It's time for the last post of the month, this one concerning the 46th anniversary of a megaclassic bootleg documenting a megamusician at his megalithic peak.
This little hour of Rock/Jazz comes from the original BBC transcription reels and if the music suits never decide to officially release it they -- whoever they are -- need to put down the crack pipe.
Today's hero began in The Yardbirds in the mid-1960s and progressed quickly into his own bag, which is something like an inverted Fusion with Jazz chops and Rock lyrics and feeling.
Since his first solo stuff in like 1968 he's been one of the most universally loved and emulated guitar slingers nameable.
Needless to mention, he's still at it and still and still revered.
So here's this bootleg, famous as it is. It's probably the best we're gonna do for now until the clowns of the music industry care enough to do it. Don't hold your breath, folks.
