Clapton couldnt hold a candle to Mike Bloomfield when it came to playing blues from emotion. Few could/can. Greenie comes close. BTW, I'm a Cream fan.

Just blows me away after all these years. Bloomfield always sounds better everytime I listen.

Anyone - Can this phrasing be denied? The tone, execution, emotion...goose bumps. I met Mike when I was 13. I knew who he was. We watched the Butterfield band (with Elvin Bishop), at the Cafe Au GoGo in 1966. He proceeded to the stage to jam, but not before calling Buddy Miles to come down too. What a night!

@strobelightbeam > He was being polite

clapton and mike are equals. mike is just a gentleman and knew when he'd been matched. the graciousness of recognizing this only serves to illustrate the stature of a mega talent like mike bloomfield.

Hi! I'm a guitarrist from Argentina...Back on 1976 a friend ( Leon "EL Blusero" Vanela), who was a Bloomfield`s big fan, introduced me on Electric Flag's saga and so on: the many blues adventures of Michael, with Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter, Dr John, Paul Butterfield...I'm happy to see that, you guys remember him! He was to me the very best, white Bluesman I ever herd!
Cheers!

I think they jammed together on the night The Flag and Cream shared a bill at the Fillmore West. I read in a 1968 interview with Clapton,that he referred to Mike and Dylan as two of his biggest influences at the time.I do know based on what I've read that the two of them had a tremendous respect for eachother. Clapton even said that Mike discovered the woman tone before he did.
