That songs like 50 years old and it still sounds great.
It actually turned 50 this year.
The Matthäus-Passion is 293 years old, Hurrian Hymn No. 6 is nearly 2000 years old ... good music is like whisky and wine.
Classical pieces are like 200+ years and they still sound good
Eric Clapton is great. Also try Steve Vai, tender surrender, Steve Howe anything, in or out of " yes " rhanks
How about waiting man, or discipline song, King Crimson 1983 about, you're cool.
Eric is the only person to be inducted into the Rock hall of fame three times, with the Yardbirds, Cream and then as a solo artist.
EC is a total badass!
Blind faith should have been inducted as well
Should be in there for Derek and the dominoes
Show ya right
@@cheryljackson5659 my sentiments exactly
I'm gonna be real honest. NoLifeShaq has been my fav reactor......until now. I love how you come in doing reactions to a different genre of music than you are used to. You do it with an open mind, and actually GET the music. You FEEL it, and it shows. Keep killin it, bro!
Yeah, I do wish Shaq would have continued with other genres- he always said (and sure seemed) to love them- 🤷🏼♀️
Shaq is like watching the cookie monster react...Mr. Video genuinely appreciates the music and doesn't make it about him
@@andrew348 I still like NoLifeShaq, but Mr Video has some energy about him that is cooler to watch when it comes to these reactions
I.like Shaq too but he hadn't been doing anyrhing that interest me lately.
Im with you man 100%
Check out Eric's song "Wonderful Tonight" another song written by him for Patti Harrison, this one will get your lady to love you. Back in the 60's and 70's there was signs around London claiming "Clapton is God" no arguments here about that one. What a lot of people also don't know is that the opening riff of this song came from Dwayne Allman, another great guitarist. Layla is my daughters name by the way, yes after this song 💖💖💖
First song my son taught himself to play.
Jennifer D.W. clever young man then, does he play it as good? If he can then I might see him play it live one day.
Love Wonderful Tonight! Love this song also and It's in the way that you use it
th-cam.com/video/9fyPwtl0nVs/w-d-xo.html
This to me is the best version of Wonderful Tonight. Would love to see a reaction to it.
Eric favorite photo is graffiti on a wall Clapton is God with a dog urinating on it. Haha.
Eric Clapton is legendary I love his music also check out his cover of the song I Shot The Sheriff
Show ya right
Eric Clapton, one of the best guitarists. He’s one of my favorites up with Carlos Santana (my ultimate favorite!) Another good one is Mark Knopfler. He’s from the band Dire Straits. Their song “Sultans of Swing” is WELL WORTH a reaction! Good stuff.
Yes!! Mark Knopfler!! Great taste in music @Amanda . Eric is my ultimate, love Santana and Dire Straits were kick ass!!!
All the dire straits stuff is good. I'm like you I just love amazing guitarists. The way they pull music out of those instruments just gets me
So background on the song. Layla refers to George Harrison's wife at the time (Patti Boyd) Eric Clapton was madly in love with her, and wrote this song. Since she and George were breaking up he was okay with it. Patty and Eric eventually got married. And George attended the wedding George and Eric remained friends till the day George passed away. BTW, on the last night of his life, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton had a cutting contest. ( cutting is basically a guitar duel) it is on TH-cam you have to look for it, but it was obvious by the end that Eric knew he had been beaten. It was quite a fitting way for Stevie to go out. ..
I did not know this, but I assure you I''ll know more in a minute!
Wow thanks for the info. Been listening to Layla for years,never knew the story behind the song.
So is Wonderful Tonight
Duane Allman played slid on the original with Clapton
They also used to joking call each other "husbands IN law" Eric had said in an interview. 😉❤😎
There is a valid reason he has been called "SLOW HAND" for many decades my friend.
People think he is called Slow Hand because of his effortless guitar style. In fact, it's because in his early days, he spent so much time on stage changing guitar strings that the audience would get impatient and start a slow clap to hurry him up.
Cream Sunshine of Your Love💜 you won't be disappointed.
