eric greeny and duane
whoever hods the keys to Tom Dowds recordings may have3 an answer to the greeny Duane tapes
I too believe that clapton was at his best as a sideman
In Blind Faith he was an acomplice
great recordings with Mayall,Steve Stills, the Beatles, the list goes on
Alone he was more the pop persona whether he wanted it or not
but it is also true that it is very hard to front a band and be the soloist/accompaniest. it has so much more resposibility/ multi tasking at a very high level. Very few are up to that task or even want to do it.
It can be said that Peter too wanted to be the ultimate sideman. all the fun without the pressure.
Duane shared the experience of being an able sideman. Thats what makes for a good musician, not just a star
