the guitar break in les fleur de lys version of 'circles'

[bungo the mungo]

jaw-dropping.

it starts at around 1:29 if you prefer to skip to it.

quite possibly the best ever. food for thought at the very least.

Sloppy as hell, but not without charm.

Big fan, skope, but I think my neighbors prefer this one, for their shronkage per dollar value:
(Phil Sawyer laid down some great Beckian, pre Hendrix sonics, all done with volume and spacing oneself in front of overdriven amp, no stompboxes)
but alas we are amongst the few who care
play it loud

Fleur De Lys - Mud In Your Eye 1966

i listened to an interview with les fleur de lys drummer the other day.

he and the bass player shared a flat with hendrix and jammed with him at the speakeasy. apparently their version of 'circles' was very much off the cuff and they came up with their arrangement only 24 hours before the recording session.

they were also the UK house band for atlantic records.

I like the drums as well.

Not sure it's the best ever.....
