbled conversation, occasional sounds from the audience 20:52-22:42] DYLAN: "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" 22:42-27:37 [applause 27:37-28:32, someone in the audience yells "Tambourine, Bobby." Someone else yells, "Tambourine Man." Dylan says, "Okay, I'll do that." Tunes, fusses. Dylan says, "All right." 29:13] DYLAN: "Mister Tambourine Man," 29:13-35:29 [applause. Dylan says "Thank you very much." Audience calls "More, more." 35:29-35:40] YARROW: Bob Dylan, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you, Bob. Thank you. The poet, Bob Dylan. Thank you, Bob. [audience continues applauding through this.] One, two. One, two. Thank you, Bob. Ladies and gentlemen, the next group that's coming up [audience: "No! Bob!" Boos. Rhythmic clapping.] is the group from which all this music started. You know the tradition of blues in our country originally came from the African tradition and the African tradition [boos and rhythmic clapping continue] Ladies and gentlemen, Bob can't come back. The African tradition, when it was brought over originally, was brought over into the deep South, and the music became, to a large extent [boos and yells continue] Ladies and gentlemen, please be considerate of Bobby. He can't come back. Please don't make it more difficult than it is. (35:40-37:04) That's what is on the tape made on stage at Newport, Rhode Island, on the night of July 25, 1965. Three things stand out: First, you can hear a lot of individual things yelled by the audience and the general responses of the audience. Second, all the booing you can hear from the stage is in response to things Peter Yarrow said, not to things Bob Dylan did. Third, it was Peter Yarrow who first started drawing attention to what guitar Dylan was using. He twice said that he was coming back with an acoustic guitar, and he stressed it each time. I remember wondering at the time why Peter was making such a big deal of what instrument Dylan was going to use. I've heard people say that Dylan himself gave proof of how upset he was at the boos when he came back to do those encores with that acoustic guitar rather than two more electric songs with the Butterfield group. Nonsense: Dylan and the blues band did three songs together because that was all the songs they'd prepared to perform together. They hadn't prepared more because they'd been told beforehand by us Newport board members that three songs was all they'd be allowed to do. I know that at some subsequent performances Dylan's electric guitar was indeed booed by people in the audience. But I've never known if those boos were from people who were really outraged and affronted at the electric power or people who read some of the first renderings of the Legend of Newport '65 and thought that was the way they were supposed to behave to be cool. After all, by the end of that summer everybody knew Dylan had gone electric, so why go to a concert if you knew beforehand that you were going to be unhappy and your ears were going to hurt? Maybe to have a good time, screaming and yelling, the way kids do. After listening to the original recording, I can't help but wonder if that whole short period of public rage at Bob Dylan's electric guitar wasn't just one more passing fad manufactured out of some warped stories that came out of a performance that just who was really there-at the time, if not in the reconstructions of memory-thought was pretty damned fine.

Went to the Shed Saturday night and saw one hellavu guitar player. His set lasted 2:20 and only cost $10 to get in. Unbelievable!! The tones out of his guitar sounded just like Duane's when he hit the slide. Seems like a very, very shy player with not much communication with the crowd but what a working speciman. I can't even put a finger on the type of music it was but you could hear the comforts of the Allman Bros there most definitely. Off the Layla album they played "Anyday" (which was no suprise) but the encore was "Key To The Highway" and was friggin off the charts. Also in there was "Sinner's Prayer" that Clapton covered that had a most jazzy feel to it. I'll be most shocked if when the Clapton tour starts the set list won't have most of the Layla album in it.

Marlene http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,189880,00.html Billy Preston was always considered the real 'fifth Beatle.' He was drafted to play keyboards on the Beatles' later sessions and is prominently featured on their 1969 hit, "Get Back." In the early 1970s, Billy had two huge No. 1 hits of his own, "Nothing from Nothing" and "Will It Go 'Round in Circles." He played on The Concert for Bangladesh, wrote the Joe Cocker hit "You Are So Beautiful" and had one more hit, "With You I'm Born Again." Like a lot of musicians, though, Billy could not rise above drug addiction. It wreaked havoc on his health, prompting a kidney transplant. But his body rejected the kidney, forcing Preston into a life on dialysis. Three years ago, he decided to leave Los Angeles - where his demons were plentiful - for Scottsdale, Ariz. His business manager, Joyce Moore, lived there with her husband, Billy's old friend, "Soul Man" Sam Moore. Plus, Preston would get four-star medical care at the Mayo Clinic. Billy was so happy with his life in Arizona, his renewed health and his still-active career that he gave Joyce Moore his durable medical power of attorney in case something happened to him. He was quite clear about not wanting any members of his extended family or half-siblings to be in charge of his life. I know this because we spoke about it often. It was a little like "Million Dollar Baby": He did not want one of those bedside hospital scenes. This morning, a judge in Maricopa County, Ariz., is going to have to deal with the future of Billy Preston. The great musician fell into a semi-coma on Nov. 21 after being unable to resist taking drugs while receiving dialysis. Moore responded by doing what Preston instructed: getting him the best health care, with no family. Joyce Moore made sure the people who did mean something to Billy knew about his condition. I will tell you something no one knows: Eric Clapton flew at Christmastime from his home in the United Kingdom to Arizona and spent two days at Preston's side. Music is played constantly in his room. Special therapy was developed for his fingers in case he awoke from his drifting sleep. But now, like the family in "Million Dollar Baby," the relatives have descended. They want conservatorship of Preston, access to his finances and the right to move him from his top-notch health care facility back to Los Angeles. They do not seem to care about their half-brother's wishes. Two weeks ago, in Los Angeles Superior Court, they failed to tell a judge that a durable medical power of attorney existed. By omitting certain facts, Preston's sisters - represented by one of their sons - managed to achieve temporary custodianship. Earlier this week, an email went out over the Internet from Preston's half-sister Lettie, accusing Moore of hijacking her brother. I can't quote from it because of potential libel issues. Consequently, this column received a number of phone calls from people in the music world, wanting to know what was going on. This is my answer. Twice last year, I had the privilege of watching Billy Preston perform. I wrote about it here. One time was at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut. The other time was at the Atlantis Hotel in the Bahamas. On each occasion he was in his element, smiling, happy and alive. He credited his renaissance to his manager, who'd driven him three times a week at 6 a.m. to dialysis treatments. Not only that: Billy had reconnected with Sam, an old friend, and that had been a significant change for the better in his life. He was surrounded by good people, and flourished because of it. The judge in Maricopa County will have to weigh the desires of an estranged family, perhaps feeling a lot of guilt or embarrassment, with those of a patient who can no longer speak. But Billy Preston was highly communicative until the day he became ill, and was incredibly specific about leaving instructions. I can only hope his positions are honored today. Otherwise, nothing from nothing will leave nothing. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Russian date wraps up the tour which begins May 5 in France and will travel through 14 countries. This will be the first time Clapton has performed in Red Square, following in the footsteps of major artists such as Paul McCartney, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti who have all performed in the famed location, in addition to last year's historic Live 8 concert. The Red Square show will feature The Robert Cray Band as support act as well as the tour band which consists of: Eric Clapton, Guitar, along with Doyle Bramhall II and Derek Trucks also on Guitar, Chris Stainton and Tim Carmon on Keyboards, Willie Weeks on Bass, Steve Jordan on Drums, The Kick Horns: Simon Clarke, Roddy Lorimer, and Tim Sanders on Brass, and backing vocals by Michelle John and Sharon White. http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release_html_b1?release_id=121148 John From slowhandnj at comcast.net Tue Apr 4 17:00:10 2006 From: slowhandnj at comcast.net (ToeKneeF) Date: Tue Apr 4 16:59:48 2006 Subject: [Slowhand] NECC - Uploaders in Europe Being Persecuted Message-ID: <4432DE5A.7030301@comcast.net> No EC Content -- Warning to ALL fellow Slowhanders (the article comes from InfoWorld)..................T Music industry sues 2,000 uploaders in Europe IFPI is using court injunctions to have file sharers' Internet access cut off By Peter Sayer, IDG News Service April 04, 2006 The music industry unleashed a new wave of copyright lawsuits on European Internet users on Tuesday, bringing the total sued since November to around 2,000, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI). The lawsuits seek to impose fines on Internet users who have uploaded music files and made them available for others to download without the copyright holders' permission. In addition to fines, the IFPI has begun testing a new legal weapon: using court injunctions to have file sharers' Internet access cut off. Already, 130 such injunctions have been requested in France, leading to over 100 Internet users being disconnected by their ISPs (Internet service providers). A Danish court ruled in February that the same sanction can be applied there, said the IFPI, which is a trade association for the recording industry. The IFPI uses an automated search tool to pinpoint the IP (Internet Protocol) addresses of those uploading files, and then asks the relevant ISP to identify the subscriber. "It's all anonymous until the ISP gives us the personal information," said Alex Jacob, a spokesman for IFPI, adding that there is no demographic profiling of the targets for the lawsuits. "It's simply the volume of files that these people put out," he said. "They have been making large numbers of files available, hundreds or thousands. These are persistent long-term file sharers." The suits were filed in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Portugal, Sweden and Switzerland. Some were also filed in Hong Kong, the only territory outside Europe taking part in the current wave of actions, Jacob said. There will be another wave of cases at the end of August or in early September, Jacob warned. Since IFPI members turned to the courts to stop the uploading of unauthorized music files, they have sued a total of 5,500 Internet users in 18 countries. The IFPI, which claims to have won hundreds of those cases with settlements averaging ?2,633 ($3,180). Not all those cases end up in court. British Phonographic Industry (BPI), a U.K. trade association, has filed 138 lawsuits, of which 102 were settled out of court. BPI has won four cases in court, and 32 are still undecided, it said Tuesday. -- "The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues!" ...................Elizabeth Taylor From iampigpen at comcast.net Tue Apr 4 20:34:26 2006 From: iampigpen at comcast.net (Pat Toth) Date: Tue Apr 4 20:36:30 2006 Subject: [Slowhand] Re: Derek Trucks Saturday Night References: <000c01c6577b$4357cfa0$43f0d80c@Dell> Message-ID: <001e01c65848$b3c7e770$6401a8c0@ec8x1kiczpwoih> brooz Doesn't that guitar of his seem to conjure up Duane?

