Great!

That's just masturbation. No dynamics, no soul, crappy organ sound, boring endless solos.

@7000bass don't get me wrong but i don't think mayall got off of his roots in this one. the man gathered so much of experience over the years and he always had an eye on good musicians, especially guitar players. and i think walter troutis in the top 4 of bluesbreakers guitarists (my personal opinion) and this perfomance shows a lot of soul from every perfoming musician

and also it's hard to be an inventive guitarist after eric clapton and jimi hendrix, isn't it?^^

[Dannycoolbreeze]

Both Water Trout And Coco Montoya are great guitarist and are still jammin to this day !! Shweet sounds comin' from them guitars

;-)))!!!

john mayall on keyboards, WALTER TROUT, on that blue guitar strat, coco montoya on the other guitar, Walter is king!!

[7000bass]

He plays great but a bloke on a blue strat???  Listen to the original stuff...eric/king - also gary moore (the purist player ott) This is showtime...but it isn't rock'n'roll & it certaintly ain't the blues. Willy showing stuff. Mayall you still blossoming but you're off your roots. No Soul. Lick flashing killing off the original spirit. Great stuff but so far away from Sir Robert Johnson. That was good & very real.

[jaxalude]
