Topic: When I was twenty...
I didn't have tone like that...ugh...quintessential pure tone...
Joe was killer at twenty, but this seems like a man who has lived three lifetimes on guitar. Madness.

Re: When I was twenty...
yep
I have seen that full concert on DVD and Kossoff is fantastic, he done for the Les paul
what Hendrix did for the stratocaster IMO when I think of a les paul sound I think first Kossoff then Bonnamassa . too bad KOSSOFF AND HENDRIX were not here for the long haul, SRV too, why does tragedy seem to rob us of our greatest.

It is the Free: Forever dvd.
or
You can get the two disc set that has the Isle of Wight performances too.
Both versions have this Granada tv set though - five songs.

Listen to that solo tone come in at 2.20...goddamn...that is one of the best examples of that woodiness of a LP coming through...you can feel it all working together - simple...limit the things that get in the way...the tone of the fingers, guitar and amp will shine through.

Re: When I was twenty...
Thanks for the tips on the DVD. Definately worth getting for me so much great stuff to take in.
I mean, I've always admired Simon Kirke's drumming and he was my inspiration to get a kit. Minimal set up, I mean look at it! But what a clatter.
So thanks Dave for the intial link it has been a breathtaking watch.
BTW did you also look at the RARE Japanese tour version of 'Heartbreaker'. Koss had dropped out by then - incapable - and Paul Rodgers took on the duties at the last minute. The vid is terrible quality admittedly, but he does a good job. No Koss of course, but be fair, he is still belting it out - with that voice at the same time.
He is a good player as I saw for myself later with Bad Co. sharing duties with Mick Ralphs, but I had always wanted to see that Japanese footage, but as we know, what he does best is with the mic.
