    Palmer's solo perfectly illustrates the concept of 'less is more'. The opening held notes of his solo are just right. Clapton must have enjoyed that too.

      Phil's solo blew me away in 1990 and to this day I'm so grateful Clapton broke that string otherwise we might never of heard it, I even went as far a ripping it off a few years ago for a Jazz n' Blues festival it was great to play but not quite Phil

    • @blueshadow7385
      @blueshadow7385 3 роки тому +2

      I think he still play those pewter strats (he has had many of them). What made his sound so great back in 90 - 91 was that they had Fender Lace Sensors on his strats, and his amps were Soldano Racks. The Pickups he is now using is Fender Vintage Noiseless. His guitars now and then has this 25db mid boost circuit that are there to emulate tones of a Les Paul. I agree with you that his is Clapton at his peak and he never sounded better than this era. I think it has to do with the new pickups and amps he is using nowdays.

    • @CompleteCretin

      @@blueshadow7385 I loved that sound too. That Soldano SLO-100 (the 2nd was a spare) plus an almighty rack of various bits 'n' pieces. The whole lot was sold as one a few years ago. I liked those Strats with the LS fitted too. There's two in this video - the flame neck and the birdseye neck. The flame neck ended up on the black Strat from Oct 1990. Both of those were sold off too :(
      Saying all that I did love his tone at the Cream 2005 RAH gigs which was VN pups and a (modified) Twin.
      But the SLO years will always be a fave.

The string-snap shakes him out of it; he is required to modify his his focus, look at his hand and direct his attention to the culprit ... it's funny.
