In fact we had almost enough songs for a full set on drinking/drugs. Red,Red Wine, Cocaine (both the JJ Cale one and the real old one) and many more.
Who is the gal playing with him? Debbie Davis?

He puts a capo at the 7th fret and sets that Telecaster on the real bright, tinny, trebly bridge pick up. Back in 1969 I modified a Telecaster with a Gibson humbucking neck pick up like he seems to have but I could never get used to playing just on that screaming bridge pick up.
