The Band - Eric Clapton & Robbie Robertson

Ahhh well then, if this ain't "dueling strings" at it's finest, then I don't know what 'tis, lol (fine 19 & polki60, haha)...Sweet gawd 't lads, both guitar gods, supreme in their talent, have a go at each other, don't they now, with the utmost joy & respect for each other!.Craic sh** no matter how you look at it, LOL! luv, jillyriddler, rock goddess! just reap what you sew, just like someone's gonna mistreat you...I'll never mistreat anyone, nay, not ever, of that you can be sure! lol!

Hot damn this is so fine it makes me weak with pleasure, especially when Robbie goes whole hog around 2:30...even the God himself, Clapton, is in awe at the end...mad crushes on both these lads...whenever I watch "The Last Waltz", it's just a donnybrook of joy & mayhem...love The Band & all the artists who made that concert smoke the walls, lol! jilly

Different guitarists, different styles, both fantastic. Watching it again. Thanks!!

your "handle" starts with mahatma, do YOU know who you are, really? we are all in "your league", eh?

Ghandi's name started with Mahatma as well.
Who cares? I don't care that your """"handle""" starts with "anti".
I don't a toss for your questions either.
Are you headmental?
How about you piss off?

This was somewhere around clapton's heroin period.

Clapton most likely had no intention of ''battling" Robbie. He was just tryin' to feel good.

Exactly.
Have you read Eric Clapton's biography as well?

Clapton mentions the 'Last Waltz' show in his book too. It's not a bad read.

no, actually, this is much after clapton's "heroin" period. his heroin period ended about three or four years prior to this concert.

well, heroin has a long and famous history of fueling fanstastic blues,, Eric seems to have inspired Robbie to show of for a change
