I got goosebumps. This has been such a special event for guitar players who love to hear these instruments and not only see an investment in these iconic pieces

Wow, bringing that Kossoff vibrato back! Very cool playing and guitars, sir!

Great blues playing. I could listen to that all day long. And that LP. Gawd. That's a work of art.

Nice one Phil that really digs deep 🤪👍😁🎸🇬🇧

This proves that yes the guitars are important but it’s the player who brings the magic.

My mate is a guitar dealer and we attended the Kempton Guitar Show about 3 years ago may be 4 anyway Phil always came over to talk to us and on the last occasion he brought his own 59 Les Paul with him and said you can have a go if you want so I promptly went to the Lazy J amp table where he was demoing the amps and deafening everyone! And asked could I have a go with the guitar he said sure gave it to me and I promptly took it back to our stall where we had a play with it for about 10 mins , so thanks Phil it was an experience I won’t get to have again I doubt .

Why have I never heard of this bloke before,he`s stunning.

Excellent!!!!

Phil bought one of Paul's Standards off a mate of mine Terry Newman at the time his daughter Claire had just been born in the mid 70s . It was a dark fronted burst and I had built a little solid state practice amp for Terry . Before Paul and Terry ,l it apparently belonged to Eric Clapton . His band " PowerPack " was resident at the Bridgehouse and were moving to the Dustbin ( Ruskin ) Arms in East Ham , then the Green Man at Leytonstone . Terrys rendition of " All Right Now " was renowned like much of everything else he sang and played. In those days he learned 6 new numbers a week by ear which you had to do to keep playing 4 nights a week at the same venue. Phil went to Terry's House in Tudor Road East Ham to pick it up . I think Terry ended up with a LP Custom and a couple of hundred quid . Yes , I used to towel it down and case it after Terry's gigs like the Standard . He sold the Custom in 1979 I think when Dick was building a " DK Black Beauty " for Terry . Terry had used it to replace a cherry Gibson 335 and the dark burst came along at the right price . I think he borrowed the money off his Dad . Terry was no luthier at the time but his dad Frank was a real lovely multi skilled gentleman in every sense of the word . Terry and I worked for the same company Cape Contracts in Barking but I am 10 years his junior . It was a pretty common sight at the Bridgehouse to see all sorts of names turn up after local gigs , like Rory and Gary who I met during Colliseum 2 at NELP in Dageham . Terry had a day job and despite offers from all sorts of bands . On the Bridgehouse website there is a picture of Terry playing and singing around 1970 on his 335 , that too had some history behind it, but it was common for guitarists to sell off and try to buy back when work was short or for any other reason , and you can hear Kossies other Standard which is now in America on the Cloud . Its Terry Numan playing and singing Uriah Heeps " July Morning " . Terry is still gigging with Dave and sometimes with his son Oliver who also plays of course and has a number of guitars from Dick Kinight , early Jackson Charvels , and the collection still grows and he uses Friedman Browneyes , not Tweed Clones like Phil . Les Paul's and Marshalls are the only way to fly . A BE is a superbly built amp based around Marshall topography . He has number 5 of the other great players guitar builds , Dave Edwards , another friend from way back . If you search KZfaq for Dave Edwards and Guest you will see Terry and Dave who , dare I say it , both would have demonstrated these guitars much better than Phil and sang the numbers too , to a very high standard . Note Terry's fretting style , as he has smaller dumpier fingers than Phil . Terry is now 75 and lives in his studio home in Billericay , Essex.

FANTASTIC - So glad to see these pieces in the collection of someone who knows how to use them. It's like having one of Picasso's paintbrushes

It's has been Awoken again ....:-) goosebumps

Great to hear those babies sing....Hat's off to Phil and the team...

Yea, I've been to the Surrey Tavern, the Oval, we knew it as the Cricketers. Iconic local pub in Kennington. Lots of great music happened there, ditto Half Moon, Father Redcap, Two Brewers, all sarf Landon. Those who were privy, know. Now to my knowledge, all gone along with the music and the priceless musicians who entertained and deeply inspired us. On to Greeny. No question, Phil did the guitar more than justice, made me finally realise it's both the player and the tone inherent in the instrument. However. Phil's demo also proves once again just how GOOD Peter Green was, as if we never doubted that (I didn't). Phil's certainly an amazing player, but on this demo unable to hold and find the critical notes on those blues bends that Green was a master of, the man who actually rarely if ever failed to find note perfect with genuine feel.

Love that nasally almost hollow sound that you just can't get get out of new LPs. This is awesome!!! Thanks for sharing.

Phil Harris is an excellent player.

That replica Sounded fine and for a fraction of the cost! Yes I would much rather have a old original 59 But at least it shows me the Replica's can be just good as good sounding😎

I would love see that million dollar iconic Les Paul could have gone through a vintage Marshall !! Excellent in any form !!

