Recording

edit

At the time, the recording setup was credited as being the Rolling Stones mobile studio, and not Ronnie Lane's. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bbefilms (talkcontribs) 03:51, 15 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Clapton used The Gibson Les Paul Lucy for the concert

edit

Clapton who had had his main guitar a Gibson Les Paul up till 1973 actually the Gibson Les Paul continued to be his main guitar untill 1974 When he first recorded a song with a Stratocaster. As he had given the Gibson Les Paul to George Harrison he felt he needed to borrow something special for the concert. This was absolutely fine with George Harrison who had almost exclusively recorded with Fender Stratocaster since the End of 1964 and would continue to use the Stratocaster almost exclusively for recording electric guitar for the rest of his life. They accounted George Harrison owned 350 Fender Stratocasters at his death in 2001. Stratocasters he had bought with his own money since he was against sponsorship. He did not want to sell his name. He was Happy though to be interviewed for the official Fender Stratocaster book for 7 days, a book he as a Beatle got the lion part of. George Harrison is known as ” The biggest fan of the Fender Stratocaster of all musicians” in the music world. 2A00:801:797:6E4E:B870:F8D9:323B:546B (talk) 21:34, 31 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
