Top list , top choices . I did see Darryl in a small club playing fusion jazz with Mike Stern on guitar and Keith Carlock on drums. Outstanding, not from this world. This is a list I expect from a musician like him.

As far as I know Jimmy used a b-bender guitar for playing his solo . He had a Tele and even a Les Paul b-bender. Makes me think if Ronnie got the inspiration by that session for using a b-Bender on his own (ESP model) . Tom

So sad to hear! I hoped to see him again. Followed him since his Beyond Cool album in 1993. Could see him live at Quasimodo,Berlin in 2003 . One of the most impressive club gigs I ever attended. What a musician. Kick Ass Funk,Blues, guitar and Organ player. Some Stones connection: he did a coverversion of Lucky In Love on his 2003 album Black Midnight Sun, produced by Bill Laswell.... 55 years,

QuoteSpud Interesting points Tom. Yes I agree...the better the HiFi system the more obvious some of these variances are. (Indeed, the whole rationale of high compression brick wall mastering is to cater for the lowest common denominator of low quality and/or portable playback equipment.) I'd also agree that the original ABB release on vinyl sounded better than the CD... But the n

Do the earlier ones better or even equal the original analogue pressings ?

I love the actual version of the Fender Blues Junior IV. Different from all other versions , 12“Celestion and it works great even in an appartment . Smooth sounding , crunch ... , just great . Works fine with pedals . So for adjusting the volume , you can do it with a pedal anyway . Sadly no headphone jack . Cheers , Tom

This album stands out of the latter era cause it was the only time they were ready for trying something knew. They were always great at adding actual influences to their own sound. This time they were not just trying to sound like the Stones. They were open for experimentation with some great results. Tom

As far as I know the sound on stage differs from what comes out of the pa-system. The onstagesound is mixed seperately. The mixing-desk is often on the side or back of the stage . And of course the musicians on stage prefer a different mix on their monitors. The drummer wants the bass high in the mix and the singer wants ...and so on.
