"They were full of energy and obviously influenced by people like Jimmy Reed and Chuck Berry, a rock and roll band with blues overtones. 'I Shot the Sherriff,' every solo he's taken on tribute TV specials: Hyper-dud. He's been on autopilot for nearly 40 years. I'm gonna go blast "Lazy Poker Blues" now to remind me further of how overrated Clapton is. So sad that we never got a proper follow-up to one of the greatest records. I've used this example before, but just look at the difference in playing style between Robbie Robertson and Eric Clapton in "Further On Up The Road" during The Last Waltz... Clapton is all fingers; very articulate, but little soul. Now that latter statement I can't agree with.

Jeff Beck was, in his own way, perhaps almost as much of a controlled player as Clapton, but Clapton is always the one fingered as having no soul. Just watching them, people could tell they were really connecting with audiences. and SRV (whom he said he loved initially, but got bored with quickly), he felt that Jeff Beck was definitely the least talented of the group, and that Clapton was able to play his own stuff and the styles of the other 3 at least as well, and in his opinion, better than they could.
