John played keyboards, Dick Heckstal-Smith on Saxes, saw them live loads of times and supported John Mayall with my band White Unicorn in, if I remember right 1970 at a Cambridge University May Ball, still got the programme.

Very good song

[bloderme]

Dick Heckstall-Smith on keyboards? Or is that him in the background playing saxophone? He was both keyboard player and saxophonist in the horn section if I remember correctly.  And now dead. RIP

If anyone doubts if Peter Green belongs in the same league as other Mayall alumnus Eric and Mick Taylor, just check out the raw tone on this guitar break!!

[DirtyDeck]

@inquiry7 anybody that doubts Peter Green deserves a slap. Isn't this Clapton?

[UlyssestheBrave]

@DirtyDeck It's not. Bluesy Greeny.

The BB King concert was more like an audience with BB. He played very little and talked a hell of a lot but the band were hot. I would have preferred Mayall to have played a hell of a lot more. He and his band were great.

Thumps up 13rokin!!

[TapeMeasureandhair]

anyone know if Greeny is doing any more gigs?

[TheHotshotmama]

@TapeMeasureandhair Yes he is still going. Urfortunately because I live in NZ I was unable to see him performing at the Byron Bay Jazz and Blues Festival in Australia. But if you go to John Mayall's website there is a picture of him and Greeny taken at tht festival. By the way John Mayall came to NZ after that and did several performances around the country. I attended the one in Auckland and boy did it blow me away. That was the first time I had seen him perform live and boy what a night ti was

[TapeMeasureandhair]

@TheHotshotmama John Mayall opened for BB KIng when I saw him in cardiff

Hi jimmytheferret and thanx for posting this! I've had "bare wires" since I was about 13 when my cousin gave it to me, and I love it still. John Mayall is one of the best there is in my opinion. Thanks for posting this one, I loved it....;)
