An odd choice for a song since the Stones followed them in July 1969, and the very song the Stones were playing during the infamous Altamont concert the same year when the Hell's Angels knocked out one of the Airplane and murdered a black man in the audience. My theory about the Altamont indecent is the Stones didn't understand the culture of the California Hell's Angels vs the English Hell's Angels.Yes they were there in Hyde Park as security. They said please and thank you. US H'sA=skinheads.
I'm in the process of building a tele/strat neck project guitar because of seeing this footage a few years ago. Amazing look and tone, I could listen to Clapton's tone and playing from this concert all day.
Clapton bought three Strats from the Sho~Bud steel shop in Nashville around this time. Assumedly this neck is from one of those Strats, all of which were parted out and mix-matched. One became Blackie, one went to Harrison, and not sure about the other one. This could be the Blackie neck.
That's definitely a Tele body that Clapton's playing, but the headstock looks more like one from a Strat? Was a Strat neck transplanted onto a Telecaster body for this gig?
@A10thunderbolt Did you know that Ginger got his first gig thanks to Charlie? He replaced Charlie in Alexis Korner's band when Charlie joined the Stones. They have very different styles, but both have strong Jazz roots.
The Who recorded a version of this 1966 Stones song, along with "The Last Time," while the backbone of that group was facing jail time. It was the spring of 1967; Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were arrested at Richards's Redlands estate, but their arrest became much-publicized (eventually their charges were dropped), leading one to headline the event as "Who Breaks a Butterfly on a Wheel?"
@TheRickynow hahahaha yeah strange thing,eric was using a strat privately but didnt want to use one publically in case people said he was copying hendrix,it was only after 1970 when jimi died that he started using a strat in public,i always noticed that..
@onlyjoetee he liked the sound of the tele but didnt like the thin neck, the neck on that tele is the same one that ended up on the brownie telecaster
@1954telecaster I think you misunderstood, I'm a huge fan of Blind Faith, I was saying that it wasn't the strongest song in the gig, but it's as close as anyone will get to the sheer brilliance of the Stone's original
everybody was so slim in those days... was that cocaine? or simply better feeding habits?

@williebrown01 You ever notice that Hendrix once used a strat with a telecaster neck ?
The footage is on youtube some place. Wonder if they exchanged ?

@alexlancer11 It is very possible as Clapton had a habit of "lending" out his guitars. Look at what happened to the Fool SG.
