I'm not as dismissive of Clapton as dino seems to be...Eric plays & sings from his soul, as well. (and his singing gets better every album, IMO)

OH...and let's not forget who this thread is SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT..


DANNY KIRWAN!!!!

(yet another Kirwan thread hijacked by Peter Green discussion)

Sure do.....Paul Kossoff, but that's for his guitar playing, not for his singing. Same goes for Snowy White and Les Harvey (Stone The Crows). And of course all the magnificent old blues legends (not the modern white bluesrock heroes!!!!).

Overall IMHO it's useless to argue about which players are "best". Green and Hendrix had rather different approaches, both neither was into "cutting contests" and there surely was mutual admiration there.
Actually Peter Green was not afraid to "jam" with anyone, nor was Hendrix. I'm sure you've heard the Peter Green banter at the Boston Tea Party 2/70 about English guitarists who are too afraid to show their chops against one-another, just before Joe Walsh plays with FM for a "jam"? Peter Green certainly had no problems playing with Duane Allman, he jammed with him after leaving FM in 11/70.

If you listen to the tapes (Grateful Dead/Allman Brothers/ certain FM members), from the Fillmore East 2/11/70, Owsley Stanley (Bear) cuts out Peter Green on many occasions to make Jerry Garcia sound like he was there. If you really hear the Dark Star-Spanish Jam-Turn On Your Lovelight jam, it became a Duane Allman/Peter Green jam. Yet if you hear how Bear mixed the recording, he gave Duane Allman the advantage.

Can't see that anyone has claimed he was .
Hendrix loved to jam with anyone. He would have jammed with a tap dancer given the chance.

Yes, that Grateful Dead jam is disappointing.

Actually, Peter said during his time with Splinter Group that jamming with Clapton in the early days was a bit nerve wrecking.
Still, in general I think he was very into jamming. But that kind of musical socializing depends on who get together. The same way we get along differently with different people.
