Buddy Guy Eric Clapton & either Keith Richards or Mike Bloomfield?

As a big EC fan I have seen this pic a few times. I'm pretty sure it's BB King, Eric, and... Elvin Bishop? Not sure of the location - I would guess the Whiskey a Go Go, but not certain. No idea what they're playing either, I've always assumed it was just a jam!

I go along with C. Michael Bailey and Andy and say it's B.B. King, Clapton and Elvin Bishop.

And yes I would love to hear what they're playing.

It looks like Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton and Keith Richards to me.

B.B King, Eric Clapton and probably Elvin Bishop (my first instinct was Bloomfield, but Elvin seems more likely for some reason. It definitely ain't Beck or Richards who never had curly wiry hair like that). Come on, put us out of our misery!

From left to right: The Great B.B. KING teaching Eric Clapton and Keith Richards how to play a good blues!

The photo is from 1967 in New York and it's B.B. King, Clapton and Elvin Bishop.

Now, the only question left is if Dave has a recording of that get together.

Dave, if there is no recording of the 3 of them together, I would like to request the Paul Butterfield blues band (w/ Bloomfield and Bishop). There's some soundboard recordings goin' around from S.F and Boston in '66.
thanks

Yes, it's B.B. King, Eric Clapton and Elvin Bishop in New York. And it's not 1968, it's 1967.

BB King, Eric Clapton and Paul Butterfield at at New York's Cafe Au Go Go in 1967.

Fred said...

I would guess the third is Peter Green.

DanielK said...

No, my bad, it is Elvin Bishop.

King, Clapton & Bishop

King, Clapton and Bishop. I believe it was taken at the Cafe Au Go Go in New York City by Michael Ochs with Getty Images.

Could this mean we're gonna get the boot of this? I'm pretty sure there's one out there somewhere.

The one on the far right could be our famous Dave. ;-)
