[Slowhand] EC - GuitarLegends Magazine

[Bruce Wilson]

Thanks for the heads up!  Found it yesterday at Barnes&Noble along with a 'collector's issue' Classic Rock Presents Blues Rock (from London) covering the "British Blues Rock Boom!"  Many excellent color photos; separate articles on EC, Cream, Yardbirds, & other famous and more obscure performers; 10 blues albums that shaped the British blues; the inevitable top 30 blues rock albums, including #1 Beano, #4 Fresh Cream, #6 Five Live Yardbirds, and (whut?) #23 Blind Faith; American blues rockers; and last but probably not least, a 'free' DVD with exclusive new interviews.  I have not watched the DVD yet, but it is "Issued in conjunction with Classic Artists Cream DVD" and may be excerpts from that.

Chris Dreja re: Yardbirds opening for the Beatles during their 1964 Christmas shows - "It were more vaudeville than rock'n'roll with the Beatles running around in these cheap costumes.  Eric wasn't enjoying it.  In fact he never showed up for one show.  I remember seeing him sneaking down the aisle during the last number, looking sheepish with a batch of albums under his arm."

Regards,
brooz

  Just wanted everyone to know that the latest issue of GuitarLegends magazine has devoted it's entire most recent issue (I picked it up Friday, 1 June) to Eric Clapton.  It's packed with articles, interviews and photos.  The magazine bills the issue as a "Special Collector's Edition."

  I found it at Border's Books and it was the last copy.  

  FYI & enjoy, Debi
