Eric Clapton - Beano LP & Fresh Cream
Mike Bloomfield - Super Session, Live Adventures
Freddie King - His early hits on a Goldtop w/P90's
Allman Brother Band - Live at Fillmore East
Rolling Stones - with Mitch Taylor on Les Paul
Chris Cain - Live at the Rep

Do bootlegs count? :hmm

I love Duane's Fillmore East tone but actually prefer the live stuff on some of my bootlegs-the tone seems rawer, riper and the overtones are sick.:jim

+1000

 

[Black58]

Wanna hear some ripping, ripe tone with jazzy effortlessness? Barry Bailey of the Atlanta Rhythm Section on the songs "Spooky" and "Lets Go Get Stoned" from the album Underdog! :jim :headbange :3zone

I'll haveta check that out. :salude

JP, Since I've Been Loving You... nevermind.... that's a tele song...

 

[sharq attaq]

Dunno how Jeff Beck wasn't mentioned.....I forgot him too.

he was (briefly) on post # 11.

Looky....I'm 53 yrs old, and if you don't think Slash's Appetite tone is among the best (I don't care if it's a burst, a Norlin, or a repro), you don't like thick, OD LP tone.....)

And I'm not talking about technique....wasn't this about tone?

Also, this tone seeped over into "Use Your Illusion II" seriously...maybe my favorite Slash moment on "You Could Be Mine". About as good as it gets, IMO....tonewise.

AFAIK Slash plays a BC Rich on YCBM, even on live footage (tour in Japan...)

James Gang - Live
Cactus - One Way Or Another
Bluesbreakers with Eric
Blues from Laurel Canyon, Mick kills it tonewise on this one.
Any Zep with a burst, or a Tele ;~)

 

[Jackyrhode]

That first Allman Bros album.

 

[qcvol]

Live version of Take the Highway and Ramblin from Marshall Tucker Band's Where We All Belong. It may well be a 335 but I'm pretty sure it's a LP.

Paul Kossoff: Too many to name....The Stealer, All Right Now, Fire And Water.

Yes! I'm surprised I had to go this far to find someone who mentioned Kossoff.

The Isle Of Wight '70 tone frequently tries to come and kill me in my sleep! :headbange

i love and admire the tone from the wizard of waukesha - if you don't mind to call him that way.

his recordings and tone were outstanding. not to mention that even today after centuries of guitar evolution only a few players are able to copy his techniques. remember ... alabamy bound or world is waiting for a sunrise? ... earcandy

as the reverend already said: without him we would still play acoustics and listen to music in mono.

 

[dean69]

... but there was one who really influenced me with his sound, if not already mentioned

Tom Scholz and the first two boston albums - legendary
