    I don’t care what anyone says about his Cream or Derek years. Clapton was at his absolute virtuosic peak in the late 80s-mid 90s. He got off drugs, dusted off his 335, and just let it freakin fly. Some of the best guitar playing you’ll ever hear.

      I’m inclined to agree. It was his last, finest peak.

      lotta accuracy in this comment. he peaked more than once and most peope do NOT do that. id say 68’ (you cant deny the final year of Cream), Layla Sessions, around 78’ and then again around 89’-95’. hes a virtuoso through and through

      I heard EC in Pittsburgh in 2013. When I tell people I heard Clapton in his prime, they invariably ask, "When, in the Late Sixties?" My response is, "No, in Clapton's late 60's."
      As another poster said, EC has peaked several times.
      He may not be God, but his playing is divine.

      I agree with you about the statement of Eric playing THIS song! But, I’ve been listening to and watching many other videos by Clapton, (I’m 67 and grew up with him so to speak) and this one is the ONLY one I’ve seen where I can honestly say that he puts his entire body and soul into it! Most of the time (and no criticism intended bc it makes me no less fonder of his playing) he plays rather ‘laid back’ and doesn’t emote like in this one. I absolutely ❤ this video!

    Jesus christ that 335 opens up like a London bus parade on a hot August afternoon. When Eric turns it up around 3m40s, it just sings! So beautiful even prior to that, when just breaking up, as well. I always felt that the 335 made him play his best stuff, the tone of this cherry red definitely inspired him.
    This is my favourite version of this song btw, closely followed by the 1996 Hyde Park version, but this one edges it. What I did love about the Hyde Park gig was how he went from Tore Down straight into Have You Ever Loved a Woman, it was brilliant.

    Excellent performance. I will say however that his best performance of not only this song I’ve ever heard and also one of the finest blues guitar solos I’ve had the pleasure of listening to was from his 24 Nights album (live at the Royal Albert Hall). The control, unbridled emotion, the love, pain, fury and feel of that one is Clapton at his best (IMHO). Check it out.

    I've been spent much money for the bootleg CDs, VHSs and DVDs to get the best quality recording of abandoned "Nothing but the Blues" PBS broadcast. Now at last, my dream would come true! So excited that I could enjoy this material in superb quality. Will get CD, LP, Blu-Ray etc. All of them! Can't wait the release date.

    I never got to see this tour but followed what was happening the best I could thru VH1. They aired an hour long show of the tour rehearsal for the 1994/1995 From The Cradle Tour which I have watched about 50 times. I have listened to all of the live tracks from the shows at the Fillmore in San Francisco on TH-cam and never get tired of this era of Clapton. He definitely had all of his faculties about him when he quit abusing alcohol and drugs. The old fire was back and he played with the ferocity of that kid in his early 20’s that tore it up with John Mayall and made millions of young men want to pick up a guitar. So glad that we are finally going to get to watch this in updated and restored video. If this is any indication of what this will be like it is what many EC fans have been waiting for. This is THE tour and album where he showed all of us what got him so excited as a young man in England and helped to shape the future of the music industry. Once these English blokes got turned on by the American blues music from the Mississippi Delta, Chicago, Memphis, and other places the world would never be the same. And God bless them all for it.

    In the first half of this song, EC kicks the Blues' a55h0le shut. In the second half of this song, EC tears the Blues a brand-new a55h0le.
    I have been digging EC since his first album and he has not disappointed since. In 70 years, I have not found a better guitarist.
    I hope he lives and plays forever.

      but Jimi was, nd I think it was Jimi who fully understood what an electric guitar can do..

    Right... Polyphia can go and shred for decades to come and massive respect to them, absolute gems, no disrespect here. But oh my god, Tim Henson will never play like this. This is coming straight out of Eric's gut, yes it's basic blues scales but still, nobody will ever replicate that feel, it's spot on, incredible. The timing, the attack, knowing when to step back.
    Love you Eric, honestly, this is about as perfect as it gets.

    • @the90schild1
      @the90schild1 ปีที่แล้ว

      we'd probably make good friends. I'm also familiar with that band. Heck, I even made mashups on my channel using Polyphia tunes. Both Eric and Buddy Guy can wail, each having their own character sound/ style of playing that I really warm up to. I guess the same can be said for Henson, but he definitely lacks that feeling from wailing in the blues.

I attended both gigs in London last month and God knows he can still play.
