that wasnt very good......Twice he had to tell them to get quiet....You should barely hear Mayall ...They clearly never played together on this one as the Bassist was showing the Key at the start and the stop/changes during Alberts last solo....I say Albert walked off stage and said enough of this....lol Albert is very demanding but didnt give angry looks like he would to his own band members if they played like that. Peace & Blues

The music of the negro people performed by a white John Mayall. This is pure awesomeness!

@huubramler Albert King himself has always said that he wants younger players to come forward and take room. Taylor had a great blues solo going, lovely dynamics and feeling, so he kept going to reach the crescendo. At the jam in the end of this show, you can clearly see Albert King watching Taylor and being very impressed. And when you play a guitar solo like this on stage, you are completely in your own world. Two legendary guitar players btw, thanks for the video srvfan79.

But he does makes me feel what he plays.

@huubramler You're right. He shouldn't have ignored Albert, but Albert is limited in his lead playing.
songs and performances like this are the reasons i say, "God, I love the Blues!!!"

I don't wanna say that Mick Taylor's solo was bad (actually, it was kinda good), but Albert King clearly insisted a guitar conversation, and when King does that, you don't ignore him and keep playing your own solo's!!
