It will be 4 years on April 15th when my husband passed away as well. This song touched a lot of people. Aren’t we blessed to have such wonderful memories?
On April 15th this year it would have been my Parents' 61st Wedding Anniversary. My Dad died befor I met my Wife, my Mam liked Sal. Both are physically gone, never EVER forgotten. My wife took me to see Clapton. He was EPIC.
I agree it is a great song and my wedding dance song. Still not sure what post boomer infers? I am a Boomer and this song came out in 1978 I was 18 yrs old. So not post boomer at all. It is Boomer era.
@@DocLampLighter You look good in that long hair and cap..... I pass of much younger also.... so I am told. Boomers include those born up to 1964. Just a long gap between the first boomers and later ones thru such changing eras of 60s and 70s and 80s for younger Boomers as I was in my 20s thru the 80s when I was far more out of my shell and moved to the big city of Chicago having a branch of my family there to get a start after High School.
And to make the point how good both are together, even though each has a style so distinct when they play together the one playing background just makes it better without their style dominating the others song. you can tell the two love playing together, they have done it many times.

Dire Straits and Eric Clapton is Mark Knopfler and Eric as "Guitar Gods" recognising each other as such. They'd known each other since the 70s Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms" from the same concert is electrifying. Eric Clapton on rhythm guitar
Dire Straits were the headline act at this concert. Eric was only there because their regular rhythm guitarist Jack Sonni's wife had just given birth to twins and he stood in for him. Mark Knopfler being his usual generous self incorporated a couple of Eric's songs into their set. Later that year Mark and Dire Straits' keyboard player Alan Clarke joined Eric as band members on his 25th anniversary tour.
🇨🇦 So many parties, so many times, I would look across the room at my Wife and pinch myself ! On occasion, we would find ourselves in different groups of friends, talking or drinking, even dancing, and even if we only got one dance together, we went home feeling happy and wonderful ! We had a great group of friends and attended many dinner parties with them, and at each one, I could not believe my luck when I would glance in her direction ! Over 50 years now . . . 🇨🇦
Dire Straits' great rhythm guitar player Jack Sonni (RIP) was at the birth of his twin daughters, so Dire Straits had to find another player. Eric is lovingly referred to as the "tricky little inside left", who's "never played at Wembley before" (Mark says this in the opening song). Overall this is a great concert, with Brothers in Arms probably being the highlight. But great versions of all Straits' songs here as well as Clapton
Eric Clapton sang the alpha and omega of my marriage. I remember dancing with my wife at our wedding reception to "Wonderful Tonight" and 27 years later, I can't get "Tears In Heaven" out of my mind now that she passed.
Clapton stood in last moment for their usual rhythm guitarist as his wife was about to give birth. It was a favour as Mark has been a guest at some of his shows and afterwards joined Eric on the American leg of his tour. This is from the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Concert which Dire Straits headlined.
This song was about Patty Boyd ,a model and photographer. She first married George Harrison and then Eric Clapton.She was the muse for several songs by each of them. She later left Clapton and married another Englishman.
Eric Clapton wrote this song Aug 16 2019 while waiting for his wife. Fun fact if your kids like the movie " The princess bride" Mark Knopfler singer of Dire Straits sang the song "Story book story"
Three very famous songs about the same woman: "Wonderful Tonight," "Layla" (Eric under the guise of Derek and te Dominoes) and "Something" by The Beatles. Eric ... ahem ... lured Patti away from George Harrison
Excellent reaction, Britt. For sheer energy, exuberance and talent, you MUST check out Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits), Eric Clapton, Sting and Phil Collins singing 'Money for Nothing' live. You will LOVE it.
This is a 'snippet' of a long standing duel between Eric Clapton and George Harrison for the affections of a lady... somehow, they stayed friends - somehow; they created "great" music - I think George was the looser but 'we' all benefitted...
So 3 of the most romantic and best songs were written about patty boyd. Who was married to George Harrison. Of the Beatles. Who was best friends with Eric Clapton. Who fell in love with his wife Patty Boyd. Who he wrote Layla about. And then Patty left George to be with Eric and married Eric. And George had written this song something about Patty and of course this song that you love so much was written about Patty Boyd, As for Eric and Mark Knopfler, the lead singer and driving force of Dire Straits. They became best friends because they probably are the two greatest guitarist in the world. And Erik would have something called the princess trust which was like 20 nights of concerts that was to raise money and, Knopfler and usually Elton John and others like Phil Collins and Cooper the famous percussionist always come and play withEric The musicianship when these guys play is literally off the charts
You should give a listen to Eric Clapton's "Bell Bottom Blues". Written about the same woman as Layla, but about wanting to make up after a fight. Plus the fact that there aren't many songs highlighting one of your preferred clothing styles.
