my fav era with him was with Bob Dylan, 1966 -
here’s a pretty niche video with both of them playing a Dylan song that never made an official album release

awesome guitarist / RIP

As an example, here’s a clip of him playing with Clapton. He takes over right when Clapton’s strap slips off his guitar and they go back and forth shredding.
However, if you listen to him with Dylan or The Band, the guitar parts are always simple and about fitting the song.
You can actually SEE that the strap was in a precarious position in the clip (it's clear at like 45s). Straps in that era didn't have strap locks. It'd just be a chunky post in the guitar, and a leather tab at the end of your strap you'd force over it. In a normal orientation, it'd be secure ENOUGH, but as shown it's been flipped over, which means the weight of the guitar itself is pushing on it in a way that will absolutely cause the guitar to slip out of it.
