Yeah...freddie was really special..

I've never been a big clapton fan..eric is , at his best, a great imitator...but not an original in the same sense as freddie and albert and others...

I love a great blues player...i'm not much of one, myself...but..good guitar blues is right out of heaven...

some brits do a real nice job, too...peter green in the early fleetwood mac days...whew...what a great touch he had....
Gary Moore...makes me sweat...i think he's a brit...

Clapton with john mayall was brilliant...but...he just lost the fire somehow...i dunno...

i remeember my first wife went up to freddie after the show to tell him how much she enjoyed his playing..he was a big bear of a man..jet black complexion...she was a little bitty japanese girl..about four eleven..maybe a hundred pounds tops..but really, really pretty.
Freddie just scooped her up, kissed her full on the lips and set her back down, all in one motion...(laughing)..boy..she was surprised...
That was in 1974, as i recall.....

he suree could play..and sang his ass off, too..

played a red 335 thru a super reverb...cranked!

i'd sure like to go back and relive that show...even tho it was an ass kicking for yours truly
