Alan plays the bottleneck and lead for most of the song. Henry has a solo in the middle. This info is from an email that Skip Taylor sent me so I think it's rather definitive on this matter! I was so lucky he answered my question which was the same that folks are asking here. Alan's playing is stunning. Henry is quite cool too. Both at the top of their game I would say. Alan was the genius behind it all, I think everyone would agree. This bottleneck is breathtaking.
Al on the slide solo..breathtaking....and Henry in the pocket...thanks for posting..never heard before..peace and bright boogie moments for all of us and you to
Love this song!!!! Savoy Brown did a kick ass live version on Blue Matter with Lonesome Dave doing the vocal honors. Thank goodness for places like UA-cam, where we can keep this music forever. Long live the blues!!!!!
When the Mole forced the Sunflower out of Canned Heat and replaced him with The Snake, The Blind Owl threatened to quit and join Savoy Brown unless the Sunflower was rehired. Eventually the Blind Owl prevailed, the Sunflower came back and then the Mole quit!
@PolyesterPam Live at Topanga Canyon around 1968 I think.I met these guys a few times when I was hanging out working the Rock festival circuit and they were always real regular guys.last time I talked to them was a show they did at winterland with QMS in 197????1?and both bands looked great but soon after Bear and Dino Valenti kissed the baby.What a sad end to great players.I was lucky enough to see Blind Owl a few times and he was the first to go.
Classic blues , canned Heat, play that's song with their style .making one escellent and diferent cover .remarkable and the guitar Solo ist unforgettable.
That doesn't sound like Alan. This sounds like one string sliding with a pick, Alan played finger picking bottleneck, a different sound completely. Not Alan...
Surely some of the most haunting and heartfelt slide guitar playing

This is the best version of this song I’ve heard yet!
The Best versión This Blues 🎸🎹🥁
Fucking love this song , bought 2 cd albums for in my car, heard a cannrd heat song from a woodstock video and since than hooked 25years old✌✌
damn shame they aint around today...we could use a crew like this at the n.y. harvest fest, nobody can play the blues NOMO
Vestine's solo begins at about 4:52.
Joohn Cipollina , Vestine & Jerry Miller from Moby Grape are my favorite white guy 60's rock etc. guitarists.
My favorite
The Stones do a nice rendition of this on 'Jamming With Edward'. Ry Cooder plays slide with the Stones.
Wow!
This guitar sounds much like GUN CLUBS Anger Blues ?
What do you think ?
It's not Wilson playing lead guitar - it would surely have been Vestine!
Il me semble que cette version est très légerement différente que celle de Topanga Corral ( j'ai le disque ).
Anybody knows where it was recorded?

& Clarence White .
@miralgo-agreed, you can definately tell thats the sunflower

It’s Alan P90s super open and amp cranked sounds ice picky when cranked,his phrasing is obvious in this and his two finger picking at end of solo