Played with love, reverence, skill and restraint. Thank you for a respectful performance.

Great Artist he knows the Blues.

Hey man ! I’m a big fan of your collection and wondered if you will be over this year , would love to see the Korina v or even the new red tele !

Hey. That looks just like kirk hammets guitar

That greeny replica actually sounds pretty good. Wonder whose pickups they are, and which pots/caps/bridge.

Would love to know what OD pedal was used.

A question for anyone; don't all these guitars (335, Stats, Les Pauls, etc..) sound mostly the same as each other? I mean, I feel that the amp and its setting have WAY more impact on any tonal differences between these guitars than the year. So, I don't understand why people cherish an older Les Paul vs a new one.

👍👍

so who made Phil's replica Peter Green Les Paul? anyone knows? thanks

And now it' s the Kirk Hammit Les Paul.

The real hero in this video is the bass player. Could someone please tell me his name. He is a musical genius!

It just sounds like any distorted guitar. That wouldn't have worried B B king.

I thought kirk hammett of mettalica owned this infamous '59 honeyburst.

24:19 LOL

Hey Phil, do you mind not eating the mic?

The audience wants to hear agadoo

Must hear Joe B. playing the Green/Moore LP. Its not quite the magic tone Gary laid on us but its in tune at least.

1. I'm hearing an "Out Of Phase" sound here & there. Is this when both pickups are on & one of the Humbuckers are "Reversed Wound" ? 2. i LIKE this guy's Kossoff-Like Guitar playing.

Now Kirk Hammett owns Greeny...💚🎸

17:02 who is it?

Not really surprised that Gary whipped the guitar away from him 🙉💩

Did he put the water bottle on the amplifier..................

Koss' Les Paul sounds fantastic even if it's not played that well.

Well he's got the guitar at least.

Some things are just better left alone. These guitars are just guitars without the magic of their original owners.

Do you know what amp was used by Phil Harris during this event? Looks like a Fender but I what model.

Is that a Lazy J Bassman?

If you’re going to be the Custodian, handle them like an Egg Phil .

don´t look so sad during you playing this rare and most expensive guitar

Does anyone know a guitar builder in the UK who could make a Les Paul better than a standard Gibson Les Paul?

The bassman forgot his ears at home.

Come on is the replica a giffin?

And now Kirk is the Custodian of ‘Greenie…’ Apparently the frets are so worn, but everyone’s afraid to modify the guitar by changing them. WUSS, heheh

Wish he had used a better amp. those old pickups have much more in them, than that amp is delivering. Probably a pedal involved too.

I want that 93 Wolverine shirt

what is history of pinhole in body near the neck pickup 22nd fret wire notice Kossof's has one in exactly the same place

Why does Robert Plant look so sad? Is it because the band didn't invite him to sing?

dirty lemon burst

I've never liked Phil Harris. Talk about "standing on the shoulders of giants" 🙄 I knew Pete in the last year's of his life, living on Canvey Island. We discussed this guitar, and quite honestly...he couldn't give a toss. He was always completely bemused by the fuss. Any fuss. But he was also someone who was quite vulnerable, and got taken advantage of many times, by those with lesser talents and ability. The way that Harris hawks himself around now with Kirk Hammetts guitar is just awful. It represents everything that Pete wasn't. No integrity whatsoever. And as for Gary Moore... He was the same. Refused to even acknowledge the fact that he had bought the guitar for a pittance from Pete, when it came time to sell it for a small fortune. Disgraceful.

20:21 (orig) 40:55 (replica) 20:36 (orig) 41:20 (replica 20:47 (orig) 42:00 (replica)

Be nice if the band knew what song they were playing and agreed to do the same chords and stop at the same time. Also tune the bloody thing ffs.

THE REPLICA IS A GOOD ONE, REALLY GOOD, BUT YET MISSING THAT CRYSAL CLEAR METALLIC SOUND AND POWER THE REAL PAFS HAD, BUT CLOSE ENOUGH, WITHOUT THE MAGIC! YOU CAN HEAR THAT THE WOOD IS GOOD THOUGH!

Pure example that even the wholly grail of guitars, Gibson LP '59 can sound shit in the hands of wrong person....

I am guessing that Phil is very wealthy. What does he do for a living?

Mediocre

I thought Kirk Hammett owned it? just saying... the vid sucks!

Lots of jazz notes and out of tune....oops

Weak.

I listen to Englishmen talk all the time but this guy seems to try to celebrate the accent and slurring to another level. Good Lord man speak clearly if you're going to put something out on KZfaq. Thanks for your effort but it would really help if you could speak to where the rest of the world can understand.
