QuoteDoxa Yes, what a tragical story. The piano or the 'second' part of "Layla" has always been one of my favourite instrumentals parts. The musical landscape is just so incredibly sad, melancholical, reflective... Always makes me moody. I never realize that is Gordon's. Now it sounds even more blues. No a classy act from Clapton if he didn't mention Gordon in his

They're not really cut, they just come from the 1st show on 10/17/73 and all the rest come from the 2nd show. Speaking of edits though, Mick Taylor's solo on "All Down The Line" is edited.

The '59 is a 3 tone sunburst refin (as of '58, sunburst Strats were 3 tone, although with the earlier versions the red was photo-reactive and faded quickly, so many '58s and '59s look like 2 tone sunbursts). So cool. Love to be able to play a '54. Just out of curiousity, how would you characterize t

Quotexke38 Trio of pre-CBS Strats Awesome man. I love those maple neck '50's Strats. I'm not crazy about rosewood fretboards on Fenders. I don't mind it on Gibsons or other guitars, but on Fender's I just much prefer the look of a maple neck. What years are those from? One of those sunburst Strats looks like it might be closer to a 3 tone sunburst.

Yeah I think Tony comes across as being more articulate and comfortable in front of the camera than I would have guessed considering the comments from Keith and Marianne about him over the years.

Sheww.......here we go again with the "Skynyrd blew the Stones off the stage at Knebworth" business.... Getting "blown offstage" is not meant literally. Skynyrd didn't come out with a giant fan or TNT or whatever while the Stones were onstage and actually send them flying off the stage. If that happened, it would be a fact.

Not really familiar with Lou Reed's stuff to be honest. Most Gibsons have humbucking pickups. Most Fender's have single coil pickups. That accounts for some of the differences in tone.

Fender's generally have a more trebly, sharp tone. Gibson's generally have a fatter, more rounded tone. This is not a rule by any means. Alot of it depends on the amp used and especially, the player. For instance, the really cleanly picked intro to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "I Know A Little"....most people would assume that was played on a Fender. I've read multiple
