@Blueswannabe: "I just find the tone, phrasing and timing on this amazing."

You mean "tones, phrasings & timings"? Two players, two amps...

Here is how Rod and George recorded it-


Rod starts it off with two choruses. George comes next
with 2 choruses of his own. After this, Rod plays two
more and George follows him, but this time George is
just playing a sliding riff, with Rod doing short
fills in between.

After this chorus, George plays one, with Rod doing a
few small fills. Next chorus finds George really
blowing some mean harp...and you can really hear where
guys like Rod got some inspiration.

The next chorus (last chorus of the song) has the guys
trading two bars at a time, with Rod starting off.

it sounds as if rod is playing thru george's silvertone amp
it may have a slight tape echo
not sure what george is playing thru, may be the same amp
just guessing here..... dont quote me.

Apparently George used Rod's bassman.

Indeed, it sounds like Rod's using a Silvertone...but that's just my guess too.

Both harps sound dry.

Hard to see-but looks like George is sitting in front of a Bassman or Concert amp in this photo