I'm expecting all their styles to compliment each other....even if Robert Cray gets involved on the encores.....they're all quality musicians who know when to play and when not to lay back a little. Can't see it meaning less contribution from EC...if anything it will provide the kick up the pants he sometimes needs to produce his most inspired playing. The Concert for George is a good example.....there were sometimes 4 or 5 guitarists on the same stage for that show...but the music didn't suffer for it. > > The Clapton tour outta be one helluva concert this > time around.

Everything they say about his talent is true. He played his SG for the entire show. He used NO pedals or rack effects - just plugged directly into a couple of Fender amps. Very loud Fender amps. He used no picks - just his fingers. It was very interesting to watch his right hand. He tends to pick with his thumb and first two fingers. But his right hand is constantly changing positions. At times, his little finger hooks under the highest string as if to mute it. Highlights of the show were "Greensleeves," "Soul Serenade" and "Anyday." If anyone from Camp EC is monitoring this, "Anyday" would be a great song to feature DT as "Can't Find My Way Home" previously featured Nathan East and Marcy Levy. I was able to speak to DT after the show. Nice guy. I didn't ask about the upcoming tour. Tonight, the show will be in Raleigh. To get from Greenville to Raleigh by tour bus, one would travel along Interstate 85. So sometime during the night, Derek Trucks passed our local Derrick's Truck Stop. May the circle be unbroken!

But getting back to the cane toads, there was a problem with beetles infesting sugar cane early last century. It was decided to bring the cane toads in from Hawaii (I think) to feed on these beetles.

The Hyde Park Calling festival, a two-day concert event, featuring rock legends Roger Waters and The Who, will kick off Hard Rock's Ambassadors of Rock Tour, a series of concerts spanning the globe. [snip] Pete ... Promise Not to Smash THIS Guitar! It's fitting that Pete Townshend and The Who are a major focal point of Hard Rock's 35th anniversary, as Townshend is part of Hard Rock lore. In the early 70s, the guitarist and frequent guest of Hard Rock Cafe London saw that Eric Clapton had hung his guitar to mark his favorite bar stool. A week later, Townshend sent his guitar to Hard Rock's owner Isaac Tigrett with a note saying, "Mine's as good as his, Pete." The second guitar was placed on the wall next to Clapton's and Hard Rock's iconic memorabilia collection was born. The original Clapton and Townshend guitars are currently hung where they belong -- above the bar at Hard Rock Cafe London. And, the priceless collection, which started with two guitars, now claims more than 65,000 pieces of music history. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

I'm a big fan, and a new user of this listserv. I have a question I'm sure someone has an answer for, but it's been driving me nuts! I want to buy Eric's first solo album (Eric Clapton), but I was kind of surprised that it is not in stock at either Barnes and Noble or Amazon. It made me wonder if they were releasing a new edition - it seems I'm always unlucky in buying CD's right before expanded versions appear on the market. Does anyone know about this posibility? In any case, it seems like the only CD versions are from 1990 (Polydor #825093), 1995 (Mobile Fidelity #639), and 1996 (Polygram #531819), though allmusic.com suggests a 1998 version may exist ('Serv Rite (Fresh Pic' #11003). I think the last entry is just an error, so I'm assuming that the 1996 is a remaster of an early CD version, and that it is the one to get? I guess this is limited to US pressings and not imports...

The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved. LIVE OAK, Fla. (AP) - When the Allman Brothers Band begins a two-hour set to close the Wanee Festival Saturday night, the seminal Southern rock act will be minus one of its two lead guitarists. Derek Trucks, a former child prodigy who was 11 years old when he debuted professionally with the Allmans and Bob Dylan, agreed last fall to spend a brief sabbatical with Eric Clapton. With rehearsals nearly under way for Clapton's European tour, Trucks will take this "once-in-a-lifetime chance," as he puts it, and trade licks on stage with Slowhand. Trucks' uncle, co-founding Allman Brothers drummer Butch Trucks, believes "the kid" will energize Clapton's shows. "To be honest with you, he's the one who keeps raising the bar for us," the 58-year-old Trucks said. "Now it's everything we can do to keep up with him. Derek has a sense of musicality that I've never experienced with anyone else because he takes a solo and works it and builds it and rips your damn heart out. "Every time, he does it differently. You never know what he's going to do next. He's a raving little genius." Anyone with an appreciation of rock history knows what happened the last time Clapton borrowed a guitarist from the Allmans: Derek and the Dominos had already recorded a few tracks for their 1970 opus, "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs," when Duane Allman accepted Clapton's invitation to visit Tom Dowd's Criteria Recording Studios in North Miami. Allman's wizardry on slide guitar raised Clapton's mettle significantly. The result was four-sided album that many critics consider the finest moment of Clapton's career; the classic riff Allman created to open the title track helped "Layla" become one of Clapton's signature songs. Derek Trucks, whose self-titled band will leave for Europe after playing a midnight show that follows the Allman Brothers' set Friday night in the Florida Panhandle, met Clapton through guitarist Doyle Bramhall II. Trucks' wife, blues artist Susan Tedeschi, hired Bramhall to work on her 2004 release, "Hope and Desire." Bramhall toured the U.S. with Clapton that year, and he's back for the next round, too. Trucks accepted a role in backing up Clapton on his 2005 album, "Back Home." "I think maybe Doyle turned Clapton on to some of our records because he was familiar with the stuff we've done in our band," Trucks told the San Francisco Chronicle last month. Trucks was 19 when he joined the Allman Brothers full-time seven years ago. In a band that's had 10 different lineups to record an album and tour extensively, the current incarnation began when guitarist-singer Warren Haynes returned in 2001. That was a year after keyboardist-singer Gregg Allman and the drumming duo of Butch Trucks and Jaimoe decided to dismiss the group's most prolific songwriter, founding guitarist-singer Dickey Betts. Many of Betts' songs -- "Jessica," "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" and "No One to Run With" -- remain integral parts of every tour. Haynes and Trucks work together so fluidly, however, that Gregg Allman considers the interplay as sophisticated as the groundbreaking material that Duane Allman created with Betts from 1969-71. Gregg Allman said: "The Allman Brothers Band today sounds as good as the band sounded when my brother was alive." A motorcycle wreck in 1971 in Macon, Ga., killed Duane Allman at the age of 24. Founding bassist Berry Oakley died the same way, not far from his friend's crash site, a year later. Such tragedies would destroy most bands, and the Allman Brothers' recurring bouts with substance abuse, divorce and insolvency hardly helped. As the decades rolled by, however, and the band rode a roller-coaster of public favor, it was no coincidence that Haynes' addition sparked favorable turning points in creativity and ticket sales. Each time, the Allmans returned blues standards like "Hoochie-Coochie Man" to the delight of audiences that continue to draw a surprisingly young demographic, which knows the band was a source of creativity for second- generation acts like Widespread Panic, the Dave Matthews Band and moe. Without Betts' country influences, jazz elements are more prominent because they flow more easily now from Haynes, Derek Trucks, bassist Oteil Burbridge and percussionist Marc Quinones. Betts endured more comparisons to Duane Allman than any other guitarist who played in the band. Derek Trucks, however, isn't far behind. What's interesting about Trucks is that he's confident, talented and humble enough to carry "the next great slide-guitarist" mantle with aplomb. The band does a scorching version of "Layla" with Trucks on lead, Haynes on vocals and Gregg on Bobby Whitlock's old piano part. Trucks would love to play the tune with Clapton. "Eric brought up the Duane connection, but it was more off the cuff," Trucks told The Wall Street Journal recently. "It would be a thrill to play those tunes with him, but I think once the band gets together it will kind of lead itself. I know when and where I'm supposed to be for rehearsals, and that's about it." Not surprisingly, Trucks and Haynes were eager last month when longtime band associate Kirk West suggested that the Allmans celebrate the 35th anniversary of the release of "Live from Fillmore East," cited by many critics as the best live album ever made, during the band's annual March stint at New York's Beacon Theatre. That set was true to the original album, but nothing touched Butch Trucks more than the epiphany as "Mountain Jam" opened the second show of a 14- night run. Had Duane Allman returned to the stage? "When we finished the song, I turned around and looked at Marc (Quinones), and it was just so overwhelming," Trucks said. "I was crying, tears running down my cheeks."

