I consider this the authoritative performance of this underrated classic. Clapton's guitar and Winwood's Leslie-drenched organ on top of a Ric Grech and Ginger Baker foundation create something special, truly greater than the sum of its parts. I love the remastered/extended version of this record so much.

I saw Fleetwood Mac at their reunion at the Classic West concert at Dodger Stadium in 2017. Excellent show!

Here's a pic of Clapton from his show in LA, also in 2017.

I'm a fan of Simon & Garfunkel. I like their song "America," it's a classic that isn't appreciated enough even by S&G fans.

But I'll be honest. The English prog rock band Yes stole the song away from them and made it their own.

I love this studio recording best of all:

I went through a "progressive rock" phase in college and listened to a lot of Yes, Rush, Jethro Tull, Boston, Genesis, etc. That was when I *knew* I was smarter and more sophisticated than all the plebeians around me... ::facepalm::

Eventually, I came back to Earth and went back to my roots:

As an aging 80's metalhead guitar player, I've always liked the technical "shredder" players from purely a fan's point of view. This girl won the award for the best female guitarist of 2019. Now, before anybody gets offended, she's just having fun with a Michael Jackson song & is wearing zombie makeup like the Thriller video ... she literally didn't miss a single note in this whole song - she is the real deal & her technique is stellar. Seeing these elite players make it look so easy makes me want to sell all my guitar gear and take up gardening ...

I’m not sure whether this fits the rock genre but I’m not sure it doesn’t, either. Whatever genre you want to put it into, its simply great music, by some great talented musicians. Ry Cooder, Flacco Jimenez, Van Dyke Parks and company.........

Ken and John 👍👍!! Ry Cooper— slide guitar genius!! Gary Rossington from original Lynyrd Skynyrd (my favorite band-pre plane crash ) was heavily influenced by Ry..👍👍 people say Gary’s playing style is a cross between Ry Cooder and Paul Kossoff of “Free”..(Paul Rodger’s band before Bad Company)

Here's four of the most talented pre-teens from all over the world playing a super technical Andy Timmons song. FFW to the last 2 minutes - I find it uplifting to see such young people with this kind of proficiency on any instrument ...
