Strategery Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Ha....when he leaned back in the beginning, he had that Andre the Giant look going on. :grin: You know, he wasn't a great player in today's terms, but he had a good touch and sound..not to mention a good vibe. I watch and listen to that tune and I think about seeing Skynyrd at Rickwood field in Birmingham along with Montrose & others on a July 4th in 1975. The last song of the night and a STAGE size Rebel flag drops down behind the behind the band and the fireworks start going off! THe whole while, Ronnie Van Zandt is belting them out bare footed. :grin: Man, the good old days! Randy "Just play!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdrs Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 sorry to dissagree, Strat, but I feel Leslie is a fantastic player to the standards of any era. He is one of the masters of playing "the right note", instead of playing many many notes in a meaningless display of technical virtuosity. Perhaps you might think of him as the BB King of Classic Rock. The Allman Bros used to say he's "hittin the note". Don "There once was a note, Pure and Easy.

Strategery Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Well, I didn't mean he isn't. I just meant nowdays there are so many more highly technical players and much faster. I'm not one of them. :grin: I won't take anything from his playing. I always liked his music. Randy "Just play!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdrs Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Trader....I missed Duane. At what time point is he in that video? Couple of comments....again, you can see it's a bit hard keeping a LP Jr. in tune....but it's so toneful!!! I think Leslie compensated for the "out of tune" while playing lead so that you don't notice it. But, when he hits chords, esp. later on in the song, it is a bit painful.... Felix appears to be playing an old Gibson violin bass. They are cool! And, this film is proof that some folks simply should NOT DANCE IN PUBLIC!! :grin: Don "There once was a note, Pure and Easy.

Dr. Ellwood Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Yeah, Felix played that Hoffner and also the SG EBO http://www.thestringnetwork.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdrs Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Ell...is Felix playing an SG Bass, or one of those early violin shaped body Gibson Basses, like Jack Bruce played in Cream??

mdrs Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Here's the one I thought Felix was playing; http://vintage-guitars.blogspot.com/2006/04/gibson-eb-1.html It's an EB-1, very few of which were made, between 1953 to 1958. I think there may be one in my basement...... :grin: btw...Jack Bruce was playing one in the reunion Cream shows a couple of years back. Don "There once was a note, Pure and Easy.

trader56 Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 MDRS, Daune appears at 6:43, 6:50, 7:05-07, 8:45, and 8:55. There's another clip from that same concert where they do Theme For An Imaginary Western, and the people reviewing the clip ask about Duane Allman in that one, too. As to the dancing, well, there's a few chicks that are kind of fun to watch! I loved the pipe smoking, and the people sneaking into the concert along the top of that wall or whatever it was, too, LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdrs Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I could be wrong, but that guy who's on stage left, behind Leslie in those shots you mentioned, sure doesn't look like Duane Allman to me.

Bejeeber Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 LOVED that video and how Leslie's ability to get inside the note and make it scream with joy was on full display. Just a pinch between the geek and chum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trader56 Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 MD, I can't be sure myself, but it was mentioned in the discussion of the clip, and it did look like him. Ready to part with that DVD yet, LOL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right Doc, I was wrong on that! it's a EB1 I used to play with a bass player who owned one, loads of sustain as I remember with them, not a bright bass sound but pretty cool! http://www.thestringnetwork.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
