Although never actually by his own name, Eric Clapton is represented 5 times.

Cream - "White Room" & "Crossroads"
John Mayall's Bluesbreakers - "Hideaway"
Derek & The Dominos - "Layla"
The Beatles - "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"

Jeff Beck three times:

"Freeway Jam"
"I Ain't Superstitious"
and with the Yardbirds on "Over Under Sideways Down"

Great song though,propably my fave song off At Fillmore east.
Or In memory of Elizabeth Reed

My thoughts exactly...you can add "Jessica" & "Ramblin' Man" as well.

"Oh Well" not being on this list is a travesty.

And, why they chose SRV's version of "Little Wing" over Jimi's own and that there's not one of SRV's own tunes on the list is puzzling