I knew I would find this comment, and I am quite happy to do so. Do you think he's ready for it?
One of the most iconic songs in music history
Yes!!!
Please!!!!!
"The thrill is gone" BB King and Eric Clapton. Incredible guitar solos.
Riding With the King
That whole album is badass. Title track,
BB King and Friends video has a fantastic version.
Dude! I probably wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for this song. This is my parents song. They named me after Eric Clapton. Hahaha
Great reaction!
made me smile. cool story and humor.
I have my third son we named after Eric. Lol
My middle name is Barrett . I doubt my parents named me after Syd Barrett , but I can hope .
Eric? Cool name, man
Vil3mos hahaha thanks man
Also one of the top guitarists of all time! Eric Clapton is a LEGEND! 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Derick and the Dominoes, Bell-bottoms Blues.
Yes yes and yes please
Also written about Pattie Boyd, as was Something by George Harrison. She must have been one hell of a woman!
Awesome tune
You should definetly react to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
best recommendation 👌 Prince was out of this universe...
Did they ever find that guitar??
Here come the comments about George Harrison, and Patti Boyd.
You called that one...lol
That's like someone telling you they are making spaghetti and you saying here comes the spaghetti sauce...very insightful, I guess?
@@andrew348 Lol.
I wish I could go back in time and tell her “Girl, don’t do it. The grass ain’t greener on the other side. It’s gonna get real dark after the romance of the song wears off.” Still love me some EC tho. Smartest man in music.
news flash: Not Everyone knows who this song is about and the backstory.
Check out the “unplugged” version of this song. It’s very different but also awesome
Tears In Heaven-Eric Clapton. It’s about his dead son.
You may want to fact check me but I believe that’s a popular misconception.. if I recall correctly the song was written or at least started before his sons death and was completed after. But again I could be wrong.
Gater Wood I’ll check it out and see 👍
Gater Wood Every article states that the song was inspired by his son’s death.
I read something that said after his son tragically died falling out of a window of a high rise building he quit writing. Just couldn't do it any more. Then when the movie Rush was being made his buddy asked him to help write the main song for the soundtrack and while writing the song Tears in Heaven he was able to deal with and come to terms with the loss!
Tamaira Cordell It was inspired by his son’s death. I cry every time I hear the song because of what happened. His son didn’t have a chance once he fell out of that window...50 stories is a long fall. 😭
Not just Clapton, but Duane Allman doing the slide guitar in the original. Love the slides on this song! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of my favorite Clapton song is peaches and Diesel. About Duane's tragic death. Moves me everytime, almost as much as free bird.
Google the story behind this one. Clapton fell in love with his friend George Harrison’s (The Beatles) wife and wrote this song for her. He eventually married her.
And yes, you’re tearing up because it’s THAT good. There’s so much emotion in this song - you can feel how much he wants this woman. ❤️
Show ya right
Listen to the studio version of original record when he fronted a band, Derek and the Dominos (from '70s)... has a a "slide guitar (?) by the late Dwayne Allman that is not to be believed. Worth the time! Makes this performance sound "soft"!
Jimi Hendrix was on the Derek and the Dominos album also, IMHO the best electric version of Layla.
Gosh...How have I missed that forever? Love Jimi Hendrix. Thanks for info. ✌
@@samuelpuzzo552 Clarification...Was Hendrix a separate track on the album or play on same track with Clapton and Allman? Trying to remember ever sitting down and listening to whole thing. Maybe never did.
Separate track.
Little Wing.
Looking for vinyl now because I need to jog my memory but I want to say Jimi sat in on Layla also. Could be wrong.
@@samuelpuzzo552 Thanks. Much to my regret lost all my vinyls, mostly 60s and 70s music, which I love, many years ago in a flooded basement. Now am confined to newer technology, which is great in many ways...but, not the same. Thx again for taking time to respond.
Wait until you hear him do Cocaine. lol It's a beautiful song because it's a true blue love song. Clapton can reach inside and touch your heart like no one else. Tears from Heaven will leave you a blubbering mess but in awe.