Buddy closed the Byron Bay Blues festival for the last time (in its current venue) last night, and I was lucky enough to be about twenty feet away when he did. One of these days I may be able to say "I saw Eric last night for his first appearance in Australia in * years" * slot in there any number 16 or greater. So those in the northern hemisphere, before you complain about any aspect of an EC concert......at least you have them frequently enough to complain about.

Most know him as a guitarist with the Allman Brothers Band. But here, with a smoking group of collaborators, he plays an incendiary, soulful, and wildly adventurous set that challenges all the accepted rock paradigms. This is the record to turn the heads of those who haven't gotten hip to Trucks' bottleneck magic. This performance is so inspired, so utterly spellbinding, it transcends the genre classifications it employs to get the music across. This is a musical first to boot: this show marks the first time the quintet recorded together. Kofi Burbridge (B-3, keys, and flute) and vocalist Mike Mattison join Trucks, drummer Yonrico Scott, and bassist Todd Smallie. Master percussionist Count M'Butu from Col. Bruce Hampton & the Aquarium Rescue Unit is also on board for the gig. The band showcases only four tunes from its catalog and all of these come from Joyful Noise, its last album. The rest is a rolling plethora of jazz, funk, soul, Eastern Sufi jams, and blues tunes by Rahsaan Roland Kirk ("Volunteered Slavery"), Wayne Shorter ("Angola"), Lightnin' Hopkins ("Feel So Bad"), Paul Pena ("Gonna Move"), Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan ("Sahib Teri Bandi"), and Curtis Mayfield ("Freddie's Dead"), among others. The jamming is tight and full of surprises, and there is no aimless guitar wankery. This is a band that plays like a single, flowing unit, where nuance, dynamic, and intuition are the order of the evening and the modus operandi for encountering and relaying this information to an audience. Trucks is its centerpiece, of course, but he understands the value and necessity of ensemble play. While there are no dogs on this two-hour smorgasbord, the standouts are the soulful rendition of "Gonna Move," the awesome medley of Khan's tunes "Sahib Teri Bandi" and "Maki Madni," the guttersnipe funk of "For My Brother," and "So Close, So Far Away." Unfortunately, Live at Georgia Theatre seems to be one of those albums created for fans only. It has nothing to do with the music or musicians, and everything to do with marketing by the conglomerates. Columbia Records, in association with iTunes, has made this fine recording an Internet-only purchase. You can download it, and you can order it in its physical form from the band's website, but you can't buy it in stores. What nonsense. The labels still don't understand how to use the Internet's potential. After all, wasn't it At Fillmore East, the Allman Brothers' third album, that put them into the mass consciousness and took them over the top? This is the right time for the Derek Trucks Band to issue a concert recording. The truth remains, however, that any way you cut it, this is a live album for the ages - it's too bad only people with credit cards get to hear it. ----------------------------------------- From: Art Arias Subject: [Slowhand] Speaking of Derek...(Trucks, that is) To: slowhand@planet-torque.com Message-ID: <20060418193432.72666.qmail@web33513.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 For all you who still believe in supporting the artist by actually buying their product, there's a good example of Derek Trucks band live on a 2CD set for only $9.98.

Fortunately for us, EC has wanted, on occasion, to play the guitar, such as during his 1993-1995 "Nothing But The Blues" period, his 2004 tours, and during last year's Cream reunion shows. So, there's still hope that Derek and Doyle may actually serve to inspire that side of EC's brain, as opposed to the other, lazier side.

Derek Trucks, a 26-year-old slide guitarist for the Allman Brothers Band = and leader of his own critically praised group, is to join Clapton=91s band = on a European tour starting on May 5 that many fans hope will rekindle some = of the Derek and the Dominos magic. The tour also marks another step in Trucks=91 evolution from an upstart = blues player who shared stages with the Allman Brothers and Bob Dylan at age = 11, to a musician critics including Rolling Stone magazine call one of the = best guitarists of his generation, with influences ranging from Indian = classical music to jazz visionary Sun Ra. Clapton, who reunited with his blues-rock band Cream last year, is = giving few clues about this tour, and Trucks says he doesn=91t expect a Derek = and the Dominos revival. But Trucks, who was named after the group and whose slide style has been likened to Allman=91s, has dusted off tunes from "Layla," for his own = band just in case. "In a way it was kind of a warm-up, or at least to get those tunes back = in my head," Trucks said of the "Layla" songs. "I think maybe we=91ll do a few tunes from that period and that record, = but it=91s an Eric Clapton tour," he said in an interview before a recent = concert. Two of the original Derek and the Dominos members -- Allman and Carl = Radle -- are dead. A third, Jim Gordon, developed schizophrenia and was = imprisoned after killing his mother in 1983. Trucks began playing a yard-sale guitar at age 9. His father, Chris, a brother of Allman Brothers drummer Butch Trucks, chaperoned him through = the rock-music world and taught him to avoid its excesses. Still youthful looking, Trucks is cherub-faced with long blond hair usually worn in a ponytail. Intent on developing his own style, he said he stopped listening to = blues guitarists for long periods and instead paid attention to singers, horn players and Indian classical music. Trucks is a meticulous player. He does not use a pick, and his slide = notes slice and shimmer through vintage amplifiers, unmodified by the effects pedals favored by many electric guitarists. On Songlines, the new CD by his group, The Derek Trucks Band, original tracks include the rocking "Revolution," and there are reggae, soul and blues standards, as well as a song based on Islamic "qawwali" devotional tunes. "I felt in some ways that this record "Songlines" was going to be a = breaking out of the band. It=91s going to turn a lot of people onto the group = that were completely unfamiliar with it, and I think having the qawwali tune is a = big part of what the band does and we wanted to showcase it that way," = Trucks said. Trucks says a key mentor was the experimental jazz-rock performer Col. = Bruce Hampton. "He turned me onto (John Coltrane=91s) "A Love Supreme," and Sun Ra and = just all these great records -- right when I needed it," Trucks said. "He = takes musicians that have natural ability and just kind of shatters everything they thought about music, and then you pick up the pieces and then you figure out that there=91s a whole new world out there." Music is a family business for Trucks, who is based in Jacksonville, Florida. Besides playing in the Allmans with his uncle, he is married to blues singer Susan Tedeschi. The keyboard player in his band, Kofi Burbridge, is brother to Allmans bassist Oteil Burbridge. "It=91s = important to have people around that you actually give a damn about," he said. The Derek Trucks Band=91s roots go back to 1994. Its first CD was in = 1997. The New York Times, which gave a generally favorable review to = "Songlines," suggested Trucks=91 talents were outpacing his bandmates=91. "If I felt = that way personally, I probably would have moved on , but I feel like there=91s a = lot of music to be made with this group," Trucks said. HARLEY DEALERSHIP Last winter the band played posh concert halls. In April, it played a = Harley Davidson dealership. "When you play in a Harley dealership you don=91t = play the Indian classical tunes or the straight-ahead jazz tunes," he joked. Trucks doesn=91t sing: He leaves that to bandmate Mike Mattison. In performance he is a figure of concentration, revealing only an = occasional grin. "When you=91re on stage and focusing ... You=91re hypercritical. You = want to be able to listen back to a tape and not just be horrified by what I hear," = he said. "There are actually times where you can actually watch yourself and the = band play, like you=91re almost stepping away from it," he said. "And then = you suddenly come back and there=91s a few wrong notes on the way back. On a = great night, you=91re a spectator too." Rolling Stone in 2003 named Trucks to its top-100 list of guitar greats. = He was the youngest to join legends including Clapton and Allman. But = Trucks acknowledges the era of iconic guitar heroes has passed. "I think = probably for the better. Not many that were held up in that status survived it," = he said.

