Jams & Gems of Eric Clapton & Friends

Clapton é "GOD"? Não sei... Mas vamos analisar de outra forma. Clapton é um guitarrista talentoso... Todas as vertentes musicais o conhecem. Em todas as bandas que tocou, Do Yardbirds até seus discos atuais, todos têm uma qualidade musical impecável (e indiscutível). Além de detonar na guitarra, Clapton sempre foi um bom camarada. Creio ser o mais generoso músico que conheci. Tocou com todos que podia, que o convidavam... GOD?... Não sei, mas um grande músico, e um grande ser humano. 

Bom, olha o que B.B. King tem a dizer sobre Mr. Clapton...

Segue uma compilação de grandes parcerias do Clapton...

Eric Clapton & Friends - The A.R.M.S. Benefit Concert

Demorou 30 anos para que os fãs de rock pudessem ouvir novamente uma das raríssimas vezes em que três gênios da guitarra tocassem ao mesmo tempo em um palco. Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck e Jimmy Page, a santíssima trindade da guitarra inglesa, excursionou por alguns meses, ao lado de outros astros do rock, como Steve Winwood e Joe Cocker, entre 1983 e 1984, fazendo parte de uma turnê beneficente em prol da A.R.M.S., uma entidade britânica de apoio à pesquisa de uma doença chamada esclerose múltipla. Alguns dos shows foram transformados em dois concorridos vídeos em VHS chamados “A.R. M. S. Concert'', lançados em meados dos anos 90, mas jamais reeditados em DVD por questões de direitos autorais e o mesmo em relação ao áudio, só lançado uma única vez em CD, em edição limitadíssima. 

O concerto – e sua turnê norte-americana subsequente – foi organizada pelo baixista e cantor inglês Ronnie Lane (ex-Small Faces e The Faces), que foi diagnosticado com esclerose múltipla, uma doença incurável e que provoca, entre outras coisas, o atrofiamento de músicos e afeta os nervos, em 1980. Membro emérito da entidade, juntou alguns amigos para a série de concertos beneficentes para arrecadar fundos a serem aplicados em pesquisas sobre a doença e na procura de uma eventual cura. Lane morreu em 1998, aos 51 anos, bastante debilitando, de problemas cardíacos agravados pela esclerose múltipla. Na série de concertos, um momento histórico acontece: Page, Beck e Clapton tocam juntos em duas músicas, “Layla'', grande sucesso de Clapton com o Derek and the Dominos, e em “Stairway to Heaven'', superclássico do Led Zeppelin, em versão instrumental.

Eric Clapton & Friends - 2008 - The A.R.M.S. Benefit Concert

The ARMS Charity Concerts were a series of charitable rock concerts in support of Action into Research for Multiple Sclerosis in 1983. The first (and initially planned to be the only) event took place at the Royal Albert Hall on September 20, 1983, with subsequent dates occurring in the United States, with slightly different lineups of musicians. The idea for hosting the concert was envisaged by Ronnie Lane, ex-bassist for The Small Faces and The Faces, himself a casualty of multiple sclerosis. The concert was billed as The Ronnie Lane Appeal for ARMS and featured a star-studded line-up of British musicians, including Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Steve Winwood, Andy Fairweather Low, Bill Wyman, Kenney Jones and Charlie Watts. The concert was particularly notable in the fact that it was the first occasion on which Clapton, Beck and Page, each a former lead guitarist for The Yardbirds, had performed together on stage.

Blues - Down Home Slide

Although slide guitar compilations at times seem to proliferate like kudzu, this particular collection has much to recommend adding it to the collection. For openers, there's the inclusion of three previously unreleased live performances from Robert Nighthawk. Playing in a 1964 Chicago concert accompanied by Johnny Young on guitar and mandolin, and Little Walter on acoustic harmonica (a rarity), Nighthawk turns in stellar readings of Jimmy Rogers' "That's All Right" (a number he apparently never recorded anywhere else), Little Walter's "Everything's Gonna Be Alright" (set to a "Dust My Broom" arrangement), and his standard "Anna Lee," all in highly relaxed versions that add much to his meager discography. Other highlights include a track of Eddie Taylor making a rare appearance on slide with Nighthawk's "Jackson Town," four tracks by Big Joe Williams, two from Fred McDowell, a Johnny Littlejohn instrumental with Jimmy Rogers on rhythm guitar ("Slidin'"), and Homesick James guesting behind vocalist George Coleman on "Mad and Evil." Selections from David "Honeyboy" Edwards, Arthur Weston, Blind Connie Williams, John Henry Barbee, Elijah Brown and Johnny Shines complete this excellent collection.

Boogie Woogie - Rockin Roots Piano

It was early in the Thirties: after emerging from the piano-bars and honky-tonks of Texas, boogie woogie moved into rent parties in Harlem. The fashion had started. Passing jazzmen, converted bluesmen or authentic diehards, the aces of the keyboard here show all the richness of this powerful, obsessional genre that was the most African of piano jazz styles, an essential component of what became rock and roll.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Brain Salad Perjury

Re-Works: Brain Salad Perjury

Review by Thom Jurek ( http://www.allmusic.com/album/reworks-brain-salad-perjury-mw0000018356 )

It was only a question of time. It had to happen. After all, didn't the Orb's Alex Paterson and a host of ecstasy-addled dance music producers take the music of Pink Floyd into the mixologist's lab? Emerson, Lake & Palmer, whose very name is synonymous with rock excess and the curse of prog rock, has now been given the same treatment by producer Mike Bennett on this (shudder) three-CD box set from Burning Airlines. Oh yes, and it was done with the cooperation and participation of Keith Emerson. Discs one and two each begin with remixes of "Fanfare for the Common Man," which was already a reinterpretation of Aaron Copland's canonical classical work. Jungle, ambient, techno, and even hard house are used by Bennett to restring the piece, and Emerson re-recorded bits and bites for texture. The rest of discs one and two are reworkings of ELP "classics" such as "I Believe in Father Christmas," "Brain Salad Surgery," "Take a Pebble," etc., and a deconstruction of Carl Palmer's aggressive drumming style on "Palmstone" at the end of disc two. Disc three consists of various remixes of -- guess what? It's "Fanfare for the Common Man" once again, by such luminaries as Digger, Clive Mead, Simon Guilfoyle, Graham Pilgrim, and Bennett himself. This is not for everybody, but ELP fans, wherever they may be, will be tempted to realize this box of electronic plunder for all of its dubious glory.
