Robin Trower -- Too Rolling Stoned -
Angus Young -- Guitar Solo -
Pete Townsend -- (Acoustic version) We Won’t Get Fooled Again -
And one of my all time favorites :
Alvin Lee -- The Bluest Blues -
Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughan -- I’m Going Down
Slash (Guns N’ Roses) -- Welcome to The Jungle
More John Mayhall, this one is a money maker pop song, but it did have Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton in the group at this time.
Jeff Beck -- Drown In My Own Tears -
Joe Satriani -- Surfing With The Alien -
Frank Zappa -- Muffin Man -
Keith Richards -- Blues Acoustic -
Frank Zappa’s guitar solos live were something to behold. He was great.

OK, folks. One drunken night in Telluride, I proclaimed myself the “President of the Sonny Landreth INTERNATIONAL fan club”.
Here’s a little something with someone else you might recognize -- Eric Clapton who said “Sonny Landreth is probably the most underestimated musician on the planet”. Alpha Bitch says: He is also one of the most humble, nice people on the planet. He also at one time played in a mythical band, the Traiteurs (meaning “healer” in Cajun). They never toured, never did interviews, never allowed photo shoots and never got paid -- always played for benefits. Enjoy, and hopefully you will find a new “star”.
I like it, AB!!!! When you see a Sunburst Fender Strat, your foot starts tapping and your body moving, spontaneously.
ROCK-N-ROLL

Just ran to the grocery…QFM 96 in Cbus A-Z Weekend…and heard this…
*EDIT* Sat in the car until it was over and a neighbor asked if I was “jammin’” — of course I could be his mother, but I said abosolutely!
This may even be better…
Frampton 1975 Do You Feel Like I Do
Gawd I feel old! My oldest was only 2!
And…Frampton in 2008 33 years later
David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) -- Wish You Were Here
Django Reinhardt -- Limehouse Blues
If you were alive when Cream was together (boomer
) There were two great guitars. Jack Bruce was great on bass.
That drummer fellow wasn’t too bad either.
