    The video story:
    I got pulled into making this video by a great question from a member of five watt world. I came back around to studying the great blues artists AFTER spending years listening to jazz players playing bop ideas over blues changes at all levels. But working on my theory and playing took me back to the roots and I was amazed at the levels of detail in their playing. It's almost bottomless! And that gives me confidence that I'll always be able to learn more down that road.
    We'll see if the album histories take off maybe we'll make some more.
    I hope you enjoy it. Let me know.
    Until next time, thanks for being a part of the five watt world.
    Keith

    My friend John and I saw The Bluesbreakers with Eric, play live at a pub in N. London called The Golders Green Refectory. At the gig Mayall announced that they had just finished recording an album that day at Decca, it turned out to be the Beano album. There was about fifty people at that gig and we spoke to Eric and Hugh Flint in the toilets. They could'nt believe that we had hitchhiked from Cardiff (150 miles) just to see them, they bought us a pint. Those were the days.

    In 67, as a High School jr, in Queens, a friend whose mother was English, turned me on to the Beano album. He'd been in London and came back raving about two things: the Who and Clapton. I was gobsmacked.I became a blues freak from then on. I literally spent the rest of my high school weekends at the Filmore East. I have seen the best players up close but my passion has always been English blues. This is the best Beano doc. Great Work. Now, onward to Mike Bloomfield !!

  • @stuarthecht8196
    @stuarthecht8196 3 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    The Beano album with Eric Clapton is THE definitive Blues Breakers LP. Although I also love the two following LPs, A Hard Road and Crusade, featuring guitarists Peter Green and Mick Taylor respectively, the Clapton album stands far above everything else in Mayall's catalog. My favorite thing to do when listening to the Beano album is to mute the "band-side" channel during the guitar solos so that you can only hear Clapton's guitar, as the classic 60's stereo mix often puts the guitar on one side only. Certain songs, such as "Have You Heard," feature Clapton's blistering guitar solo coming out of one speaker with absolutely nothing else in that speaker, so that when you separate it, it's extremely intense, especially those long-held notes with Clapton's vibrato. Insanely amazing album!

    Keith, I spent years acquiring guitars, amps, and (so many) pedals chasing various tones, including purchasing and lugging around a Leslie that I used on just a few songs. Now whenI get tempted to acquire more gear I sit down and practice for a while and accept that the only thing that makes me a better sounding player is spending time PLAYING the instruments that I already own. Thank you for another great video, but mostly for reminding us that the great players got that way by playing and developing their own styles.

      I agree, once you get a GOOD guitar and amp. I can remember struggling when in my teens, and all the while saving my $. When I was able to own a guitar that felt like shaking hands with an old friend it changed things significantly. It may be half psychological, but for me exists nonetheless. When I added a good amp, and I am just talking about a used Hot Rod Deluxe, I truly yearned to practice and play every second.

      Spartanm333, it was during a live BBC programme called the Lulu show in January 1969 that Jimi played Voodoo Chile, and then was meant to play Hey Joe with singer Lulu joining Jimi for a planned “duet”. Jimi and the Experience started Hey Joe but stopped the song and made a dedication to The Cream (who had just split up) and tore into a version of Sunshine of your love, going past the point (time wise) where Lulu might have joined the band, and indeed played through the time allocated for talking at the end. The producer was apparently pointing to his watch and silently screaming at the band to stop. The clip is widely available on the Internet.

    Great video. I'm fascinated with the history of the music of those times. At the time so many things get done without intense thought or as part of a plan. Someone lights a cigarette and smokes it just because he wants one but maybe that cigarette lends an edge to a voice that years later becomes a factor that can in no way be ascertained with any kind of certainty. Add all those random acts together, especially in recorded music, and you can, and want to, listen to that totality of actions for the rest of your life.