Yessssssss
@@marilynk30 Yes watch he's got to watch THE LIVE VERSION of it...I think it was done at Albert Hall but not sure. But it's 100xs better than his official version from that movie soundtrack it was used in.
React to Clapton’s “ Cocaine” It is one of my favorite Clapton’s best instrumental masterpieces!
@@georgeshuttlesworth8347 The Core is probably my favorite Clapton tune .
💚💚💚💚💚💚
I love this performance. This wasn't on the playlist. That's how you keep your band on their toes. That's why you see all them staring at him in the beginning. They didn't know where he was going. Then only had a second to figure it out. When he cranked out the intro.
Love the guitar and piano at the end. Love it so much I named my daughter after this song.
Oooooo, love Eric "Slow Hand" Clapton. The older I get the more I appreciate his talent.
Great job, Leo. 😊
I was waiting for someone to come out with his nickname! Eric SLOW HANDS Clapton!
'Layla' may well be powerful but CLAPTON IS GOD.
Now you should check out Cream. I believe this was Eric’s band in the way back. ✌️🤓
Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton, and Ginger Baker.
Gamble Beardsley was Derick and Dominos one of them?
Badge😁😍
Love that song👍
Before Cream, Spencer Davis Group with lead singer Stevie Winwood
Eric is a cool dude. This is my favourite Clapton. Other good ones are:
Lay Down Sally
After Midnight
Wonderful Tonight
Cocaine
There are lots more! Clapton was good in Cream, too.
White Room
Sunshine of Your Love
Spoonful
BELL BOTTOM BLUES IS almost AS GOOD...JUST BEAUTIFUL...
Look up history of this song.. so many of his songs are written from his personal experiences.. this one and the sad "tears in heaven" hit me . Because it's real feelings. In the end he got the girl.. but as all this game in life.. the story didn't end there.
The story of Layla and Majnun is a fairytale from 1001 Arabian nights. A man is literally driven insane by his unrequited love for a woman. Layla was the object of Majnun‘s desire. Majnun translates to crazy or insane in Arabic.
He was on his knees, begging her to leave George Harrison. It worked.
People heap all the blame on Eric but at the end of the day she decided to leave
@Shame nolan apparently they would refer to each other as “husbands in law” which is awesome.
@@scottcrosby-art5490 I don't blame her, George Harrison supposedly cheated on her multiple times.
I still roll down my windows, crank up the volume & sing it at the top of my lungs every single solitary time I hear it come on the radio while I'm driving. Ove of my all-time fave songs & guitarists.
Check out the singer Bryan Adams he has some great songs Summer Of 69,Cuts Like A Knife,Everything I Do I Do It For You, If You Ever Loved A Woman, All For One with Sting & Rod Stewart, & The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You plus so many more
“Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman” is my favorite song by Bryan Adams ♥️🎸🎤🔥🎤🎸♥️
Run to You
The one Bryan does with Tina Turner Its only Love.
Vickie Ray A friend of mine played that song at her wedding, in the middle of the service, and when the officiant (her dad) came back he said, “you never really know how long a song is until you play it at your wedding.”
You should check out "Something" by The Beatles, written by George Harrison about the same woman. Frank Sinatra called it the best love song of the 20th century
Eric Clapton is Brilliant 👏 😍
Props to Steve Gadd kicking major ass back there. Nathan East on bass. A rhythm section like that is inspiring, no wonder Eric played like he was 28 again.
Mr. Slowhand himself 🎸🔥🎸
Graffitti around most walls in London around 1968, over 50 years ago..........ERIC CLAPTON =GOD........................bot, literally, but along with Hendrix/Gallagher of the guitar....

My kids told me the reason a person breaks out in goose bumps when they listen to music is because you don't just hear the music, you FEEL the music! I suffer from that same affliction!