There is an excellent article on EC in the Times Magazine today. Talks about his family life with his three daughters, how he met their mother and how he's managing to juggle his time between being a father and preparing for his world tour. How's he enjoying the fatherly bit but also how at 61 he's considerably older than any of their friends dads. It also touches on his drinking with George Best and also how he tried to contact George just before he died. It was also new to read that Eric tried to talk George out of his drinking many years back and that George had in fact ran rings round Eric's argument and in fact felt more sorry for Eric. Eric was in his early alcohol recovery at the time. Very little musical content in the article. It mentions the Back Home album in one not too encouraging sentence but otherwise is Daddy Eric and his 3 daughters.

EC's latest experiment, "Back Home," is a dismal failure, with well below half a million sales. In another 40 years, nobody will care about it, yet people will still be listening to and writing about Cream. DeltaNick -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Keith Richards once swung one at the head of a fan who rushed him on stage. And he likes to jam a lit cigarette into the ends of his. Stevie Ray Vaughan abused his "Number One" so badly once at a Toronto club he stood on it, as if to surf it. And Jimi Hendrix famously set one of his on fire during the Monterey Pop Festival. And they say nothing is as precious to a rock guitar hero as his sacred "axe." But it's true. "My guitars are my umbilical chord," Metallica's Kirk Hammett once said. "They're directly wired into my head." How valuable has the electric guitar been to rock 'n' roll? Without it, rock might never have begun rolling in the first place. We might still all be swinging to the latest Tommy Dorsey-knockoff big band, or hot-diggity-dogging it to some aw-shucks neo-Como ditty. Maybe rock music is rock music because of the electric guitar. Over the past 50 years, if you're a teenager and you want to start a rock band, what do you have to have? Right: One electric-guitar player. And who always winds up the coolest guy in the band? The guitarist, of course. Who knew popular music would take such a dramatic left turn soon after the invention of electrified, solid-body guitars in the early 1950s? The instrument's urgent new sound -- hard, crisp and loud -- was unlike anything anyone had ever heard. Its sound was not only 'futuristic,' it was dangerous. The music played on an electric guitar just had to follow suit. It did. The electric guitar's musical possibilities were quickly explored by the late '60s --a remarkably short period of time. In 1955 Chuck Berry popularized the 'barre-chord' style of rock/blues playing, which later begat the Brit Invasion power-chord songs of the mid-'60s. Those songs, in turn, gave way to the man who really turned up the volume knob, who dreamed up guitar solos that no one before --or since --has quite matched: Jimi Hendrix. He effectively removed the "and roll" from rock. Credit him with adding the "hard" too. Hendrix was the ultimate guitar hero. "Sometimes you want to give up guitar, you'll hate the guitar," Jimi once said. "But if you stick with it, you're gonna be rewarded." As long as you don't burn it or smash it. --- PROFILES OF THE 'FOUR-MOST' ELECTRIC GUITARS FENDER TELECASTER TELY The original. Was the first mass-produced solid-body electric guitar, starting in 1950. Originally had only one single-coil pickup before adding a second. Has Fender's trademark angled headstock with the string tuners all in a row, rather than the traditional three-per-side look. SOUND: "Bright, metallic cutting tone and a plangent, twangy string sound," according to Eyewitness Companions Guitar book. QUOTE: "Obviously the Fender Telecaster is a favourite, but I love Gibsons too ... They are all great, particular sounds for particular songs." -- Keith Richards FAMOUS PLAYERS: Keith Richards, Bruce Springsteen, Muddy Waters, Chrissie Hynde, Andy Summers, Albert Lee FENDER STRATOCASTER STRAT The most famous electric guitar in the world. Introduced in 1954. Has three single-coil pick-ups. The built-in tremolo bar is ideal for soloists wanting to bend or vibrate notes. SOUND: "Bright tone, ringing sustain, lively string sound, tremendous clarity," according to Eyewitness Companions Guitar book. Introduction in 1959 of a dark rosewood fingerboard, as opposed to the original light maple fingerboard, provided a warmer, smoother sound. QUOTE: "All the Strats have personalities of their own and feel completely different." -- Stevie Ray Vaughan FAMOUS PLAYERS: Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton ('70s-'90s), David Gilmour, Ritchie Blackmore, Mark Knopfler, Eddie Van Halen, Chuck Berry GIBSON LES PAUL The classic. Debuted in 1952. A much heavier, more carefully constructed and more expensive instrument than the Fenders. Amazingly, went out of vogue by the end of the '50s, but Eric Clapton and then Keith Richards revived interest in Les Pauls when they were reintroduced by Gibson in 1968. SOUND: "Has tremendous sustain and a distinctive smooth tone (owing largely to the heavy mahogany and maple woods used), with high output from the pickups that makes it ideal for overdriven and distorted guitar solos and riffs," according to Eyewitness Companions Guitar book. QUOTE: "I wanted something very dense, something that would sustain long and more pieces of wood that would be soft, sweet, for more of a mellow sound." -- Les Paul FAMOUS PLAYERS: Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton (late '60s), Ace Frehley, Duane Allman, Joe Walsh, Joe Perry, Slash GIBSON SG Debuted in 1961, a year after Gibson discontinued (for eight years) the Les Paul line. Its incurved "horns" allowed a soloist greater access to the upper-fret notes. Had a tremolo bar to match Fender's Strat, something the Les Pauls didn't have. SOUND: "Lively yet balanced tonal response, and is ideal as a stage instrument," according to Eyewitness Companions Guitar book. SOUND: "I'd always wanted an SG. I think the cutaway horns reminded me a bit of myself." -- Angus Young FAMOUS PLAYERS: Angus Young, Pete Townshend, Tony Iommi, Jerry Garcia, Gary Rossington, Frank Zappa From turbineltd at btconnect.com Mon Apr 24 11:53:39 2006 From: turbineltd at btconnect.com (John Mills) Date: Mon Apr 24 11:51:34 2006 Subject: [Slowhand] VC: D&D - The Complete Studio Sessions - Paddington Message-ID: <007101c667b7$425d1370$0300a8c0@dellws410> Offer Closed: This vine goes to Dale Kalina, USA.

By the time the Wright Brothers engine was created it wasn't recognized by the international flight assossiation as a real airplane since it was necessary to be able to took of the ground at the *ground level*, without any help of gravity, just with it's own resources. The first flight of 14 Bis was realized in Paris, in 1906 in front of thousands of witness - another point taking on account in this case: there weren't any witness with real credencials in the Wright's flight. Alberto Santos Dumont killed himself after he realized that his invention, the airplane was used as a weapon in the World War I. He never capitalized his invention, he said it was a present to the world. He was also the inventor of the wrist watch (to free his hand while he was flying) beside many other inventions we use worldwide today, which is another difference between him and the Wright Brothers - what they invented beside an airplane that couldn't take off??? It is like inventing a car that need to be pushed to start it up, it's an incomplete car for the brazilian / french pattern of technology. We're celebrating the centenary of the invention of the airplane in Brazil this year, which coincided with our first brazilian going to space, Marcos Pontes. A couple of years ago, George Bush, that wonderful guy who's trying to destroy world peace, witnessed a flight with a perfect copy of the Wright Brothers plane. It didn't work, of course. Dumont's 14 Bis was recreated in the past and flew extremely well. It will fly again this year! Bill Clinton already recognized Santos Dumont as the real inventor of the airplane while he was visiting Brazil a decade ago. In this case, the diference between Santos Dumont and the Wright Brothers is a matter of marketing. Americans knew better how to sell this "truth" in the past, so the current generation take it as a unarguable fact, but the truth doesn't change anyway. I don't have anything against US or americans (except Mr. Bushit), on the contrary - my mother is from Philadelphia - and of course the US gave so many incredible inventions to the world - sent man to the moon, created the internet and the personal computers between many other incredible stuff, but sorry guys, the airplane wasn't one of them. The Wright Bros. were important pioneers in aviation, but they weren't the real inventors of this jewel. That's not true and it's not a matter of point of view. EC related topic? He wouldn't been playing very much outside the Surrey area if it wasn't for Santos Dumont (lol) Cheers, Fabio Dwyer PS. Yeah, I know Les Paul & Leo Fender were the real inventors of solidbody guitars, it wasn't any brazilian...hehehe BTW Les or Leo??? Or it was DeltaNick in his past life??? ____________________________________ From daver at compute.com Tue Apr 25 00:24:24 2006 From: daver at compute.com (David P.

