Great reading these comments. I've met Robben Ford twice and went to many concerts, including Bakersfield, CA...he's always so down to Earth easy to talk to, never putting on anything but a genuine vibe. Long may we have this great amongst us!
And the invisible man who has played with everyone from EC the Stones and Mad Dogs and English Men ect Chris Stainton add Doyle Bramhall and the reason this video showed up in my feed Robben Ford, people use the term under rated to offen but Robben has to be the greatest guitar player that nobody besides players know ,there is a body of work that would take me an our to jot down,from Miles Davis to Michael McDonald Charlie Musslewhite to Joni Mitchell and everyone in between and an extraordinarily humble man who I believe stays out of the limelight intentionally.
Robben tears into one of his beautifully crafted blues solos, drawing you in with interesting lines, ripping an exciting second half, and cooling down to the groove just in time. It’s pretty standard for him, but what was delightful was how much positivity he was sending, having a good time, and pleased he could make the guys with him proud.
As a Robben Ford fan for most of my life, it´s a joy to see him playing with Clapton and to see them having a blast playing together such a powerful song. Simply beautiful. They should record an album together and I´d be happy haha
Robben is one of the best ever and certainly one of my favorites! He is just so melodic and powerful at the same time! I had no idea he had played with Eric as I just stumbled across this minutes ago!
@@lantose I don't know that Robben and Eric have ever played together ,it's about time if not Robben has played with everyone it seems like and Eric has obviously been around, credit to Doyle too an old buddy of SRV in fact Doyle's father played drums for SRV before Clayton.
Actually the only thing I recall Robben and Eric having in common before this was working with Glyn Johns ,RF and the Blue Line Handful Of Blues an amazing album Glyn even played back up on one song, I say album because I have a large collection and they're making a big comeback,hang on to your vinyl friends.
Robben is a guitarists guitarist....and there are so many axe slingers out there that most ppl have never heard of...thanks to the internet Im up til "4:00 in the morning" searching for more. StevieRaveOn 🙏
Ero al concerto di domenica, grazie per la condivisione!!! Serate fantastiche di vera musica, un raggio di luce contro l'immondizia sonora che stanno diffondendo sempre di più in giro...Eric Forever
This kind of stage exposure is long overdue since Robben’s brief moment with Miles Davis - Robben was ecstatic throughout and what a solo he played - a little of everything and perfectly measured to the groove. A lesson to us all - you get your chance, you take it and give it your very best. It’s obvious Eric loved his solo - the look he gives the other guitarist like “man that was good”!
@@edwardjons8684 your comment betrays your complete lack of knowledge of the rest of Robben's work which is phenomenal. Also I notice that you objected my appreciation of Robben's solo, but no Eric's. There's hope
Yes, Paul Carrack is one of the greatest most UNDERRATED singers this world has ever heard! Robben Ford: A TREASURE! However, Doyle Bramhall II, who I love, seems like he's "calling it in" on this tune. Still, a GREAT rendition of a great song!
Yes nice to these two great players together different styles but all in the name of the blues! Nice to see robben getting some well deserved recognition hope they record something together!
My session mate Wayne Perkins played bass on Cocker's original version. Wayne was a great guitar player but he played bass on our Jerry Wexler-produced sessions down at Quinvy where I was the house guitarist. They needed a bass player to fill in on this session up at MSS and called Wayne to come up and cover. Wayne said he had no idea about what to play on the track, so he just thundered along and let Beckett and Jimmy J carry all the riffs. Great track. Wayne went on to play in the Gap Band with Leon, and played on the Stones "Black & Blue" album and toured with the Stones briefly.
I'm assuming Robben done it when he opened up for Clapton. When I saw Clapton last year Jimmy Vaughan opened for him and it was great to get to see him but it would have been really awesome to have seen Robben with him. Marcus King came out for the High Time We Went encore and I about lost my mind but was literally one of about 3 people there that even seemed to know who he was. LOL!
Great video quality but sounds like the mic is at the back of the venue and picking up all kinds of sound bouncing off every hard surface. Good band though.
I forget his name, but has been with Eric for a long time now. You will see him on some earlier concerts, and if you check them out, you will see his name listed. Sorry, but blank on the name right now!
Your comment may sound cool, but it's nonsense and shows that you don't know what you're really talking about. Of course Robben Ford is one of the best guitar players. But he is recognized and honored as one of the 100 best guitarists of the 20th century and has played with so many musical legends - how could anybody say he was underestimated?
Eric Clapton couldn't carry the briefcase of the guy who carries Robben Ford's briefcase. It's like comparing Fred Flintstone's car to the Space Shuttle
One of the best concerts I've ever seen was The Pretenders. Chrissy Hind introduced a surprise guest - Iggy Pop - who used the same idea to great effect, The Pretenders went back to the normal colourful stage set. Toronto...19??
@@tedimmonen2743 He has been with Clapton for a long time and this song was a Joe Cocker song that he originally played on. One of the many things that make Clapton great is that he has always tried to point the spotlight toward the music of others as much as his own.
@@paultiplea I'm gonna lose some too by explaining, but last year ago he commented on the side effects the Jab had on him, his hands suffered, etc. He also made some protest songs and some of those lyrics may have been misinterpreted by some fellow musicians. Google it, but by any means do not read the hit-piece that Rolling Stone magazine or Washington post did on him. Disgusting. Funny how just today he and many other start to be vindicated. Peace.