Completely unintentional (I am not necessairly a huge Clapton fan but I like a lot of his songs), this was my wedding song, that my wife and I had our first dance in. And our 2 year old is named Layla, as that's what I was playing on the guitar when my wife told me she is pregnant. If you haven't heard that song - Layla is also a song by Eric.
This is a good version of the song but in my opinion there's a even better one on TH-cam you might want to check out it's Eric-Clapton wonderful tonight (Official live)
For an earlier chapter, listen to "Layla" soon, remember it's about the same lady. This is a wonderful love song, so tender. Clapton's expressed love for Patti Harrison may make him PDC-worthy. That story is better than anything Hollywood can produce. Clapton's look certainly changes a lot over the years!
If you read Eric’s auto biography he says this ISN’T a love song he said they were going out and Patti was taking her time getting ready and he was getting impatient with her
It's funny really but the second verse seems to be describing the "woman" of the song, as a sort of trophy wife, but it must just be me because nobody else seems to feel that way.
There’s a performance you need to check out Lead singer of Dire Straits at Monserat performing Money for nothing Phil Collins on Drums Eric Clapton on Guitar Sting w/ backing vocals
I’m pretty sure this came from the “Nelson Mandela” concert. He was still in prison at the time and this was part of the campaign to have him released. Mark and Eric had played together a few times before (and since). I saw them at the Royal Albert Hall in around 86 or 87. Phil Collins was on the drums that night as well.
George Harrison of the Beatles was married to model Pattie Boyd, and Eric Clapton was his best friend. Eric (and many, MANY others) was in love with Pattie Boyd, and he essentially stole her from George. Eric - briefly leading a group called Derek And The Dominos - wrote a (very famous, popular rock) song called Layla about his love for her before he eventually got her. This song was written a while later, after they'd been together for a while. The crazy thing was, George and Eric continued to be best friends, despite Eric stealing Pattie from him.
I think both men have a lot of empathy, and it would be heard for either of them to deny the love that the other man clearly had for the same woman. So at some level it's understandable.
Britt, I'm a new subscriber and am enjoying immensely the reaction of degreed student of music, so thank you! Please, react to the Righteous Brothers songs,: You've Lost That Lovin Feeling Unchained Melody I would really appreciate your response! Blessings to you, hubby and your newborn! Annie Houston
Thanks, I have probably 15 Clapton discs but this is the first time I’ve heard him with Dire Straights . This is about the time he was screwing around with George Harrison ‘ s wife .
Really? Then you're in for a treat! Check out the rest of this set from the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute Concert that Dire Straits headlined, Eric's 25th Anniversary Tour where Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits' keyboard player Alan Clarke were members of his band, the Music For Montserrat concert at the Royal Albert Hall which includes Mark, Eric, Sting and Phil Collins performing an enormously fun version of Money For Nothing as well as Mark joining Eric for a slow version of Layla (fellow guitarist Phil Palmer who toured with both Eric and Dire Straits is also part of the "house" band) and most especially Knebworth '90 where Eric and his band performed and then stayed on stage to join Dire Straits in performing Money for Nothing and, most wonderfully, I Think I Love You Too Much. Hearing Mark and Eric trading solos on the latter, a great blues number, is magical. 😃
"He stole the Beatles George Harrison's wife". No he didn't; George Harrison and his wife's relationship had very much cooled off by this point - and George was having an affair with Ringo Starr's wife.
Coca-Cola produced a CD in conjunction with the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. The CD was comprised of six tracks, including "Barcelona" by Queen, "Bring Your Mind" by En Vogue, a country track by Travis Tritt, and an extended live version of "Wonderful Tonight" by Slowhand accompanied by a wonderful female singer. It's like ten minutes and worth every second. Does anyone else remember this?
Ok Brit, you need to check out "Layla" also wrote by Eric for "patty B" before they hooked up (she was George Harrisons wife..beatles) The live performance at Madison Square Garden is perfect!!!
Mind you, I am a huge Clapton fan, and this song is one of my favorites, but Eric has had his issues with addiction. Those of us there in the day, when he was so far gone, he had to lay on his back and play. But still, we loved him, and still do today. Check out "Tears in Heaven" if you have not. Also, check him out with "Cream" Live at Royal Albert Hall. Huge reunion with one of his former bands, huge crowd.
If you want to hear some great songs bybthe band "Heart". Check out "Love Alive", Sing Child, Cook with Fire (studio version), Mistral Wind, and Dog and Butterfly. I could give you so many more.😂I promise you'll love them all😊.Have fun❤
Patti Boyd, Eric Clapton, and George Harrison. Read about how this all happened. Its weird with a capital W. When Eric is singing about an aching head, he isnt lying. He self secluded for 2 years to kick heroin and became a raging alcoholic in the process. He later kicked it all, cigarettes too, and opened the Crossroads recovery center. George Harrison wrote "Savoy Truffle" in the Beatles about Eric eating tons of candy due to his heroin addiction and having his teeth replaced because they rotted out of his head. And if thats not enough wife swapping for you, read about George and Ringo swapping wives at house parties. The Beatles werent as squeaky clean as their press.😂