I think it just highlights how much confusion there seems to be about the dates. FWIW, I believe the dates in the Bill Graham Database are correct. So, either the date for Wonder Winterland is wrong, or it was really recorded at the Fillmore. Kind of funny when you consider Wheels of Fire's Live at the Fillmore tracks come from Winterland performances!!..........................T The Bill Graham Database shows that CREAM were at Winterland - 2/29, 3/1, 3/2, 3/8, 3/9 & 3/10. They were at the Fillmore Auditorium 3/3 & 3/7. Geetarz web site does not indicate an error for Wonder Winterland but also lists: Sunshine of Your Love boot recorded at the Fillmore on 3/3 & 3/7 Roaring Marshall Stacks some tracks from Winterland 3/3 -- "The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues!" ...................Elizabeth Taylor -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

On first reading this gives the (false) impression Clapton played on all of those tracks. Case closed.

However, when it first came out on LP, I bought a rare pressing that contained an information sleeve, that credited Eric on the 2 tracks. Marc Roberty in his "1963 - 19.." also credits the 2 tracks. However, the individual contributions to each track are incorrect - from an instrument point of view, e.g. Harmonica on "Kentucky Racehorse", among others.

I did a through A/B comparison between Wonder Winterland and the Cream ReMaster series Live At Winterland. There is no doubt in my mind that they are one and the same concert. Wonder Winterland is definitely from 10 March 1968. My son also hacked the CD and found the date 3/10/68 in it as well as the word Winterland.

While Cream at the Garden last October was riviting,I was annnoyed at eric's demeanor, as he clearly looked both bored and angry.Then I realized that he restrains any enthusiasm in almost any show I have seen,except his blues shows in the 90's. I am also tired of his choice of songs while on tour and am confounded as to why he limits his offerings. These crystallizations are inspired by Bruce Springsteen.You can see him 5 nights in a row,and he plays atleast 5 different songs each night! His shows are full of enthusiasm,and it permeates the crowd.Just saw his rehearsal for the new Seeger album in Asbury Park on Monday and it was an exhuberant performance with the crowd deliriously happy.Bruce conveys to his fans that he loves what he does,that he loves us,and gives 110% at every show. Eric only says a polite thank you after each song.If he wore a watch while performing, I wouldn't be surprised if he looked at it a few times during a show! This is not a Clapton bashing..it is simply the observations of a lifelong fan that hopes so much that this upcoming tour will dispel these negatives,and he will perform songs that we haven't heard for 20 years,that he excludes the 5 songs that none of us want to hear again,and that he seems alive,energetic, and most of all, having some fun!

BTW. inside the sleeve I also found a review, written with a typewriter in which is said : .... and since the basic material hes been kept, and that the participating musicians aren't exactly newbies, it has to be admitted that the result on this -of course- double album are never less than good . And on a track like "Eyesight to the blind", for once labourously but very impressively brought to an end by Eric Clapton, and "Acid Queen", made by Faces Wood and Jones, we can even use the predicate "excellent" ...

While Cream at the Garden last October was riviting,I was annnoyed at eric's demeanor, as he clearly looked both bored and angry.Then I realized that he restrains any enthusiasm in almost any show I have seen,except his blues shows in the 90's. I am also tired of his choice of songs while on tour and am confounded as to why he limits his offerings. These crystallizations are inspired by Bruce Springsteen.You can see him 5 nights in a row,and he plays atleast 5 different songs each night! His shows are full of enthusiasm,and it permeates the crowd.Just saw his rehearsal for the new Seeger album in Asbury Park on Monday and it was an exhuberant performance with the crowd deliriously happy.Bruce conveys to his fans that he loves what he does,that he loves us,and gives 110% at every show. Eric only says a polite thank you after each song.If he wore a watch while performing, I wouldn't be surprised if he looked at it a few times during a show! This is not a Clapton bashing..it is simply the observations of a lifelong fan that hopes so much that this upcoming tour will dispel these negatives,and he will perform songs that we haven't heard for 20 years,that he excludes the 5 songs that none of us want to hear again,and that he seems alive,energetic, and most of all, having some fun!

Now, as he tells Jaan Uhelszki, a new wife and a new family have finally brought him contentment. He's tried drinking, taking drugs, taking his best friend's wife and even playing cricket. But now that he's a happily married teetotaller who hung up his cricket bat and pads for the final time last summer, Eric Clapton has found a new way of spending spare time. "I've taken up shooting. I'm a country boy so it was inevitable really that I would start shooting partridge and pheasant. Politically it can't last much longer. They're trying to do away with fox hunting and shooting birds will come next. I'm trying to get it in before they ban it." This new passion is not as unlikely as it may sound. In the early Nineties, after conquering addictions to drugs and alcohol, Clapton transferred the compulsive side of his personality to rod and line, even choosing his concert venues by their angling potential. "We did a fishing tour about 12 years ago, when we would only play places near water all across America," he confesses with a wry smile. "I was obsessed with trout fishing and I used to go every single day. I still do fish, and when the fishing season stops, the shooting season starts, so it kind of works out for me." Not so long ago, there would have been nothing remarkable about a wealthy Englishman ? Clapton is worth an estimated ?120 million ? indulging a love of field sports. Nor would his 50 per cent stake in the Piccadilly-based country outfitters Cordings, specialists in hunting, shooting and fishing attire, be anything other than a rich man's fancy. But in these politically correct days, when rock stars who rebelled against the old status quo dare not deviate from the new one, Clapton is taking a considerable PR risk in admitting that he kills birds and fish. But, he insists, "Anything I catch or shoot, I eat, so I justify it in that way." Clapton will have little time to spare for shooting or fishing over the next few months. The 58-year-old guitarist has recently released a retrospective collection, Best of Ballads. In May, he will return to the Royal Albert Hall for a series of concerts that will coincide with an album of new material. The lyrics were written at his farm near Aix-en-Provence. "I'm always trying to go deeper than before," Clapton says, "and as I get older, I have to push harder and harder to do that. So I'm here for a week on my own doing that very thing. I'm trying to write lyrics where I have to reveal to myself, first of all, what the hell is going on in my life, emotionally, with my relationships, with everything. And it's incredibly hard work because I find it really difficult to connect with myself, to check what's going on. "I go for drives. And on each drive, I get maybe one line. I'll go back home and write it down, and then assemble it as the days go by. I'm not a natural writer so I have to work really, really hard just to not turn on the TV, or eat chocolate all the time. I don't mind admitting that I pray for help, and most of the time I seem to get the help I need." There is another, happier, reason why Clapton has to be by himself to work on his songs: it's the only place where, as one of the increasing band of fiftysomething men with new, young families, he can get some peace and quiet. "I have two really young girls, Julie Rose and Ella May, and they don't let me have any time for this. By the time I've tucked them up in bed, I'm dead, so I can't really work. I've had to come out here to isolate myself. Now I want to draw on this new experience and the way that it is affecting my life. Having this new family has been astonishing, and as much as it hasn't allowed me much time for creative work, it's where my creative impulses have got to come from." Clapton's present contentment has come after a lifetime of emotional trauma. As he remarked three years ago, "I had what people would now call a 'dysfunctional' family. I was raised to believe that my grandmother and my grandfather were my mother and father. I was illegitimate, so they tried to cover up the mess by adopting me. Then I discovered the truth and realised that the person I thought was my brother was actually my uncle, my mother and father were actually my grandparents and the person who I thought was my sister was, in actual fact, my mother." In his twenties, having made his guitar-hero reputation with the Yardbirds, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and Cream, he fell in love with Patti Boyd, the wife of his closest friend, George Harrison. After much agonising, he married Boyd, who inspired two of his most famous songs, Layla and Wonderful Tonight. Years of addiction and infidelity followed. Clapton fathered a daughter, Ruth, in 1985, after an affair with Yvonne Kelly, a recording-studio executive. His marriage finally collapsed when Clapton began another affair, this time with an Italian TV presenter, Lori del Santo. In August 1986, the couple had a son, Conor. Del Santo says Clapton found it almost impossible to adjust to fatherhood (she even claimed that his manager tried to persuade her to end the pregnancy). Finally, on March 19, 1991, Clapton met Lori and Conor in New York and took his little boy to the circus, their first outing together. Afterwards, in Lori's words, "Eric was so happy and said he wanted to look after Conor, cook for him and wash him all by himself. He had finally discovered what it meant to be a father." The next day, just as he was getting ready to meet Lori and Conor, Clapton received a horrifying message. Conor had died after falling from a window of the building where he and Lori were staying. The little boy was buried in the churchyard of St Mary Magdalen Church, Ripley, Surrey, Clapton's home village. Devastated, he responded by turning his grief into music. He wrote the beautiful Tears in Heaven, a worldwide hit that was followed by the massively successful Unplugged album and six Grammy Awards. But if his career flourished as never before ? by the mid-Nineties, Clapton was earning ?15 million a year ? personal happiness eluded him until 1999. He was in Los Angeles, working on an album with the blues guitarist BB King, when he met a 23-year-old graphic artist, Melia McEnery, at a party. Newly arrived from her family home in Ohio, Melia ? who has an Irish-Korean family background ? had no idea who Clapton was, a fact that delighted him. The couple were married in January 2002, at St Mary Magdalen, Ripley. Close friends and relations had been invited to the church to celebrate the joint christening of Clapton's older daughter, Ruth, and his new arrival Julie Rose. Only when that ceremony was finished did the vicar announce, "We have two people here who want to get married." It was a typically low-key gesture from a man who is famously averse to publicity and self-promotion. "My work requires that I be honest and write from direct personal experience," he says. "It also requires that I maintain a private life so I can reflect on those things. That would be impossible if I were living a celebrity lifestyle." When Clapton does venture out, he does so without an entourage. "It's easy to walk down the street without being harassed. It's the way you dress, the way you walk. If I try to make eye contact with people, then they will look back and there may be a spark of recognition, maybe not. But if I don't deliberately try to make eye contact, if I'm looking in the windows or looking at the ground, no-one looks at me." Of course, like any star, he doesn't want to go totally unrecognised. "Sometimes people come up to you and share their reminiscences about your music. That's fine and I'm used to it now, but the problem is that I almost expect everyone to know my story. Then you bump into someone who doesn't know who the hell you are! And that happens quite a lot, especially when I meet younger people. Then my ego takes a severe beating. But that's good too, you know." This modesty is as English as Clapton's love of cricket. His entire career has been inspired by a passion for American rock, blues and soul and he enjoys enormous, enduring popularity on the far side of the Atlantic. Although he has always lived in his home country, he's now wondering whether he should move to the USA. "I've given it a lot of thought. I have an American wife and she's had to uproot herself to live in England, something I often take for granted. But every now and then I think, 'My God, what must it be like for her?' There's such a huge cultural difference. I think it might be easier for me to live in America than it is for her to live in England, funnily enough. "Probably because I was influenced by American music, I feel at home there. Some people actually think I'm American because I sing with an American accent. I've had to sign autographs for people sometimes who were surprised that I was English when they heard me speak. So it does occur to me more and more that maybe I could move." Meanwhile, he has another kind of journey to prepare ? his forthcoming world tour. Naturally, he'll spend weeks rehearsing with his band. But, less predictably, he'll also be dousing his guitar-playing fingers in witch hazel. As Clapton explains, "If I have long stretches when I haven't played much, I have to go through a whole callus-building process, which gets really painful. I've checked with other guitar players and they never have that problem. I think it's a metabolic thing. I develop these calluses and I have to try to preserve them, so my left hand has to stay out of contact with hot water. It's a nightmare." Clapton seems calmer, more at ease with himself than ever before. He usually performs within a musical genre ? the blues ? that values experience and worldly wisdom more highly than callow youth. So what, finally, does he regard as his greatest strength? He laughs: "Phew, I don't know! I suppose my ability to examine myself, to examine my motives, the fact that I know who I am now. And the strength in that is that I'm OK with myself. I like myself enough to just get on. Self- acceptance, that's it." http://tinyurl.com/gocmx From jeflisa1 at comcast.net Mon May 1 10:56:13 2006 From: jeflisa1 at comcast.net (jeflisa1@comcast.net) Date: Mon May 1 10:56:16 2006 Subject: [Slowhand] Bobby Whitlock Tonight!