EC🎸❤️
He had Duane Allman play beautiful slide guitar on the original.. ✌️❤️🎼
Clapton aka GOD to many guitar players including myself. :) Check out the original Layla with a band he was in called Derek and the dominoes. Duane Allman is his guitar dueling pal on there. That one gives me goosebumps. Especially when we lost the young talented Duane Allman soon after that was released in a fatal motorbike accident.
Oh this is my song!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I’ve definitely got to have a smoke with this one. Thank you love!!
Btw, please listen to the acoustic MTV Unplugged version of this as well (even if you don’t react to it.) Totally different vibe.
Hi Girl....you got good taste! I love best the original Layla with Derek and the Doninosand Duane Allman!
@@karaminalee that one is cool!!!
Tracy Meroney Hi love!! Can’t go wrong with anything Clapton or Duane Allman!!
“Layla” was a song Clapton wrote, with Dominos drummer Jim Gordon , about his forbidden love for the wife of his close friend George Harrison (she eventually became Clapton’s wife). The song was inspired by Clapton’s reading of the classic Persian unrequited love story, the epic poem Layla and Manjun.
🤣🤣🤣 your reactions are great!
Eric Clapton is great as well. Please listen to more of his songs! ✌
Music unites... it's everything, it has no colour, it makes you sad, it makes you happy, it makes you sing, it makes you dance, it makes you think, it's bringing back memories, makes you think about life, makes you fall in love... Hearing this song is a mix of feelings, very powerful! Can't imaging life without music!
He had a 4 yr old son that fell from a 49 story apt window years ago. I can't even imagine the pain Clapton and his family felt. 😭 He dedicated a song called "Tears In Heaven" to him.
That song was on his UNPLUGGED album, which also included an acoustic version of Layla, which is terrific. ✌
@Barbara Stewart. I think I remember that but I can't remember if Unplugged was on MTV or VH1. It was awesome! Nirvana I think it was one of the first Unplugged shows.
@@gingersnap22 Didn't see any but Clapton. About the same time he released an all (or mostly) acoustic album. Love the acoustic Layla number and a song called River Of Tears. Had it on cassette. Haven't looked for it in current "technology ". Sure it's there. Probably here on TH-cam. ✌
@@gingersnap22 th-cam.com/video/iZV7akaSo0s/w-d-xo.html Think this is Clapton Unplugged link.
Thanks Barbara!
i remember listening to this song when my dad would be jammin' out in the garage. i only remembered it because of the last couple minutes of instrumentals. it puts you in a daze. Layla and Maggie May by Rod Stewart are the only 2 songs that stuck with me because of their ending instrumentals. classics
He is an amazing singer and guitar player..... now you gotta do the song Cocaine by him....not the live version... please and thank you 🙏
Great shout 👌
Idk man I like the 1978 civic auditorium
Undergroundwalker Isback it just doesn’t sound the same like on the radio..... I like the live version.... but I think sometimes you should hear it the way they played it back in the day... and the remastered ones take out certain instruments.... add more of something else.... 🙏
Tim Billings ok I give up
That's the worst song I've ever heard!!! Just completely stupid 😑. Anytime I was in a bar and the band started singing this creepy song id just walk out, actually I would literally run for the door!!
I saw Clapton live when I was about 13, unreal. But it was outdoors and raining which somehow made the power cut out! He couldn't tell, i think? But we missed like 80% of 'Layla' 😭😭😭😭
Btw if you're doing lives, do Leonard Cohen 'Famous Blue Raincoat' *IN DUBLIN!*, the older he got the deeper and better his voice got. He did it after his friend/business manager ran off with over $5mil of his money so he did a big tour. He was 71 and always hated touring (after this, though, he warmed up to it a lot). Then he gave a big chunk of his earnings to The Heart Foundation. Amazing man AMAZING VOICE and amazing poetry!
