John Mayall has passed away

@stuartk 

It's all good - one doesn't have to be better than the other.

A bit off topic but if you like FM with P. Green then check out this one.

Back to Mayall - This one is a fun listen to somebody that never let age get in the way of good music and a good time.  Fortunately, I purchased mine b4 they became scarce - $heesh.  Check out who is standing to his left.

John certainly knew how to spot talent, he had the all top players who went into their own fame in his groups over the years.

RIP

Laurel Canyon was always my favorite. RIP. Mayall was the launching pad for so many great musicians, there has never been anyone quite like him.

I didn’t mean any disrespect, but when I plugged JM name into a search engine (I hadn’t heard his name in 50 years or so), the SE spat out an article on Toots etc. another example of AI run amok.  That gave me a laugh.

  I remember someone in my dorm had tha Bluesbreakers album and played it incessantly while trying to learn the guitar solo

Thanks. I'm familiar with both of those. 

I actually prefer the live Boston set to the other you mention. 

With both, I skip the J. Spencer stuff. 

The playing on the 70th anniversary set was better than I'd anticipated.
