Eric Clapton - Layla (Unplugged)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4i-cOv69tw
Love it!
Happy
I just had no idea you liked the stones and more...very good taste!
except for music of a very recent vintage. Nothing new has been impressing me lately. Funny, I didn't think pop, rock and country could have been more lame thanit was in the '80's, but the '00's ain't been stellar.
I'm old,loved the 70's,60's etc. Funny,Ray Charles RIP, said about todays music: 'That ain't music,we had jive talk in the 1920's"....lol.

Eric Clapton - Layla (jazz version)

I've never seen or heard that version before and it is beautiful. Thanks, lafingas.
Baby Please Don't Go
Muddy Water version also....ahhhhh One of my very very favorites is "I'm a King Bee" by Slim Harpo,but youtube won't let me up load it,I'll discise it....shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
...the Stones' version of "I'm A King Bee" was one of the first LNMC posts I made. I swear I've seen the Slim Harpo version before on-line somewhere.
I't been covered several times,SNL vid etc,but no orignal. Sometime youtube deletes them later on in my favs. for copyright junk. Bo Diddley's "I'm a Man" came from Muddy Waters 'Mannish Boy'...as you well know..lol
"Duane Allman was good, but Clapton smokes on this cut."
Duane Allman was good?? He was pretty much always awesome.
Clapton should have stuck with the Les Paul like the Beano years.
Strats just can't get that fat tone that is so much better..
Duane "Skydog" Allman was a fire-breathing monster. His slide-playing inspired a whole crew of subsequent guitar-slingers like Joe Walsh, Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes.
This is one of my favorite records of all time.
Clapton smokes on here.
I looked up the licks and I'm going to try a little but today.
With the emphasis on try.. :)
Green Onions
... and just a lot of fun to play. Niiice. Check this live version.
but it cuts off too soon. The Colonel is gettin' it, though!
... but it's actually live and not the version from the silly dance show where they just pretend to play.
I'll Go Crazy
Sorry, no film made of this show, but I'll stand behind this album (Live At The Apollo as the greatest live one ever made, any genre.

my favorite track off the Layla album is 'Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?' followed up by 'Bell Bottom Blues'

Buddy Guy being Buddy Guy - First Time I Met the Blues
As for tonight's selection on Clapton, I enjoy Clapton and he was before my time. I enjoy his work with Cream. I can only imagine the thrill of hearing Cream for the first time across the airwaves.
The first time I heard Eric Clapton was on one of those so-called "underground" radio stations in the 60's doing one of the tunes off the Bluesbreakers album with John Mayall. Sweet suffering sassafras! It is no exaggeration to say that it changed the way I listened to music...
I found this by accident,discised the orignial 'Midnight Rambler' about 1 minute into the vid.
The Layla album--which was not particularly well received at the time of its release--is merely one of the half dozen best blues/rock LPs ever recorded. From the delicate intertwining guitars of its opener, "I Looked Away," to the magnificent title track, this one delivers thrills chills and not a few tears along the way. "Bell Bottom Blues?" "It's Too Late?" An absolutely storming "Key To The Highway?" "Nobody knows You When You're Down And Out?" Take-no-prisoners rock & roll like "Tell The Truth" and "Keep On Growing?" I swear it's almost impossible to pick out a favorite here.
There's a reason that Eric Clapton was the only person inducted into the Rock Hall in THREE different places: The Yardbirds, Cream, and his solo work...of which this is likely the prime example.
I saw him on his 2004 tour (with Billy Preston playing the big Hammond organ) when his current CD was Me And Mr. Johnson...and if that wasn't magic, then I swear, I don't know what is!
Get 'em, Mr. C...
and lucky you to have seen Eric and Billy Preston playing together.
Clapton is truly one of the best.
"Will it go'round in circles!'.....love it.
Billy rawked.
Thank you very much.
Eric is one of my very few idols...although I haven't seen him many times: Once with Cream, once with Derek & The Dominoes and lastly in 2004. Still, I'm sure he knows that there are those of us out here who love him truly and dearly.
It's a shame I can't post images here because I have one of him playing his acoustic guitar for his daughter who looks to be about six years old. I think it's just hilarious and touching that the beautiful little girl doesn't have ANY idea of who he is and what he means to the music world. She just know he's Daddy...
and thank you, Eric Clapton!
Ike and Tina song I ever heard
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0sk2jNbxlQ
... in genres folks:
Aaron Copland - Hoedown from Rodeo. You all know it, but probably from commercials.
Time for me to drop a little something in these threads. I always look for some new info, hope to share something here. This "famous" piece from the Beef Commercials was composed by Aaron Copland in the early 1940's. Copland made his piece based on an old folk tune known as Bonapart's Retreat. Which oddly enough has connections to the Seeger family.
from when I was a little kid....did I tell you I'm old?...lol
... you have a few years on me. Roughly 3 decades or so. I find it fascinating that a composer created a massive work based on a sole fiddle song from the Appalachian hills.
but never knew the name of it. I love that tune. Cute horse clip-clop sounds from the orchestra, too.
Outstanding!
from when I was a little kid....did I tell you I'm old?...lol