This was a charity concert for Nelson Mandela's birthday. Eric Joined Dire Straits because the rhythm guitarists wife had just given birth, so Eric stepped in.
My wife finished the book written by Patti Boyd about her relationships With George Harrison and Eric Clapton. You could get your wish in a way about what happened after the song. Eric Clapton's addictions were severe and so it was a good thing she drove home. Her sister Jenny Boyd married Mick Fleetwood from Fleetwood Mac.
Both great guitarists. Been friends since they met in the 80s?. Clapton has collaborated and played with many artists. Another interesting collab is Clapton and JJ Cale. Clapton has covered many Cale songs, they even made an album together.
The quintessential love song..just Eric, his guitar and his girl..so pure and romantic ❤️
This was my husband and my song ❤he passed 4 years ago. This April 15th would’ve been our 35 year anniversary….love Eric ❤❤❤❤
I’m sorry Marge. You had 35 years of love to be cherished.
It will be 4 years on April 15th when my husband passed away as well. This song touched a lot of people. Aren’t we blessed to have such wonderful memories?
On April 15th this year it would have been my Parents' 61st Wedding Anniversary. My Dad died befor I met my Wife, my Mam liked Sal. Both are physically gone, never EVER forgotten. My wife took me to see Clapton. He was EPIC.
So sorry. This song is also a special song for my wife and I as it was our Wedding Dance song....
Best Love Song of generations (Post Boomer). No sexuality... just pure love and affection.
I agree it is a great song and my wedding dance song. Still not sure what post boomer infers? I am a Boomer and this song came out in 1978 I was 18 yrs old. So not post boomer at all. It is Boomer era.
@@davidw7 I'm just a bit younger than you... Old man...
@@DocLampLighter You look good in that long hair and cap..... I pass of much younger also.... so I am told. Boomers include those born up to 1964. Just a long gap between the first boomers and later ones thru such changing eras of 60s and 70s and 80s for younger Boomers as I was in my 20s thru the 80s when I was far more out of my shell and moved to the big city of Chicago having a branch of my family there to get a start after High School.
Two of the best guitarists around. Always loved this song. It reminds me of watching my wife at a party and just being amazed that she had chosen me.
And to make the point how good both are together, even though each has a style so distinct when they play together the one playing background just makes it better without their style dominating the others song. you can tell the two love playing together, they have done it many times.
This was about Pattie Boyd, after she left George Harrison, who wrote the song "Something" about her. Clapton's "Layla" was also about her.
Yes going to a party at another Beatles home Paul's annual Buddy Hollies party
Along with another half dozen that they wrote about her.
YES
“Something” is a beautiful song, recorded by The Beatles. I don’t see that Britt has reacted to The Beatles. How is that possible?
@@terri2494Many people who try to do the Beatles, even for educational purposes, use their Patreon because they get blocked all of the time. The version from The Concert For George (2002) with Clapton and McCartney might be more possible.
Dire Straits lead singer is Mark Knopfler
These two didn't flash it much in this song but those are two of the greatest guitar players together on that stage.
Dire Straits and Eric Clapton is Mark Knopfler and Eric as "Guitar Gods" recognising each other as such. They'd known each other since the 70s
Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms" from the same concert is electrifying. Eric Clapton on rhythm guitar
This is our wedding song we have been together 40 plus yrs. Eric Clapton did this song better all alone. Dire straits no way. Awesome reaction though.
Dire Straits were the headline act at this concert. Eric was only there because their regular rhythm guitarist Jack Sonni's wife had just given birth to twins and he stood in for him. Mark Knopfler being his usual generous self incorporated a couple of Eric's songs into their set. Later that year Mark and Dire Straits' keyboard player Alan Clarke joined Eric as band members on his 25th anniversary tour.
It's about Patti Boyd. So are Layla and Something. She must a special woman.
Just about every Derek and the Dominos song is about Patti.
🇨🇦 So many parties, so many times, I would look across the room at my Wife and pinch myself ! On occasion, we would find ourselves in different groups of friends, talking or drinking, even dancing, and even if we only got one dance together, we went home feeling happy and wonderful ! We had a great group of friends and attended many dinner parties with them, and at each one, I could not believe my luck when I would glance in her direction ! Over 50 years now . . . 🇨🇦
For a dude mostly incapable of liking love songs, this is gold.
Great reaction, song and artists. Happy Friday to all and safe weekend ahead!
That’s why they call Eric Clapton, “Slow Hand”. Listen to that guitar.
Me and my wife got married in 2001 right before I got deployed to Iraq, this was the song we danced to. Great memories!!!!!
That's pure emotion coming out of that guitar.
Dire Straits' great rhythm guitar player Jack Sonni (RIP) was at the birth of his twin daughters, so Dire Straits had to find another player. Eric is lovingly referred to as the "tricky little inside left", who's "never played at Wembley before" (Mark says this in the opening song).

