Eric Clapton
Vinyl Record Memories.
Hot Rockabilly Guitar solo on
"Mean Woman Blues."
Eric Clapton vinyl record memories returns to 1985 and the Hot guitar solo Eric did while playing "Mean Woman Blues" with Carl Perkins and Dave Edmunds during the 1985 Blue Suede Shoes television special taped in London.
I first heard and saw this song performed by Elvis in the movie "Loving You" back in 1957. That remains one of my very favorite movie clips by Elvis.
Of all the Eric Clapton Songs played during this Special this jaw-dropping solo is by far worth the price of admission alone. Of course the tempo and arrangement from the movie song is quite different.
This version by Perkins and Clapton is pure Rockabilly and simple shows two legends just having fun.
Eric Clapton Vinyl Record Memories.
The real beauty of this concert is the almost magical effect that
Carl's presence had on all his famous guests. George Harrison, Eric
Clapton, Ringo Starr, Dave Edmunds, and Roseanne Cash deliver some of
the best performances of their careers as Perkins' music and enthusiasm
brings out the best in everybody on the stage!
Eric Clapton's
segment is dynamite as we watch him unleash some of the hottest guitar
solos he has played since his glory years in the late 60's. Clapton
TEARS IT UP with a scorching, jaw-dropping solo during "Mean Woman
Blues" that is worth the price of the DVD alone.
Side Bar: The lyrics have been noticeable changed in some parts but with flames coming off Eric's guitar I didn't pay much attention to the lyrics.