Bro, ya he is a cool dude, after he got off of Heroin, and coke, he found out that Stevie Ray Vaughan was i n hospital in England, he went to visit him and offer him help, they had never met before, SRV got clean, due to Eric's help. they became friends, the Night that SRV died in the helicopter crash At Alpine Valley, , Eric was supposed to be on that helicopter, but he gave up his seat to SRV because he told eric, I need to get back to Chicago and do some business, Eric did that, otherwise Eric would have been killed that night, it is you never know Man, this is a true story , check it out, r.i.p. to all, and the Music will be heard forever, Cousin Figel
The, Clapton giving his seat up for SRV and the they had never met, portions of your story are not true. The only truth to any of this story is that Stevie died in a helicopter crash and that Clapton beat dope and visited Stevie in rehab(they’d known each other for years prior) and provided motivational support. I don’t know if Clapton is cool? I don’t make assumptions. Sounds like you were told the Buddy Holly, Waylon Jennings, Big Bopper story. The SRV story is that Stevie, Jimmie & Connie Vaughn were told that 3 seats had been reserved for them on one of the four helicopters being used that day. When the Vaughn’s got to “their” helicopter, Claptons agent, body guard and asst. tour manager were inside buckled up, with only one seat vacant. Jimmie & Connie are still with us today. How the story ended is self explanatory, tragic and now history. During the deposition of the wrongful death lawsuit the Vaughn’s won years later, we were told that Stevie had offered Robert Cray the fourth seat. Whether the Cray story is true or not, I don’t know. I do know it’s irrelevant and it’s what we were told.
THIS STORY still gives me chills,
Jeez man.You crack me up.Goosebumps is a very good guide to whether you love something.Keep'em come my friend.
I feel like there should be a "get Mr. Video a guitar" donation fund.
Someone offered to send him one with some other gear-
Eric Clapton was at the Crossroads of Rock and Roll. He played on a Beatles track, then married George Harrison's wife. Great guitarist who had an Allman play on this, probably his most famous song. Probably helped a lot of people discover Bob Marley via his version of "I Shot the Sheriff". Never wanted to be a front man, just loves the music. Major problems with drugs, and has said some very controversial things. A good example of how people are complicated and capable of amazing, and sometimes awful or sad, things.
“Cocaine” studio version is a must! 💜❤️✌️✨
LOVE LOVE LOVE Eric Clapton!!!! And Layla is one of my all time faves.
Cat Stevens bro. CAT STEVENS BRO!
He's my top 5 guitarist of all time. I'm 59!♥️👏 love watching your reactions everyday! Humor is the best for everyone!👍🤪
Hells yeah, I requested this lol I KNEW you would dig this lol
I highly recommend Bon Jovi - "You Give Love a Bad Name"
Yes!!! And “wanted dead or alive!”
Eric "Slow Hand" Clapton has been inducted into the Rock N' Roll hall of Fame three times! He is Awesome!
You should react to : sultans of swing, from dire straights it's reaaaaal good .But if you do...react to the live alchemy version it's so much better than the studio version. Anyways, great content..... Keep on doing what you do ☺️
I know this is old. My late mother was a cardiac nurse. Once when Eric was performing in St. Paul,MN in the mid eighties, he had a medical emergency and was in the cardiac unit where she worked. She was his nurse on the overnight shift and said he was a perfect English gentleman. She also to care of Sting around the same time. Sting wanting to repay the nursing staff for taking care of him but they couldn’t except gifts. He decided to give out his autograph instead. He gave my mother 2. One for me and one for my sister.
If you enjoyed this song, check out Cocaine by Clapton.
I second this request. Seen them play in Hollywood. Florida that is no Cali. Was killer!
That song is the worst that Eric ever came out with!!!😐😐😐 Sorry, it was just a creepy and raunchy song...
Checkout the original first. J.J. Cale, consider one of the most important men in rock.
@@rhondamcbath6279 To each their own. I love the song!
I like it. That song was some hard truth. Ask Ozzy.
I wanted the second instrumental part played for my wedding ceremony. I still can. Holding on to that dream. 🤗
a top 5 is so general. david Gilmour (pink floyd) is number one for me, but as an emotional guitarist, not technical as such. Clapton, for his longevity, so many classics, is in the top 10 maybe. but im not a guitarist. most great guitarists can do what they all do, but thinking of it, writing it is a different thing.like in this video, the guy playing the catchy guitar tune, isnt Eric, its the balding guy next to him, yet whats his name? who knows :)
This song took Clapton to the next level of greatness and solidified the fact that his guitar playing was among the greatest. I tear up everytime i witness greatness too.