Since the announcement of this tour, I have anxiously awaited the setlist. I cannot hide my anguish and dismay. Following the excellent Cream shows, and in spite of EC?s apparent dissatisfaction with them, I really expected a rejuvenated Clapton for the upcoming tour. The new band seemed to be a harbinger of good things to come. Now, we hear that Derek Trucks is a short-timer, and probably won?t even be playing on the US shows; and, that the setlist is a weak rehash of the past 10 years of mediocrity. I have not missed an EC tour in over 25 years. In recent tours, I have attended an average of 6 shows per tour. To see Clapton I have traveled from Illinois to London, Paris, Tokyo, NYC, Chicago, LA, Atlanta, Dallas, Cleveland, Moline, Indianapolis, Houston, St. Louis ? whew, the list is much longer but needs to stop to conserve webspace. At this time, I must beg off. I will not pay the $150+ per ticket to see another weak show. EC can do so much better. When he decides to put the effort into the playing that suits his skill level, I will promptly return. This tour has begun with an extremely and embarrassingly weak set of replayed pop tunes. These songs are not the reason that many years ago I decided I wanted to get to know the music of Eric Clapton. It has been a wonderful time. But, it now appears that the good times may have come to a weak halt. John Whitney Chatham, Illinois USA -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

While I whole heartedly agree with you regarding Wonderful Tonight and possibly also Layla / Cocaine, I'm almost tempted to suggest you have one more look at the set list. He's added Anyday and I'm Yours from the Dominos years (and Nobody knows you, even though he's played this not that many years ago). He has changed it up! He's dropped Sunshine, Badge and Hoochi Coochi Man - it's many years since those songs were absent from any EC set list. And Pretending, Everybody Ought to Make a Change and Motherless Children are rare to say the least. I'm absolutely satisfied! Can't wait to see this band. ks _________________________________________________________________ MSN Messenger overalt med WebMessenger http://webmessenger.msn.com/?mkt=nb-no - Den korteste veien mellom deg og dine venner From downtownstreets at hotmail.com Sat May 6 15:01:11 2006 From: downtownstreets at hotmail.com (Fabio Dwyer) Date: Sat May 6 15:01:15 2006 Subject: [Slowhand] AMAZING HOW...

Why don't you focus on the great new additions, like I'm am yours, Anyday, some very good come backs, as Everybody oughta make a change, After Midnight, Running on Faith and Motherless Children, all the Robert J. songs, even two VERY GOOD additions IMO from the new record- Lost and Found is a great contemporary blues song and Back Home which is a beautiful ballad. Got to get Better, you're already TIRED of that??? C'mon YOU GUYS??? It seems as if some people in this list go to a new EC concert, don't pay any atention to the first 3/4 of the concert, just to wait for "that" three songs that are clearly kept in the repertoire to please the average fans (of course it's not for "us" the ones who goes to 5 or 6 or more EC concerts every year). Just three crowd pleasers? Bravo, Eric! And I'll never get tired to hear you playing the eletric Layla, my favorite song all time! Thank you Eric! Great set list! It's a shame I can't catch this tour, I don't think it will come to Brazil again... You can yell at me, call me fanatic, groupie, whatever. I don't care, I would like to congratulate Eric for this very good set list, and thanks him again for not retiring as promised before. I'm eager to hear a new bootleg with this new great band. Cheers for the Clapton fans. To the others, the Bruce "new-set-list-everyday" Springsteen List is waiting for you, who knows if someday Bruce will learn how to play guitar as Eric...

Message-ID: <008a01c67144$4fc408c0$6401a8c0@ec8x1kiczpwoih> Hey, You're right! Unbelievable that Derek is doing so much work this summer. Off day On Eric's tour and he's playing at the Mean Fiddler. Off day in Paris and he's playing again with his band at another club. Then a break from the Clapton tour in June and he's playing with his band and half the time he's the warm up act for the ABB. And you know he's playing with them during their set as well. Then back to the Clapton tour and when that wraps up in Red Square for the European tour Derek is finishing off the summer with his band. I'm telling you folks you need to go see him this summer. http://www.derektrucks.com/tour_info.html Betcha he plays the States with EC. (and by the way......just how short IS Doyle Bramhall????)

