@stratorlespaul Yeah, not to knock Phil but his whole electric career is based on that solo, he didn't or wasn't able to touch the stuff like Texas etc - but that's cool. Bloomers was the original and so frikkin deep! From 6 00 - 7 00 - utter genius, almost madness, amazing feeling.. nobody touches it.

where else was Buddy Miles to go after this band broke up, of course to Hendrix.
-
The studio version has simply the greatest guitar solo in history - a world of moods in itself!!
-
Learn to appreciate the effort of other poeple who went through alot of shit to make this available to you. What do you want, a video haha, turn on your tv and watch some Mtv. But talent and commercialism have nothing in common.

The long guitar solo is was an ifluence on Phil Keaggy's playing & sound. Both using les pauls with fender amps.... You can hear alot of Micheal in his playing on the early glass harp.
-
...and I thought I was the only one that loved this band! I love YouTube.
-
The solo on the LP is the best solo in the entire era! and I mean starting in 1954 - present. It's totally original, so ballsy and intellectual at same time. It's Picasso and Cubism in approach. The dramatic arc is unlike anything in rock n roll
-
Horrible sound and no video, just still shots. Why bother??
-
The guitar break on the studio version--
they oughta take that tape put it in a time capsule & launch that sucker into space!



In my opinion this IS their signature tune. A moody, creative mini-masterpiece of design where everybody shines & Bloomfield has the opportunity to soar. Starting at 2:25 you're literally transported musically to "another country". You know you've arrived with the onset of that distinctive Latin rhythm at 3:38. Thanks for posting this, Zinedineo. To date it appears the studio version of this song has not been uploaded. Would like to see you add it for comparison purposes & high sound quality.

Brilliant! If you are interested my channel includes a cover version by Pesky Gee! (1969). They changed their name to Black Widow.
It was great to hear another live version by Electric Flag as well! Very hot...
