Cool Early inspiration Freddy King to be inducted into R'nR HOF

Among the inductees to the the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame this year is Freddy King - how cool would it be to have John Mayall with John McVie and Mick Fleetwood (it would be easier to stay with one drummer, rather than try and recreate the original line-up for each guitarist) backing Clapton, Green and Mick Taylor -
Clapton could start it off with 'Hide Away'
Then Green would step up to perform 'The Stumble'
and Taylor could play 'Driving Sideways'

For an encore, the three could trade leads on 'San-Ho-Zay' -

Three musicians inspired by King who went on to inspire generations with their own sounds

I know it would never happen, but it is fun to think about -

Although I am not as big a fan of his as I am of the other three, it only seems fair to mention their contemporary, Stan Webb, of Chicken Shack who also covered many of King's numbers, including three on Chicken Shack's debut LP, 'Lonesome Whistle Blues', 'San-Ho-Zay' and 'See See Rider'. Webb also came closest to duplicating King's sound - though I do not believe the others were trying to.