Inspired to listen to Eric’s entire catalog! You must! If you love music, you gotta know Eric Clapton! 💚✌️
I think Prince is in there also
Damn well should be!
He was Clapton's pick for world's best guitarist.
Jimi Hendrix said that Terry Kath was better than himself .
Three great love songs all written about the same woman. As others have mentioned, "Layla" was written about George Harrison's wife Patti Boyd. After she divorced George and married Clapton, Clapton wrote a song called "Wonderful tonight" about her. Long before all of that, when he was still in The Beatles, George wrote one of the greatest love songs ever written..."Something"...also about Patti. In the '90s, after they were divorced, Clapton toured with George and they performed both "Something" and "Layla" together. Speaking of love songs....I haven't commented in a while because I got married last Wednesday! Lockdown love! - GOAT in Thailand.
Oh how I love that you get goosebumps from classic rock! This song was introduced on the album “Layla” by Derek and the Dominos (Eric is Derek). That version also has the legendary Duane Allman on guitar and it is jaw-dropping. Changed my life.
Lala One of the top 10 songs from the 1970s
That version of the song has been on my phones for over 10 years now. And it will be for the next 30 years!
E.C. is a jammin artist to say the least, he's got pile of hits in his career, very distinct sound&style, now about LoverBoy's Lovin'every minute of it, 😀 when you gonna get to it?
He'll love every minute of it!
@@johngammon7891 I think so, if I can bug him long enough to review it and I will 😀😀😀I'm relentless 😉👏🙌
This is not well known, but after Mr. Clapton's son died in a tragic accident, he actually became a Christian. He released an album called "Pilgrim" about his spiritual journey. "My Father's Eyes" was the most notable hit, but I thought the whole album was masterful. He is referred to in musical circles as "the slow hand" for his style of guitar playing, which he is completely amazing! He does an "unplugged" version of "Layla" which I find amazing! He has done SO many other albums, from blues to rock. I would recommend "Blue Eyes Blue", "Cocaine", and "Wonderful Tonight". "Tears In Heaven" is a must listen. You're my favorite reactor! You are so cute, I just want to adopt you! Keep up the great work!
read the wikipedia article on this song - lots of trivia - who layla was, who it was written for, who was credited as writing the second half of the song, and who really wrote it.
--- also, the original studio version had TWO top 5 ever guitarists playing on it.
also, check out the "unplugged" version of this song. complete redo.
Duane Allman
Both versions are amazing but I had only heard of the acoustic version before this this one recently and I'm almost 40 lol
@@Blackmjc I'm 60. this was on the radio when I was a teenager.
Jimi Hendrix even said Clapton was his biggest influence.
Eric Clapton was alot like SRV.
Influenced so many people on the guitar but incredibly more, changed people's life personally.
You need to do his song he wrote for his son.
Tears in heaven
He already did.
th-cam.com/video/PP_HygugJ5E/w-d-xo.html
Yes, yes, yes....you want to tear up! It's that good!
And yes,... it truly is beautiful. You just don't want it to end.
Gotta hear the original version with Duane Allman... also find the video of a 13 year old Derek Trucks slaying the outro of this song, 4th of July 1993.
Eric,s nickname is slow hand. If he broke a string during a song or a concert. He would take his time restringing it to perfection. One of the greatest around. I love to see someone your age appreciate the talent of past generations. You keep this fifty year old entertained which I hope was your goal besides learning about awesome music!
If you ever see Clapton in an ensemble he takes the background position. He doesn’t need to show boat. A true gentleman
Eric was once asked by a reporter what it's like to be the best guitar player in the world, instead of taking that credit, his response was "Ask Prince".
‘Layla’ is a classic. Legendary soul music.