Sometimes, it's easy to forget what a fantastic, percussive rhythm guitar player Robben Ford is. Great rhythm playing here by RF.
I think its just as important to mention Paul Carrack. His career has been just as prolific. Wonderful voice and composer.
Eric is no fool, hell yeah, Paul Carrack!

Robben played with Phil Lesh and Paul Barrera from Little Feat for a tour.
Yepper
Eric’s face at the end of robbens solo says it all. A master enjoying a master

Terrific solo from Robben smile of approval from Eric - some seriously talented musicians on that stage! 🙌🎸🎶🙌🌟💖
Agree - including Nathan East on bass and Paul Carrack on keys and vocals - both superstars in their own right.
Robben is one of the best ever and certainly one of my favorites! He is just so melodic and powerful at the same time! I had no idea he had played with Eric as I just stumbled across this minutes ago!
Let's call it what it is this is a super group if there ever was.

Fabulous. It was keyboardist Chris Staintan here, behind Robben, who played on Joe's original (almost positive).
Love watching Robben getting his groove on and dancing around 😃
He was definitely having a great time!
It took too many years for these two to finally come together on one stage. Two of my all time heroes, bravo and please MORE!
@Jerry McGeorge I agree 100%!!! I often wondered if Robben ever got the invite to a Crossroads Festival? He would be a GREAT participant! 😃
@@paulreese3071 yes
@@paulreese3071
Ford would have embarrassed all participants, including Clapton.
@@bernardliu8526 how so ? Robben is great but EC is legendary.
@@bernardliu8526 music don't work like that buddy. Especially among the legends
Robben is a true gentleman and is very gracious towards local crew. A pleasure to be sure.😊
These musical moments mean so much more now that everyone is getting up in years.
What a great stage full of legit legends!
What a great addition to Eric and Doyle Bramhall II. Doyle is a very accomplished guitarist as well who constantly gets overlooked
The main reason for Doyly to be overlooked is that he's such an eye-sore!
Just not flashy
I was there, and it was the best concert of my life
Love Eric's big smile after Robben's solo.

The Tele cut through the mix, wow. Those highs of the tele are so cool.
Robben seems to have the time of his life here, so full of joy
fender dream team！
Clapton couldn't believe his ears, indeed! Couldn't fathom or contain the tone or soul coming from Ford...
Ero al concerto di domenica, grazie per la condivisione!!! Serate fantastiche di vera musica, un raggio di luce contro l'immondizia sonora che stanno diffondendo sempre di più in giro...Eric Forever
È vero,la penso così anch'io
Io ero al concerto di lunedì 10....che spettacolo!!
Idem spettacolo puro
Beautiful solo by Robben. Rock on!
Awesome Robben ! His Tele sounds amazing . He´s the only one with high energy on stage.
and the tightest trousers.

robben's solo was far from particularly good, and eric's was just abysmal.

