The Who “Sparks”

More ‘freakin hell’ than ‘tasty’. The Who here in 1970 at their peak.  Amazing energy, huge sound. Pete Townsend destroys it. Keith Moon is from another planet. Rock jam perfection.

Tom Bukovac Improv

Tom Bukovac is my hero. Here he is just jamming by himself late at night. The guy throws out tasty chops like a butcher at a meat market.

This clip from Derek Trucks live at the Henry Fonda Theater in 2007 is just sublime. He’s playing the intro of Sahib Teri Bandi and segueing into something else.

BB King “Sweet Sixteen”

Stunning performance of Sweet Sixteen by BB King in 1974. He plays and sings every note like he means it and the band burns the track up like a bonfire. Also keep you eye out for Muhammad Ali jumping out of his chair and bowing to the King at 6:50. Love it.

Eric Clapton 1968 “Woman Tone” Interview

A classic interview with Eric Clapton at the height of his powers in 1968. The formal tone of the interviewer is a bit awkward but he gets Eric to cover some good stuff including how he works his tone controls, dynamics, vibrato, the infamous “woman tone”, stock phrases and music as an outlet of emotion. Somebody please tell EC to play an SG again.
