Sonny Boy Williamson & the Yardbirds
1 recommendation
"I can't believe I just discovered this CD. This is legendary bluesman Sonny Boy Williamson live at the Craw-Daddy Club in London in 1963. Oh yeah, his backing band are the very young Yardbirds featuring Eric Clapton. Imagine how thrilled these guy must have been to play with one of the idols! I've said it before and will continue to say it, without legendary bluesmen such as Williamson, bands lik..."
Eric Clapton - Clapton Chronicles - The Best of Eric Clapton
1 recommendation
"It does seem like boasting whenever someone dubs their own album "the best of", however, in this case, is it an understatement. Including the mournfully beautiful "Tears In Heaven" along with several of his popular blues songs, this Clapton album is a treasure trove of music history. Hearing him play "Layla" unplugged makes the album worth every iTunes penny."
Santana - Supernatural
1 recommendation
"I knew plenty of people who knelt at the altar of Santana before this album was released, but I wasn't one of them. I didn't own a single Santana single. "Supernatural" was truly my awakening, and I danced my way through the entire album the first time I put in on my stereo. NOW I understand."
Five Live Yardbirds - The Yardbirds
1 recommendation
"This is the first album by the Yardbirds, and one of my favorites. This early lineup features Eric Clapton (it was during this time the Clapton is God graffiti started appearing everywhere). I also enjoyed the Jeff Beck years of the Yardbirds (once Beck left and just Jimmy Page remained they lost that blues edge and went into a more psychedelic sound I don't care for). With that being said while I..."
Anthology: The Blues Project
1 recommendation
"WOW! These guys will knock you socks off! Hard to believe they were a bunch of white guys from NYC in the 60's!! I just recently became familiar with the Blues Project and this CD is a great way to get an overview of their music. I read that they are to the US in the 60's what John Mayall and his Bluesbreakers were to the UK. I would agree with that assessment. In fact, both bands do a cover of th..."
Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me by Pattie Boyd, Penny Junor
1 recommendation
"If you are unfamiliar with Pattie Boyd, she was part of one of the greatest love triangles in rock music history. She was first married to George Harrison and while married to him Eric Clapton fell hopelessly in love with her (she eventually married Clapton and was also the inspiration for the song Layla, among many others written by Clapton). She also had a brief fling with my beloved Ronnie Wood..."
The Yardbirds - DVD
1 recommendation
"If you love British rock, garage rock, or just good music in general you definitely need to know who the Yardbirds are. Any band that had three of the greatest guitarists of our time, Eric Clapton (not a huge fan of his, but you have to give him props), Jeff Beck (oh how I love him) and Jimmy Page had to have had something going on. This is basically the story of the Yardbirds, with some great per..."
John Lennon & The Plastic Ono Band: Live in Toronto '69
2 recommendations
"John Lennon & The Plastic Ono Band Live In Toronto ’69 is a rare look at one of the world’s most influential popular artists at a pivotal moment in his career. Filmed on the eve of the release of the Abbey Road LP — the last Beatles album to be recorded — this is the only performance ever caught on film of John Lennon & the Plastic Ono Band. It had been three years since Lennon had performed onsta..."
Crossroads: Eric Clapton Guitar Festival 2007
1 recommendation
"There were so many good bands at that festival, which I had the pleasure of attending. While Allison Kraus' energetic set was sadly omitted, there are so many other good acts on here. B.B.King and Buddy Guy are definitely among the high points. And then there's the amazing (and amazingly young) girl bassist that played with Jeff Beck. Make sure you mark her as I'm sure she's going to be big so..."

Live At Monterey - Jimi Hendrix
1 recommendation
"Perhaps the most famous of Hendrix's releases, he was at his PRIME when they recorded this version of Purple Haze. "When Jimi Hendrix walked onto the stage at Monterey he was relatively unknown in the United States. When he walked off the stage, popular music had been completely transformed. The American debut of the Jimi Hendrix Experience at Monterey isn't just the most exciting live rock con..."
Live Rust - Neil Young
1 recommendation
"Cinammon Girl, The Needle and the Damage Done, SUGAR MOUNTAIN, After the Gold Rush, Tonight's the Night - this album is QUITE the collection of some of Young's best hits. "In addition to the mellow songs, there are some louder, electric ones that are incredible as well, with Cinnamon Girl and Like a Hurricane being good examples. This album definitely has the 'live' thing going for it, and wh..."
At Budokan - Cheap Trick
1 recommendation
"A Must have for Cheap trick fans (ooh and look how cute they look!) "This is the album that broke Cheap Trick wide open in the U.S. Sure, there's a Complete Budokan version available, but 1} It's a bit pricey, and 2) unless you were at that concert in Japan, then a couple of omitted songs and a re-arranged track order is inconciquential. This version, is the version I REMEMBER, and the one ..."
Live At Leeds (25th Anniversary Edition) - The Who
1 recommendation
"The Who was/were/are one of my favorites. I was fortunate enough to work at their record label in the late 70's and heard them play in small rooms for promotional functions...but I gotta tell you in the 90's I paid HUGE BUCKS ($250) to see them at the LA Forum and they sounded even better than they had in those small rooms 15 years earlier. You can never tire of The Who! I think my favorite ..."
Live With Lou Reed, Vol.1 - The Velvet Underground:
1 recommendation
"The track listing on this record beats all the other albums if you ask me...it's got: Sweet Jane, We're gonna have a real good time, Heroin, Waiting for The Man, Rock 'n Roll...and the list goes on. "As far as Velvet Underground live material, I had only heard Live at Max's Kansas City, which I love, so I expected more of the same from the 1969 material, fidelity wise, before I heard this. S..."
Live At Carnegie Hall - Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble
1 recommendation
"This amazing album is kind of like a double edged sword. I also get so happy when I hear Stevie Ray, but laced with a heavy heart due to his untimely demise. Especially because I was working for the Music Distributor and set up the conference and helicopter transportation on which he was killed. I remember the next day - the shock, the sadness, the inability to accept what had happened. I ..."
Made In Japan - Deep Purple
1 recommendation
"OK, the most incredible collection of tracks including: Highway Star, Smoke On The Water (to most this was known as "Smoke Marijuana!" - Kids will be kids!), Strange Kind Of Woman, Lazy (how can you not be singing right now...Lazy, you just stay in bed...), and Space Truckin' to name a few, OMG - to me there is no better reminiscent collection of the impact Deep Purple had on my high school ..."
Alive! by Kiss
1 recommendation
"This "Double LP" is a bang for the buck at under $10. And, if you buy this, Amazon has an offer for 12 months of Rolling Stone mag for just one buck! A triple whammy! Quoting from Amazon: 5 Stars You Wanted The Best? This Is What Started It All..., November 16, 2003 By : "The Woj" (Downers Grove, IL) Having released 3 poorly produced studio records and one step away from the poor hou..."
Unplugged: Eric Clapton
1 recommendation
"Anyone who likes blues, guitar, the old Cream band or just good ole fashion rock already knows and is a fan of Eric Clapton. I believe him to be perhaps one of the top 5 guitarists anywhere. Borrowing a quote from Amazon.. Anthony Trendl editor, HungarianBookstore.com Says it earns 5 stars... "Clapton plays guitar. His fingers dance across the strings in "Signe," with the kind of virtuo..."