What a Wonderful video !! Eric and Robben !!
sigh....if this happened in the 90s, when these 2 masters at their peak
Beautiful moment captured.
Great to hear these guitarists like this jamming. Hope to hear them play together properly in a less souped up song sometime.
Glad to see EC looking healthy again at near 80 years of age he's doing great and even did a guitar solo for Ozzy's latest album
Great stuff!

we need more of this

Love the Joe Cocker version and this is cracking good too. Well done everyone!!! 👏💖👏
Ageee
Il est où le bonheur ❓ Chercher pas il est là. Merci les gars.
Glad to see two Legends play on stage, it’s like dream .!! Plz do more !!
Ford and East I believe know each other best.
Robben played to the song and tore it up!
Wish i was there!! Great show
Una stupenda band! Eric ha la stessa voce di 40 fa,
Really great performance, sure a sonority feeling. Thanks for share.
❤ onore al grandissimo Joe Cocker ❤️
E si .... proprio un DIAVOLO in ME 😂😂😂😂😂 ma non e' l'unica 😂😂😂
grazie !!
The main value in this was the good will and vibes, all very workman-like parts, but the friendliness was like the sun coming out on a grey day.
!! probably the last guitar heroes,with other greats now older,fuckin times now for good music and guitars, ciao from Italy

Black and Blue - still a favourite
Awesome 😮
Presente !!! Di fronte al palco!! 🎉
Love doyles tone he is so good
That’s the A Team right there!
that was really cool. I wonder why Robben wasn't turned up and trading licks. WTF he's a MONSTER!
Great Band.
A concentration of most of my favorites, I whish if they came to Hungary, too
Todos grandes
eric y robben
OMG 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Brilliant amazing guys together they speak and it speaks to me ❤
Robben Ford❤
Ohhhh yes
Bella ripresa complimenti ciao
I think Roben Ford is nuts… the Jim Carey of guitarists
Great to see these stellar muscians cooking albeit some distortion on the bass sound.
Cool !
I love me some Paul Carrack
heavy groove
love seeing Robben playing with EC - had a faint hope they’d to Talk to your daughter but not to be

probably not the song I'd have picked but great to see two legands together. Robben looked so happy to be in Europe maybe for good.
@@luvblues100 He has been closing with it for a while. I think he does it to show off his bandmates' music.
Get into the studio men!!!
And more so Nathan East... I mean Come ON!
Robben’s solo was the best by far. His Tele sounds great.
Aah, Robben didn't bring his tweed amp, like all the other guys. He's a maverick 🤠. Oh, and WoW.
Tbf Doyle neither. When I watched them in Copenhagen he was using a Super Reverb and a Two Rock together. Sounded incredible!
Life's short. Better late, than never....🙂
Ford smoked all the sterile ancient player's asses!
I wonder if guitarists don’t want to play with Robben because he sets a standard of playing that is hard to equal.
Lol
Why "joe--Cocker-Cover"? Yes, he sang that song. But Chris Stainton, the man on piano, is the composer of it. As well as other songs of Joe Cocker.
mai visto Robben Ford così esaltato....... un pò di vinello prima di salire sul palco? Cmq fantastico
COOL
RF is brilliant, great solo, he was a bit down in the mix, or is it me?
Wow
Rare New good stuff
Why are Clapton's shows done with only house lights?
Bellissimo! Ero lì ieri, hai per caso fatto anche il video dell'apertura di Robben Ford?
Scary.
Robben Ford o.O
👍🍒🚿💋🎸😍
Bellissimo

Marco, sto raccogliendo materiale per un multicam, non è che riusciresti a passarmi i tuoi filmati non compressi? Grazie mille per il tuo lavoro! 🙏👍👍👍
Did EC place a restraining order on Robben? 😆
Robben is nine foot three
😂
the audio of Robben Ford solo it's disaster...impossible to hear...
Robben is the most underated guitar player on Earth

He toured all over Europe and Japan with Larry Carlton and also toured the world with Miles Davis!
I beg to differ. 😂
He’s not underrated at all. Stop spouting shit.
But no one but Eric on God's mat.
Eric Clapton couldn't carry the briefcase of the guy who carries Robben Ford's briefcase. It's like comparing Fred Flintstone's car to the Space Shuttle
Exactly! Clapton is so sterile & has nothing left to bring to the table! Sad...
Ford’s tone is nonpareil !
now that I consider it. Robben left by a seperate exit from the Clapton group entirely. WEEERRRRIIIDD
And this isn't 4K
He plays guitar like ron wood mannerisms i mean
Why does Eric have a brightly-lit, Spartan-like stage set-up? Doesn't even use colored lights...
One of the best concerts I've ever seen was The Pretenders. Chrissy Hind introduced a surprise guest - Iggy Pop - who used the same idea to great effect, The Pretenders went back to the normal colourful stage set. Toronto...19??
Who is the organ player/singer?
Paul Carrack
