According to Clapton, Summer In The City is White Room.
Model One and Schallers?  Ish.

If it is, then it sounds harmonically a lot more elegant!!! TLS used some intricate harmonic combinations, way ahead of what other bands were doing  in their time.

Then so is Tales of Brave Ullyses...or is it the other way around?

Dude! So, like, John Sebastian's brother time traveled into the future, heard White Room, went back and wrote Summer In The City! Far out!  :mrgreen:

Eric's memory must not be the best.

Yep that's a John Birch pickup.

Correct! It's a John Birch Superflux - the same kind that's also in the neck position on that Telecaster in the video.
They had nine pole-pieces to create a blade effect so there was no drop off when string-bending. Of course that also meant that they could be used on guitar or bass = a market for guitarists & bassists without John Birch having to do more work.

Someone on here was so sad as to re-create that Telecaster!!   :rolleyes:

Dude! It was just a movie! Everybody knows Chuck Berry learned from Young Einstein!  ;D

He probably had an appointment and was in a hurry.

There are quite a few time-warp bloopers out there. I remember seeing one from the Daniel Boone TV series where right after a short fight scene, the camera pans and you can see a car parked on a road -- in late-1700s Kentucky. I haven't found that one on YT yet, but I did find this one where a plane's vapor trail is visible as the character played by Jimmy Dean walks away.

Movie and TV continuity mistakes are always fun.  I have to find out which Biblical movie has telephone lines in the background (no, they are not crucifixes).  Here's a few others I found online:

............... meanwhile back at the thread......

Jimmy was using 4 x Accoustic 361s(??)  :P by 1973 and handed his very obscure SNS tranny amps & cabs to be split between Nod & Dave; which meant they were using about 500w each.
Dave on that EB3 for the first one; Jimmy on the second song.