There's an Elvis infomercial out there chuking an Elvis movie collection. I had no idea Elvis was only 22 when he made Jailhouse Rock. I am amazed Elvis lived to be as old as he did. Fame and fortune that soon and at a time when it was unparalleled?
I still don't "get" him. Growing up, I had a neighbor lady who had a number of "Velvet Elvis" paintings in her house and a mad collections of Elvis paraphernalia. At the same time, it turned me off from him but made me curious how my neighbor could be infatuated with someone she had never met (but seen countless times).

Garçon Glaçon
... how did you find that?
of Chrominance Decoder. Don't know what happened to it, but I can't find it now. I check YouTube and DailyMotion from time to time to see if anyone's posted any of their stuff. Used to be about three songs, now there's a lot of material up at YouTube. Same thing happened with Lambert, Hendricks and Ross.
Got turned on to April March by the film Election. Then I found the band's website and fell in love with Elinor Blake.
... that's an interesting story. Can't say I enjoy the music all that much, but the story makes up for it. Thank you for sharing.
I found one of favorite songs in the middle of a kung foo movie!..Louie Louie by the Kingsmen/
and thanks for that nice tune there. Nice to see ya!
:D
You folks in Alberta pumping any crappy weather our way soon?
The weather is supposed to be relatively nice here for the next few days ... but then again ... this is Alberta.
Keep your eyes peeled for those dreaded Clippers headed your way from the north!
And I know. I hate your Clippers.
but, coincidentally, I watched a 'How To Get Your Car Out Of The Snow' video right here on the LNMC a few weeks ago.
I am prepared for anything now.

'Night all.
by the master Bob Dylan. He is in a league of his own.
Brown Paper Bag. Could be the biggest jungle song ever. Best in my book at least. Keeps a steady beat without ridiculous cuts.
... and hope it gets a front page sometime soon. De La Soul - Eye Know. Just a great, great song which samples some great songs while laying down it's own flavor. Takes me back to junior high and my 11 month old daughter loves it.
I've been thinking about subitting some De La...but keep it under your hat.
Junior High? Make me feel old, kiddo. I was a ways into my 20's when that album dropped.
Goddammit! Now I'm going to have to conduct a fruitless search for some Candido!

This might seem like a non-sequitir to anyone in the world but me and an old roomie, but...well...

My favourite song on the LP too, right up there with Worried Life Blues from Just One Night.

and it's sad that he died so young. He will never be forgotten.
The hour is late, good night to all. Sleep well.

I didn't know he died.
sad:(

I heard Clapton interviewed on All Things Considered, by Melissa Block. It was a really great interview, although I usually don't like the show because it's too conservative....however
He said that the record that influenced him the most was Big Bill Broonzy playing and singing "Hey, Hey" It's amazing. I must have listened to it 150 times in the past 6 months. Fantastic guitar playing AND foot-tapping that never stops during the whole song.
It's on YouTube.
Good God man, 75 comments and no one has mentioned the very best version of this song yet--by the King Size Boogie Man, FREDDIE KING !
Take a hit of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdPD1rcQlig
Btw, Duane was far more than good. imo.
Livin' on the Open Road
No thanks
I prefer Dominas.

...which is an abstracted painting of a blonde woman's head (resembling Patti Harrison).
This is the cover of Eric's solo album, which is also fine (cuts like 'Easy Now,' 'Let it Rain,' and 'Blues Power')--though not great like Layla. The self-titled solo album was done about a year before Layla, with Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett and their group (I believe Delaney produced the album).
This unassuming bunch had been the opening act during the Blind Faith tour, and Clapton (under the influence of The Band, Dylan's John Wesley Harding LP, and the anti-pretentious psychedelia movement of the time), ended up spending more time with them than with his own band. He spoke at the time of his reverence for Delaney's outlook on life and music, and then stole the nucleus of his band: bassist Carl Radle (later died of a heroin overdose), keyboardist Bobby Whitlock (who contributed so much to the Layla album), and drummer Jim Gordon (who wrote the piano coda to Layla). Gordon later went mad (schizophrenia) and killed his mother with a hammer. He's still in a mental institution, as far as I know. Bobby Whitlock is fine, though!
Just checked Wikipedia. Jim Gordon is not in a mental institution; his sentence of 16 years to life was passed before he was diagnosed, so he's in the California penal system, unable to get the treatment his condition warrants. He must be worth millions from the royalties for Layla--think how often that coda is played on the radio!--but his wealth can't help him.
Oh, and while I'm correcting--
Carl Radle didn't die of an overdose. It was a kidney infection brought on by alcoholism and drug abuse. Small difference.
