Peter Frampton Peter Frampton

Clapton's blues style was very sophisticated and charming. Very 'on the money'. Hendrix comes over. His playing wasn't ugly, but it was more ballsy. A little out of tune, but it was full of passion. I think its his passion that I love most of all. Jimi came up onstage to jam with this local band, and he just took the guitar from the guitarist and turned it upside down, leaving the strings reversed - and played it perfectly. We had thought Clapton was God, but this was a quantum leap, nobody had ever heard a sound like this before. On this song you were pulled in by those little riffs he was doing, he wasn’t overplaying at all - until he got to the solo, and then he really gave us the gun, and it was ‘Oh my God!’
