Buddy is amazing. I talked to him at a concert about this song and solo specifically. He said it was "one of those nights that all the planets lined up well". It's beyond me how he can be on the same stage with Clapton, and close his eyes and play 100 times better than anyone else on that stage. He's so relaxed when he plays that you might think it's not him playing. Just an amazing musician from the Lone Star state!
I think EC had fun playing with the Bluesbreakers again. He definitely seemed to enjoy playing with Buddy. I highly recommend the DVD this is taken from! It comes with a CD as well.
I saw John Mayall front and center at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago in 1972. Amazing musician, was one of my favorites. Then I saw him again around 1994 with that same guitarist (not Clapton, the other one) and they kicked ASS. John still looks HOT :)
How lucky am i to have Blues as my genre of music for the last thirty five years,and to have seen all these amazing musos..............gotta love the Blues
un gran concierto.....parece mentira pero mayall sigue dando lo mejor de si. no como otros y me acuerdo de los rollings que no valen para nada. solo se salva un par de l.p.s....en cambio mayall es sublime todos han sido buenisimos.
Just goes to show you how many great Blues players are not household names. Buddy Whittington, Eh? He's a top notch player who can rock it with the best of them. With all due respect to Mayall - it seems he'd have picked up more good hard boogyin' licks after all these years in the Blues. Just sayin'
Buddy Whittington a Brit (?), one of the many great guitarists Mayall has had in the Bluesbreakers, including Eric, Peter Green, Harvey Mandel, and Mick Taylor?
@peyoteblues I totally and wholehartedly must beg to differ with you here... I guess it's a matter of taste but i prefer him on strats. I feel he never could get out of a gibson what he can get out of a strat. To me personally he is a (if not the) master of the stratocaster
@mossel1977 Man i hate that "Clapton on LP is good, Clapton on strat sucks" I can't believe people really think he sounds bad with a strat... Clapton sounds good on a Strat, 335, Sg, Tele, LP and those big acoustic gibsons that i don't know the name!
@iceman273 100 times better is not only impossible but an extraordinary exaggeration. However his tone, expression, relaxed feel and vibrato was way more outstanding than CLapton on this occassion. For a Bluesbreakers reunion Claptopn should have used a Beano old Les Paul imo and fattened up his tone and sustain.
He should be playing a Les Paul like he did in 1966. Such a better sound than the strat. SRV,Dave Gilmour.etc sound fantantastic on the strat but CLapton should stick with Gibsons
@iceman273 We'll have to agree to disagree about Buddy playing "100 times better than anyone on that stage". Not sayin' he ain't good, but he's nowhere near THAT good. Seriously.

John Mayall is a classic. He put together so many bands.

Feliz Cumpleaños en esta ocasión a Eric Clapton que ayer 30 de Marzo tambien cumplió los 70 años!!

Buddy Whittington is awesome! He certainly has no trouble hanging with Clapton.
Of course he was 10x better at that point in his career
Blue Breakers is a must have CD/rock on brothers and sisters
WOW 70 years and still going strong
Excellent
Bowing in my computer room to the greatest of the blues peeps. "I am not worthy, I am not worthy" lol

Buddy is from Texas!!
Ft Worth Texas ya'll! Still rocking too!
Buddy Whittington was born and raised and still lives in Hurst, Texas.
@ZoomieSkybound Yes his solo is at 3:09
@guitrr Yeah, @ 2:15 you could tell how much he was into it. Oh, how I love the blues!
Zoomie, yes, that's Buddy in the Hawaiian shirt.
@shinotora1X No he wouldn't. He'd be up on the stage with them rocking along, delighted to be in such good company.
Don"t forget Rocky Athas: from " OakCliff " Dallas Texas also did his time in John Mayall"s Blues Breakers!!!!!!
Buddy
Buddy Whittington was the best guitarist, on that stage. I would say that even if he wasn't a friend.
blues rule

...o quattro con me!

Clapton doesn't sound nor GIbson neither Strat, he sounds Claptonly.
@pyannaguy maybe you're forgetting his age,I'm only 55 and I know my hands don't do quite what they used to!

Buddy Whittington equals new Clapton
@MusicLover1049 Ooopps @ 3:15. My bad
He should be playing a Les Paul like he did in 1966. Such a better sound than the strat. SRV,Dave Gilmour.etc sound fantantastic on the strat but CLapton should stick with Gibsons

He wasn't 100 times better, but he was definitely better.
thats for sure
