Related: About this forumI've never seen John Mayall's Bluesbreakers in concert
But I have seen the following blues breaker alumni
Great guitarists like Walter Trout
(In fact, I will be seeing him again Friday night)
Carolyn Wonderland
Coco Montoya
Regarding the old 60s and 70s guitarists, I saw Eric Clapton way back when. There is no reason to share a clip from that dipshit. We all know who he is.
I saw Mick Taylor too, and he for sure deserves spot here
Not a Bluesbreaker guitarist but I saw Aynsley Dunbar with Starship, Ronnie Montross and Pat Travers.
Last but not least, I saw Jack Bruce on tour with BLT

It wasn't a whole show, but in around '74, The Midnight Special filmed a few episodes at the field house at University of Chicago.
The current incarnation of the Bluesbreakers was one of around 12 bands.
They only played 2 or 3 songs.
John was playing a Fender 12 string electric. Oddly, he hung the guitar on his right shoulder. I kept waiting for it to slip down, but it never did.

Albert was really active too' but he kept control of his telecaster.
I thought he'd have dropped it, but he never did
Edited to correct obvious mistake. Typed the wrong Albert