My top 5 guitarist list has at least a few dozen players in it these days, there's just too much goodness. The original studio version of Layla features another young guitar legend that didn't make it to 25. Duane Allman was an incredible slide guitarist for the Allman Brothers, whom I'm betting you'll get to at some point. It's awesome getting to see someone learn about the greats!
Graffitti around most walls in London around 1968, over 50 years ago..........ERIC CLAPTON =GOD........................bot, literally, but along with Hendrix/Gallagher of the guitar....
Please react to The Bad Touch by The Bloodhound Gang. Thank you!
I've been wantin The Bloodhound Gang and some Butthole Surfers!
if you really want to see how good he is with the guitar Plus want to see how good that Brother is on the piano PLEASE! listen to OLD LOVE that same concert. it will blow your mind
My mom took me to see him a few times, every concert before this song the place goes dark, EC lights a joint and puffs a few times sticks it in his guitar strings and than they play Layla. This song was originally Derrick and the dominos song( Clapton band). On a side note smoked my first joint at an EC concert😁
Sounds like you had a pretty cool mom with great taste in music!
Check out his duet with B.B. King on "The Thrill Is Gone" Also "Crossroads" it's a mind blowingly great song.
The original guitarist who played that with Eric Clapton was the great Duane Allman from the Allman Brothers Band.
Eric Clampton was one of the greatest guitarist of all time!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥love me some Eric baby!!!!!
Now you should try the slow version
Yeah fantastic!! I believe it’s just the unplugged version- it became a hit all on its own!
Its hard to imagine an artist recreating his own song, but that slow version is so beautiful, its hard to decide which I love more.
Believe it or not that's the first version I ever heard. I like this version is well but not as much as the unplugged version.
People talk about Jimi, Prince, Etc.. BUT Eric Clapton is Undeniably Thee Man.. The Legend...
The number one greatest rock and roll song of all time.
In 1967, someone spray painted Clapton is God on a wall in London. I agree... Keep doing what you're doing, Leo. You're bringing us together one video at a time. :-)
His nickname is "slowhand" because he is so cool and calm when he`s playing his guitar. "Slowhand Clapton"
My husband and I have been to many many many Clapton concerts. My hubby passed away in 04 but He was the best guitarist and he loved Clapton. Our son now plays and I gave him his guitars. YOU HAVE TO HEAR "WONDERFUL TONIGHT" from 24 nights. That was one of my hubby's favorites. The last concert we went to together was in Cleveland. The Blues . Stevies brother Jimmy opened for him and it was amazing. All Blues. Main floor center 11th row. The night before we saw him in Cinci.This is great but live will blow your hair back guy.I love your reaction o this. A true music lover can't help but react like you did.
I can’t watch you do this version. You must listen to the original studio version with Duane Allman. It’s a masterpiece. This is 20+ years later live.
Eric Clapton has been teaching the world to play guitar since the 60s...
Years ago, Rolling Stone ranked him #2 of all time right behind Jimi Hendrix.
Got to hear CREAM " Sunshine Of Your Love" !!!
I remember having the same reaction as you when I first heard it almost 50 years ago. I cried.
His song Tears in heaven, for his wee son who died,..beautiful
Eric Clapton is a fantastic guitarist ranked very high on my list to 🏴🏴🏴
Jimmy Page has to be there in the top 5 🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥
David Gilmour..🌌🔥
Hendrix, nuff said
@@nicholaschamberlain6239 Hendrix was asked what ir feels like to be the World's greatest guitarist and he replied " Why Don't You Ask Rory Gallagher !"...
@@Isleofskye read that, I think it was in an interview?
There's more than 5 guitar players that fit the top 5 position.
Nicknamed: "Slowhand"; certainly one of the smoothest guitarists in Rock! Thank You Mr. Video♡!!!
The guy who played the "Layla riff." through most of the song is Andy Fairweather Low. He fronted a band called Amen Corner in the 60s, and is a great guitarist .
" Amen Corner" is in Tooting, S W London.
I am from that era but S E London....
