Delaney & Bonnie with Eric Clapton & George Harrison - 1969-12-10 - Copenhagen, Denmark (SBD)

1969 - As discussed in several earlier posts here at So Many Roads, Eric Clapton quickly grew tired on being in Blind Faith. During that band's only tour in 1969, EC found himself spending more time with opening act Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett than he was with Winwood and Baker! Once the tour ended, EC left Blind Faith and joined up with Delaney & Bonnie. This soundboard recording finds EC on tour with Delaney & Bonnie on December 10, 1969, 52 years ago today! Also on stage is Clapton's good friend, George Harrison!

Delaney & Bonnie and Friends - 1971-07-22 - New York, NY (FM)

For years, whenever I thought of Delaney and Bonnie and Friends, the friend that would always spring to mind is Eric Clapton. While on tour with Blind Faith in 1969, Clapton invited Delaney and Bonnie Bramlet to be the opening act. By the end of the tour, EC had parted ways with Blind Faith and would join Delaney and Bonnie! Clapton was just one rock legend, however, who would work closely with the Bramlets. Early in their career, they would work with Leon Redbone, Donald "Duck" Dunn and Issac Hayes. In 1970, the would be part of the Festival Express tour of Canada with Janis Joplin, The Band and The Grateful Dead. In January 1971, Duane Allman. Guitar God extraordinaire, sat in with Delaney and Bonnie at two shows at the Capitol Theater in Portchester NY. Then on July 22, 1971, 46 years ago today, Delaney and Bonnie played a show from A&R studios in New York, with some help from Duane, brother Gregg, and King Curtis. This WPLJ-FM broadcast of that show captures both their acoustic and electric sets, including an incredible 18 minute jam on Only You Know and I Know. Listen and you'll know why every list you can find rates Duane as one of the 10 best guitarists of all time.
