    Could someone with knowledge of music explain why this song was difficult to play live? I recall Eric saying they tried rehearsing it for the 2005 Albert Hall reunion gigs, but couldn’t get it right.

    • @wayneschlegel1340
      @wayneschlegel1340 5 лет назад +3

      It´s difficult cause there are 2 guitars on the studio track, so you have to fill the gap when playing live with just 1 guitar. Then you got to switch between rhythm and lead parts quite accurate, as it´s a fast song without much time to do so. On top of that Eric sings second voice, and doing so while trippin´ is a kind of demand itself. That thy couldn´t get it right in 2005 is because especially this song needs a certain feel they simply lost, compare their gig in 2005 with anything from the 60s. Clapton played a different instrument through a completely different amp system, all of them lost a big part of their original fire, the sound today is much more accurate and sterile.

      I was 15 at the time, and it looked totally in keeping with the look of the time, at the time. It still just looks like Clapton in 1967, to me!

      I heard it was not a tribute to Hendrix but to Dylan.

    Ginger is playing fine, but he looks 'on the nod,' as they say. Early performance. Soon after and for the rest of their brief stint together, Clapton always set up to Ginger's left and Bruce on Ginger's right. Sightlines are a bit easier that way playing guitar right-handed.

    ¿Por qué Piero Scaruffi acusa a Eric Clapton de ser copista y plagiario de JJ Cale?
