Greatest live performances

I met her on the strip three years ago
In a Camaro with this dude from L.A.
I blew that Camaro off my back
And drove that little girl away
But now there’s wrinkles around my baby’s eyes
And she cries herself to sleep at night
When I come home the house is dark
She sighs, “baby did you make it all right”
She sits on the porch of her daddy’s house
But all her pretty dreams are torn
She stares off alone into the night
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born
For all the shut down strangers and hot rod angels
Rumbling through this promised land
Tonight my baby and me, we’re gonna ride to the sea
And wash these sins off our hands

Tonight, tonight the highway’s bright
Out of our way, mister, you best keep
‘Cause summer’s here and the time is right
For racin’ in the street

One of the great live songs

Read up a bit more on this recently. Apparently Rolling Stone had just released a 100 best guitar players list and Prince didn’t feature at the business end. Harrison’s son asked Prince to feature in the tribute. Prince, as is his want, pricked about a bit with the rehearsal but when he landed that night they could see he was ‘on’.

Petty told the others to follow him and see where he went. Where he went was other worldly and a performance for the ages. That solo was magical even to a pleb such as I. The guitar toss at the end was the perfect kiss off, that you never saw it land made it more iconic, one of those perfect moment, like Ali, don’t throw that final punch.

Clapton was once asked what it was like to be recognised as the greatest guitar player in the world. In fairness to him, the prick, he replied ‘Ask Prince’.

Good songs are good songs always. This looks class and the lads look to be on it

That sounds like a rip off of the same question asked of Jimi Hendrix; he replied “Ask Rory Gallagher”

Clapton must be one of the odious people in music.

From being an alleged rapist, to being an out and out racist and to being a generally boring and overrated musician.

He’s certainly up there, although that crown is well contested given the amount of nonces and creeps in that industry.

he actually admitted to beating and raping pattie boyd. very hard to reconcile that with the emotions conveyed in layla and wonderful tonight