Oh hell yes, i asked you to react to this after you did another Eric Clapton song...wow..thx
PLEASE I NEED TO SEE DISCO INFERNO - THE TRAMPS. THANKS
How can this song not get in the PDC? You said every woman wants to be romanced like this, yet no PDC! I don't get it.
Eric Clapton sang the alpha and omega of my marriage. I remember dancing with my wife at our wedding reception to "Wonderful Tonight" and 27 years later, I can't get "Tears In Heaven" out of my mind now that she passed.
88 was a great year. I married my wife in 88 and we're still going today. Have a great weekend.

The story about Beatle George Harrison's wife Patti Boyd marrying Eric Clapton is very unusual. Look into it.
If you want to react to something exciting and New, try listening to salsa music, begin with ruben blades " juan pachanga"

If you read Eric’s auto biography he says this ISN’T a love song he said they were going out and Patti was taking her time getting ready and he was getting impatient with her
You listen to the words of this song and many others and you still wonder why 100,000 people are crammed together like Sardines to see his genius. Lol
For some older contrast, listen to Layla (Derek and the Dominos) and I Shot The Sheriff
It's funny really but the second verse seems to be describing the "woman" of the song, as a sort of trophy wife, but it must just be me because nobody else seems to feel that way.
This is Nelson Mandelas 70th birthday
Im first :)
Here's a cookie
Check out the audience in "whole lotta Rosie" by ACDC FUN song too
There’s a performance you need to check out

So much fun! The choir and orchestra in the background are enjoying every second.
He wrote it for his wife Patty Boyd who previously was married to George Harrison.
Hubby and my song. I like the live version but love the studio version.
The best song from this show was "Romeo and Juliette." One of my favorite renditions of any song ever; I just wish there was an HD version out there
So beautiful woman you are.😍😍😍
I like this Music.
The acoustic version of this song is PDC material.
Such a great song.... to bad it got stopped so often....
Dire Straits is amazing and Eric Clapton is a LEGEND....A LEGEND.....oh, Dear Lord he is fabulous

There are 90,000 seats in Wembley Stadium.

This is probably the softest and romantic Eric Clapton ever got.
He was rockin like a mf when he was with his three piece band Cream in the late 60s.
By God woman, you are quick on the uptake!
Yea he sure adored George Harrisons wife thats who its about😊
Lots of babies were made listening to this song.

Your reaction was wonderful tonight, Britt. Please check out Eric Clapton & Cheryl Crowe singing “Little Wing.” World class musicianship
Patti Boyd, Eric Clapton, and George Harrison. Read about how this all happened. Its weird with a capital W. When Eric is singing about an aching head, he isnt lying. He self secluded for 2 years to kick heroin and became a raging alcoholic in the process. He later kicked it all, cigarettes too, and opened the Crossroads recovery center. George Harrison wrote "Savoy Truffle" in the Beatles about Eric eating tons of candy due to his heroin addiction and having his teeth replaced because they rotted out of his head.

His old stuff, Yardbirds,Cream are from a crazy age.Thats even older than ME.Shockin
This is a beautiful, classic Eric Clapton song. The band I played in back in the early 80s covered it. Just a beautiful song.
Love EC!