Without even listening to how good the band were and what the set was really like, after 1 night, people are ready to dismiss this new tour. Jeesh, what does it take to keep you doubting Norah's happy? Let me tell you right now that after being lucky enough to get to see last nights opening date, contrary to some people's beliefs, Eric is alive and well and playing his bloody socks off! This is not a casual fan talking but a fully paid up member of the 'saddo' contingent who has been along for the ride on tour with Eric since 1974 and an admirer of his music since 1966. Sure, I've been through the drunken period of the 70's and the 'dark days' of the early 80's with his ponderous UK band, but I can honestly say that he is still playing with fire and passion and irrespective of there being 3 guitarists, he let it be known through his playing that he is STILL the 'guvnor'. By now you all know the set-list and from song 1 he and the band played with the passion and energy that was evident in 2004 after a couple of so-so years of touring. He was generous to both Derek and Doyle when he let them loose but ALWAYS finished the song with a great solo. I even enjoyed the songs from the new album with a very honorable mention to 'Lost and Found'. He started with 'Pretending', to my mind his best opening track, ever. And we then all knew it was going to be a great show. 'Got to get better', 'Anyday' and 'I am Yours' were all played with respect to the original and moved me with the playing. 'Sheriff'(as always) was an excellent vehicle for a fantastic solo. 'Little Queen of Spades' was the replacemnt slow blues for 'Stormy' or 'Have you Ever...' and did not dissapoint. 'Running on Faith' (although played whilst he was sitting down) was a real builder. 'After Midnight' was reminiscent of the original version from his first solo album (horns et al), whilst 'Everybody must Change' and 'Motherless Children' were great opportunities for a slide fest (again, when it came to the crunch, Eric let everybody know who the boss was). 'Wonderful Tonight' was mercifully short but not unpleasant and 'Cocaine' was a real rocker-excellent solos all round. 'Layla' was, as anticipated, a time for Derek to skillfully craft a slide frenzy on the Coda. 'Crossroads' was no longer a reggaefied excuse for a blues standard but really, really bounced along the way it should have. Robert Johnson would not be spinning like a top in his grave tonight. And the band? well, to be truthfull, I think Tim on 2nd keys was superflous and if it really came down to it, so was Doyle-Derek slotted in real fine. But if Derek does not tour on the US leg, then he's a good man to have along. He seems to have calmed down after his first EC tour and plays at a sensible volume now.The rhythm section was excellent with Steve and Willie changing the whole feel-to the better. The girls on vocals performed admirably and to you fashion fiends out there, they dressed sensibly as well! The Kickhorns did their thing well and went off stage when not needed-which was quite often and finally Chris was superb and got standing ovations from the enthusiastic French audience (why does EC always play well in France?). Do not miss this tour because you think you've heard it all before-you haven't. I hear they also rehearsed 'Why does Love...' and a few others so who knows what changes will come. And with Robert Cray being the support, there's going to be some oppotunities for a bit of jamming at the end. Marks out of 10? Well, don't laugh, but to be honest, I'd give it a 10. He's made drastic changes with the set list and even the old standards have been revamped. He seemed to be having fun and finally, as my yardstick-I enjoyed it. And trust me, if he ever plays substandard, I am vociferous in my criticism. You'll enjoy this tour, trust me.

It's always refreshing to hear how people like John know how bad and awaful that gig in France was, although I presume mr. Whitney wasn't exactly wasn't there :). I'm sure seeing all those Clapton concerts for years gives mr. John the authority to condemn all these future gigd we're about to see. John knows they must be bad!!! I was going to London for some Clapton Royal Albert Hall concerts, but after John Whitney from USA has declared them as rubbish I've decided to stay away .

Ok he played a bunch of classic already heard in 1998/2001/2004 but it is only 4 out of 19 after all. So what? They were greatly performed, the addition of Derek pairing with Doyle is fantastic. And when Derek played his part on Layla it was just unbelivable. It is understandable for the over 20 years followers that they would hear something else but the vast majority of the attendance could not have that chance. Not that much stuff from Back Home (3 tracks) that leaved room for great tunes from the Derek and the Dominos era and made that night definitively enjoyable. Impatient to attend it at RAH.

This will be the 3rd time I am travelling across the globe to see EC as he hasn't visited Australia for more than a decade, possibly 15 years. I saw a San Fran (2004) and Kansas City (2001) show but this time it is a 34 hour haul each way and I will only be in London for 2 days and 3 nights. To hear the negative reviews (which I probably shouldn't have looked at) is detracting from the incredible gift that has been given to me by people who live in South Africa (my birth country), Australia (my resident country), the US, the UK, East Timor and Ghana.

No one on the list is entitled to express an opinion, because our opinions detract from your enjoyment of the concert? Where is that coming from? I'm glad you're going to the concerts and I hope you enjoy them. I'm going to RAH myself (from California) for the 19th and 22nd, and I'm sure I'll enjoy them too (well, maybe not Wonderful Tonight). But I don't get the idea that being a true Clapton fan requires one to passively accept whatever is dished up and pretend that we're living in the best of all possible worlds. Sure, I'll enjoy I Shot the Sheriff (again) and Got to Get Better (again) and probably even Layla and Cocaine (again and again and again) - but what's wrong with wanting to hear something new and different every once in a while? Sure there are some unusual things on this list, and that's great, but as I said in my first "bash" it's a mixed bag. There was an opportunity, with this new band, to really shake it up and break out of the box, and that opportunity wasn't seized. > > From: "Jenny Katz" > To: > Date: Sun, 7 May 2006 10:23:53 +1000 > Subject: [Slowhand] (no subject) > > I am so dismayed at the set-list bashing that is > emerging on this tour.

Guitar on this is mostly Derek's slide, of course, and it sounds fantastic. EC's and Doyle's vocals are also great. From audience member reviews, I read that on other songs EC definitely showed who was boss on guitar. Marlene -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

JK: What constitutes a true Clapton fan? It's a matter of degrees (I say). I agree you don't have to like everything to be a fan - I didn't particularly find the Back Home album appealing, neither do I particularly like some of his personal favourites, however, the odds are definitely in favour and I just never complain - there is too much to be thankful for. Again, he is subject to the common human incapacities that prevail in us all and that old clich? of " ..but you cannot please all the people all the time" is pertinent. BTW there is nothing wrong with wanting to hear something new, but it doesn't make the old unpalatable - hopefully he sometimes performs songs for his own pleasure rather than just ours and by your own admission, you will enjoy .. again and again and again!

Since I don't believe he is dragging horses around with him on his world tour, how about us using the right word..........."staples"..............sorry, had to vent..........As for the criticism before seeing the show or hearing trusted reviewers' opinions. People on this list worked themselves into a lather (another horse reference) and ASSUMED that the set list would be D&TD "heavy" because of the band's lineup. Eric's camp never led us down that path, we did it to ourselves. When the tour kicks off and our "dream" set list is not there, we rain down all sorts of vitriol on the man who had nothing to do with setting expectations. Could the set list be overhauled? YES. Will it remain static? WE DON'T KNOW. Will changes be made along the way? PROBABLY, as he and the band see what works and what doesn't work for them. The staples are there because that is what the "casual" fan expects, his greatest hits, instantly recognizable material. But I do see some changes from past tours and the songs themselves are great songs. As I am so fond of telling my wife, who does not understand why 1 or 2 live boots from a tour isn't sufficient, EVERY NIGHT IS DIFFERENT. His approach to these songs will be even more fresh since he has Doyle and Derek on board along with a new rhythm section. But the bottom line is, after such a long and varied career, we, each of us, have our own favorites from his repertoire. He's not going to be able to please all of us.........so he doesn't try, I have my favorites (how about more material from Another Ticket?) and would be very pleasantly surprised if he performed them, but as long as he plays his ass off, I KNOW I will be entertained.....................T -- "The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues!" ...................Elizabeth Taylor From Dale.Kalina at rrd.com Tue May 9 10:15:09 2006 From: Dale.Kalina at rrd.com (Dale.Kalina@rrd.com) Date: Tue May 9 10:15:15 2006 Subject: [Slowhand] VC: Layla and Other Assorted Love Sessions: The Complete Studio Sessions for Layla and Unreleased 2nd Album Message-ID: Look for Jay Vargas in Florida to re-offer.

I don't mind the choices, like I said, even WT, Cocaine, Layla. Heck those are his war horses, and I'm curious to know if they sound any different with this new band. How is Steve Jordan on the skins? Willie Weeks on bass?

They are FULL of meaning for others, especially the two he wrote for Patty. No matter what (or who) he has done since then, his current wife included, Patty's influence on him was HUGE. "Layla" and "WT" brought him much fame and fortune. Lots of couples consider WT to be "their" song. Personally, I never get tired of hearing the electric version of "Layla"; there's so much passion and longing in that tune. And "Cocaine" is SO expected, and a great jam song. Listen to any classic rock station (especially the corporate ones), and "Cocaine" is always one of the 2 or 3 Clapton tunes they play. EC's catalogue of songs is vast, and to pick just a dozen or so to play has got to be a daunting task. I can't imagine playing songs you DON'T like, night after night for months. Why torture yourself? Good grief, even with a setlist that doesn't change, each concert is different. He has good nights and bad nights, and as we've seen by the Slowhander reviews from other tours, most are pleased with the results. So quitcherbitchin' until AFTER the concert. :-) JMHO, Debby J. ________________________________ From: Richard Millard [mailto:millard_richard@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2006 10:55 AM To: slowhand@planet-torque.com Subject: [Slowhand] New Setlist: Not an Improvement Having looked at the Glasgow setlist, I have to say that IMHO things are going in the wrong direction.

There are some new songs in the mix that we have not heard live before and that, to me, is really what matters. While there will always be the, "standards" as there should be, it is great to see Eric every few years with some new content from the past live. I also share someone's simple yet important comment that it is great to see him touring, period. Let's be cognizant of how fortunate we are on that front !