    Hi Keith - First off thanks again for your excellent videos, and 'The Beano Album: A Short History' is especially good. I thought I'd tell you a Clapton story from just a little before that time which people might find interesting. On 6th June, 1964, when I was 16 I went to see the Yardbirds at the Trade Union Hall in Watford, England, especially to hear this fantastic guitarist we'd heard about.
    Well, there he (God) was, up there on the stage about twenty feet or so from us at the front left side. I have a photographic memory, and I remember EC was playing something like a Hofner (!) but behind him propped up on a cane chair was either a red Gibson 330 or 335 - a real hot item in those days in England especially! Well, right on the end of a solo, EC stepped back across the stage and crashed that brand new 330/335 off the chair and onto the floor, and broke the neck. He was devastated, as you can imagine and wasn't the same for the rest of the evening! But being a teenager at that time and seeing EC close up made a huge impression and of course the guitar was IT from then on... unfortunately for me the talent didn't come with it! Cheers 😀

    Good job with this one Keith. Hell, what am I talking about , you always do a good job with your research and everything that goes with putting one of these together.

    Keith, this is a great video. I don’t know how you can pack so much information into such a short span of time, but you do so consistently. On this effort, I heard and saw a lot of familiar material, corrected a lot of misinformation I had accumulated over the years, surprised me with a lot of new information I really appreciate, and left me in the end with a renewed excitement about a record I haven’t listened to in years. Thanks again.

    Love that album. The first notes of the solo to “All Your Love” give me goosebumps during my air guitar. I much prefer the mono version too, just seemed more immediate than the stereo version. Thanks Keith, and all those involved, great video and history of a trusty great album.

      Yup, the stereo version sounds a bit ‘manufactured’, probably because some of the ‘freestyle’ elements had to be, more or less, replicated and the relevant track(s) remixed.. See, also, my comment, above.

    What a fun video Keith! I got to play that beano reissue guitar at Chicago music exchange in I think 2012. I actually played it into a Marshall head and a full stack but I am not sure if both cabs were on now. I remember it sounded very bright, but I had no experience with the controls on either piece of gear. I fiddled with it, but I sounded bad. They displayed the guitar on top of a large piano, and it was 8995.99. I left thinking I wasn’t too impressed but that was really because I just couldn’t play the thing well enough which goes to your point about the guys playing what notes they did. Thanks for your videos man!

    Eric Clapton was the reason I wanted to learn guitar. Took a week of guitar at music camp the summer before third grade, learned a very watered down version of Layla, and demanded that my classically trained, band director father get me a guitar. I even had an Eric Clapton greatest hits eight-track in the old Chevy pickup I drove in high school. Clapton was god to me then, though nowadays he is more like Zeus in my pantheon of guitar gods.

    Keith, as always, I am impressed by the level of research and insight you bring to these videos. The Beano record is one of my favorites. When I was cutting my teeth as a guitarist in high school I used to rush home from school to jam along to that record with my Les Paul Studio and a Marshall combo (it was a JCM 800, but it was close enough for me at the time). I still think Clapton’s tone and playing on that record is among his best. Thanks for plugging my band, Exebelle, as well. My bandmate, Phil Heesen, got me that Five-Watt World mug for Christmas and I love it. I swear that coffee actually tastes better in that mug! Keep up the great work.

    I always regarded "For Your Love" as the B side of "Got to Hurry". That was the side that I played the grooves off. The album was known to me as the "Mayall/Clapton" album.
    Never heard it called the "Beano" album until the internet came along and noobs started going on about "God" as a sign of belonging.
    I had some Bluesbreakers Decca singles bought from a little record shop tucked under the skirts of the ABC cinema on the crest of Muswell Hill.
    I always wanted to hear the straight poop on those saxes employed to ape Eric's low end chordal punctuation.
    It was almost an article of faith that Eric's reading of Hideaway was a single unbroken take and it certainly gained from the sympathetic contribution of the McVie and Mayall.
    Standing outside the Manor House that summer waiting to be let in to listen to Peter Green, I clearly recall John McVie getting off a bus (probably a 19 or a 38, I don't recall) carrying his P bass.
    Just the P Bass, not in a case, not even in a brown paper bag. Fortunately it was a dry evening it has to
    And it has to be said, I was never a big Mayall fan, even in the early days.
    The record that had the most impact back then was the eponymous first Paul Butterfield Blues Band album.
    It has always been in my top five, always will be.
