The bands I played in where we featured music like those on your list were the bands I remember most fondly.
And the ones where we had the best audience connection.
I’ve drifted more towards bluegrass these last few years but still like rocking out.
that is a wonderful cover, IMO

Nobody could play Little Wing like SRV.
I played in a “garage band” back in the 60s. That was one of my favorite songs. Fun to play and fun to sing.
There’s something refreshing about Portnoy’s attitude, he genuinely enjoys playing, and feeding off of the other band members’ energy.
It is a sign of the consumate professional musician that they improvise through mishaps. I once heard that Larry Carlton had a string break in the middle of the set. To the audiences apprehensive gasps, he pulled out a — WIRE CUTTER — snipped off two MORE strings, and delivered a blistering ad lib solo until the roadies could get another guitar ready.
Rumor, but I believe it.
First song I ever learned on my Hondo Les Paul knockoff. I used to riff with it with a copy of Machine Head I had. On vinyl.