Delta Nick, yes the lover, collector of anything associated with Wonderful Tonight has made the big commitment. I have heard from a reliable source that DN, one of the most revered poster's in the history of the SD has commissioned none other than the boys from Brokeback Records to produce an exclusive CD which will combine each version of Wonderful Tonight that will be played at the upcoming Albert Hall shows.

If Anyday is not played again on that tour (or at least not performed at a show I will attend, broadcasted or officialy released) I can say it was worth the effort regardless of the rest of the setlist. [I don't mind because I still enjoy WT short version, Cocaine with extending solo and Layla with "Deruane slide guitar"]. By the way Le Cannet was 1h58 long full of music. You have to add between 5 to 10 minutes [chronograph was stopped while no music occured] for the waiting time liking the main set to encore. Half show ( in fact the song played right after first hour was over) was After Midnight performed toward 21h30. Show ended toward 22h30 and I still have not reset my watch. -------------- ALICE HAUT DEBIT : TRIPLE PLAY A 29,95 EUR/MOIS -------------- D?couvrez vite ALICEBOX : avec le modem WIFI, profitez de l'ADSL, de la TELEPHONIE et en exclusivit? de la TELEVISION !

But did not play any accoustic and even left the stage at least on one track [Back Home?]. Eric changed of guitars between tracks as usual (and broke a string as soon as on the opening number, don't remember if it was before of after the solo but I think it was before). Steve Jordan changed many times of snare drum. The backing singers were well named because they really stood on the left back of the band (as for the inaudible horn section but on right aisle).

Message-ID: <000801c6739b$a7af0c70$4999c551@ollionkone> Hi all, Although I have heard Wonderful Tonight about 1000 times too many and sometimes even Layla gets on my nerves, I don't see how it reduces Eric Clapton's artistic status to play those two songs, that most people associate with him. They are part of his musical legacy and he has said on any occasions, that he is very proud of those songs and enjoys still playing them. Cocaine is a crowd pleaser and Clapton says it's fun to play. Who am I to accuse EC for playing something he likes? And who is Richard Millard to declare, that Clapton doesn't care for the music he plays? :) How on earth does Richard Millard know what music Eric Clapton cares for? ;) Could he be just quessing? I'm sure we all know better!! And as far as I know mr. Clapton really cares for that muswic he's playing live. That is what makes him one of the best performers and musicians I'veever seen!

What a great night! Yes, there were many of the "old favourites" but for me they still sounded fresh because of the band. Being a relative new devotee to Clapton's music it was great to hear so many of his back catalogue for the very first time and some superb arrangements. In parts there were almost medleys with the briefest of pauses prior to launching into another song. It worked well for me and kept the pace moving well. For those of you yet to see a concertin this tour, you're in for a treat. In many ways, the highlights for me after Eric's solos was the amazing guitar work of Derek Trucks. Gees, this guy can play! I was absolutely spellbound watching him on the big screen. Overall, the band were superb although I thought the sound engineer got it wrong. Robert Cray opened the night with a good 45 minute set. Sadly I didn't know any of his songs and was disappointed that they didn't do much for me. Again I think the sound played a part as the vocal was too low in the mix from where I was sat (ticket arranged via EC Access and certainly not the best in the venue). It's testament to Robert that the stadium was almost full for his set. How many opening acts can you say that about. The sound was better for EC but overall the lead vocal was drowned by the music. Overall, a great concert. A very mixed bag and one that I enjoyed tremedously. I'm off to RAH next week to see EC again. Hope to see some of you then. By the way, for anyone interested in gear, EC seemed to be using the same amp set up he used at RAH for Cream. His main guitar was a pewter coloured strat although he used two black strats too, his usual Martin and the black Martin.

I thought this was a fun idea because it wasn't "name the 50 greatest songs of all time". It was simply, name the 50 songs that you really like for whatever reason.......I found this to be an interesting challenge. Being a life-long collector, and a huge blues and straight-ahead, raw rock & roll afficinado, I immediately eliminated that music from consideration, because I love so many obscure bands and songs. Instead, I concentrated on more mainstream music that I've loved throughout the years. This was our starting point. So starting from that standpoint, it was still extremely difficult to narrow down to 50 songs. The Clapton songs that made my top 50 were; 1) Thats The Way God Planned It "Studio" 3) Crossroads "Live" 4) Go Back Home "Studio" 6) Presence Of The Lord "Live" 7) Holy Mother "Live" 8) While My Guitar Gently Weeps "Live with George Harrison" 12) Sunshine Of Your Love "Studio" 13) Eyesight To The Blind "Studio" 16) Layla "Studio" - there are so many great live versions that I just opted to go studio 17) Spoonful "Studio" 18) Why Does Love Have To Be So Sad "Live" (from the original D&D double live album) 20) Badge "Studio" 22) Born Under A Bad Sign "Studio" 24) White Room "Studio" 25) Love Minus Zero, No Limit "Live" 32) My Back Pages "Live" 33) Tales Of Brave Ulysses - "Studio" 45) I Think I Love You Too Much - "Live" So 18 Clapton songs made my top 50 of all-time............ My complete top 50 was the following: 1) That's the Way God Planned It - Clapton, Billy Preston, George Harrison, Ginger Baker 2) Thunder Road - "Live" from the No Nukes Show (IMHO, one of the greatest songs ever penned....lyrically) 3) Crossroads - Cream Wheels of Fire 4) Go Back Home - Steven Stills, Eric Clapton 5) Politican - West, Bruce & Laing "Live" 6) Presence Of The Lord - Rainbow Concert with Pete Townsend, Clapton, Steve Winwood, Ron Wood, Jim Capaldi etc. 7) Holy Mother - Live from Birmngham, 1986 8) Imagine - Live (from super-rare live show......sounds like Lennon is actually in the room with you...extremely special version) 9) While My Guitar Gently Weeps - live with Clapton from Prince's Trust 1987 10) Let It Be - Beatles with noisy guitar solo by Harrison 11) Dream Of Milk and Honey - "Live' - Leslie West, Felix Pappalardi, Corky Laing, Steve Knight (Mountain) 12) Sunshine Of Your Love - Cream 13) Eyesight To The Blind - Clapton, Entwhistle, Kenny Jones 14) Blue Sky - Allman Brothers 15) Jessica - Allman Brothers 16) Layla - Derek and the Dominoes 17) Spoonful - Cream Studio 18) Why Does Love Have To Be So Sad - Derek and the Dominoes "Live' 19) Jersey Girl - Springsteen "Live" 20) Badge - Cream Studio 21) Theme From An Imaginary Western - Mountain Studio 22) Little Wing - Clapton, David Sanborn, Sheryl Crow "Live" 23) Born Under A Bad Sign - Cream Studio 24) How Do You Sleep - John Lennon 25) White Room - Cream Studio 26) Love Minus Zero, No Limit - Clapton Live 27) Ramblin Man - Allman Brother 28) Instant Karma - John Lennon 29) Maybe I'm Amazed - Paul McCartney Studio 30) If I Should Fall Behind - Springsteen and band live in the studio (so good... its stunning) 31) Nantucket Sleighride - Mountain Studio 32) Hotel California - Eagles Studio 33) My Back Pages - Clapton, Petty, Neil Young, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roger McGuinn, Booker T & MG's Live 34) Tales Of Brave Ulysses - Cream Studio 35) I Found Out - John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Jim Keltner 36) Lonesome Town - McCartney, David Gilmour, Jon Lord Live (Incredible Vocals) 37) Couldn't Get It Right - Climax Blues Band Studio 38) New York City - John Lennon with Plastic Ono Band 39) Gettin' Out - J. Geils Blues Band long version Studio 40) Roadhouse Blues - Doors Live 41) Shake Ma Thing - Leslie West, Jack Bruce, Corky Laing Studio 42) Lady - Jeff Beck, Tim Bogart, Carmine Appice 43) One Way Out - Allman Brothers 44) Dear Mr. Fantasy - Steve Winwood, Traffic 45) I Think I Love You Too Much - Clapton, Knopfler Live 46) Look At You, Look At Me - Dave Mason Studio 47) Turn The Page - Bob Seger Live 48) Love Like A Man - Ten Years After - Long Version 49) One Last Cold Kiss - Leslie West, Felix Pappalardi, Corky Laing, Steve Knight, - Mountain Studio 50) Dyin' To Live - Edgar Winter Band In the process, my brother introduced me to a Great Southern (Dickey Betts) song called Bougainvilla. I was blown away by this song. I can't believe I never noticed it. Anyway, my top 50 was just what I came up with in few days after being challenged to do so. It in no way insinuates "greatest" songs. Its just shit I like to listen to. Have any of you ever done this exercise? I thought it was challenging and fun....... I'll burn my top 50 for the fist two who might show interest. Probably.....nobody will.....lol......and most of you will have all this stuff already..... this kind of crap is so subjective.....I don't normally give into it.....but my brother insisted in a good way......
