I love that Clapton watches Sonny's solo with absolute admiration in his eyes. And rightfully so!
I really love seeing them hug at the end.
Vince Gill said watching Sonny was like algebra. He just couldn’t understand it.
I live in Lafayette and get to see Sonny often. Will see him with Marcia Ball 5/19/22 at Rhythms on the River. Saw him last week at the Festival International de Louisiane here in Lafayette
Nonsense. You're ascribing some human virtues to Clapton. The guy is a money grubbing, self promoting turd of a man.
Clapton said that Sonny was 50 years ahead any guitarist in the world. He IS impressed.
Hot Damn ! Sonny got the usually stoic Eric to put some body English on his licks.
And a smile after they nailed it.
Yes. Same old hackneyed pentatonics! Eric has deffo lost it. Give him a 335 or an SG someone!
@@lesbois53 Love them. lift a glass to "hackneyed pentatonics"
lol he is so into Sonny's gumbo , he's kickin out that leg like a dawg when he's scratched just right :)
The title is "Promised Land". Sonny is the greatest modern day guitarist, IMHO. I have turned several frniends on to Sonny, ALL of them came away from the show absolutely raving about him. I will see him whenever he is in town...
My sin is worse than yours . cant number the times have seen Sonny's band booked at some club in houston . and didn't follow up to check him out . just lumped sonny in wth kenny wayne shepherd and assorted mid tier players. i guarantee you , will not pass up experiencing this master slide player LIVE again.
Landreth is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time and deserves to be named up there among the best! Brilliant pairing on stage this Clapton loves it!
Agreed, and I'm way too late to the conversation. Clapton has the rep, but Sonny is pretty darn close in ability. Two totally different styles, but it sure works together, one of the best duets I've heard.
Gavin Clelland never too late! Agree with your comment. Different styles but sonny is a master at what he does. Effortless.
Underrated? By who? Only fools can ignore him!
Sonny is one of Derek Trucks' only peers imo.
@@GoofyJester587 I prefer Roy Rogers at the Country End and.Sonny Landreth at the rock end Sonny has a distinctive sound & I liked him with John Hiatt back in the day.I have seen Rogers,Landreth,Trucks & Sardinas Live in Australia.
Clapton has always found the best cats to jam with!
Clapton is really cool about letting other people shine.
That's class
It also sounds good.
Sonny is the one of the best slide players in the world and when you add that to Clapton letting others shine it makes amazing music.
He did the same with John Mayer..Clapton is one amazing human being.
I always reckon it's the sign of a really REALLY accomplished virtuoso musician. The difference is that, when a solo virtuoso comes on stage everyone else sounds plainer, when a true virtuoso comes on he sounds as good but everyone else also sounds better. (Moore v Gorham. No contest for most of course but, personally, I always rate Gorham higher as a band musician.) It's the 8th, 9th and 10th Buddhist Bulls in action!
Zwei der größten Guitar-Heros zusammen auf der Bühne, ein Traum.
Eric's solo is divine !!!
Just when you think it's over, he carries on .what a generous musician !!!!!
One of my favourite live performances of Sonny Landreth. The drummer you see in the background is Doug Belote. He hails from New Orleans, Louisiana. This is his first really important gig. He was asked by Sonny Landreth to fill the spot and tells the story of how he was really shaking when about to play in front of 50,000 people. He says, "I'm thinking, Eric Clapton just told me to count it off with 50,000 people watching." What a great story!
Great Story about the drummer!!!
Drummers?....those are the guys that hang around musicians...right?....I'm kidding.
theyre the ones evry guitar player wants to be:>
He is very good
Teachering I
Whenever I watch these Crossroads clips I gain a lot of respect for Clapton's generosity and humility.
Sonny plays behind the slide with his others fingers. An incredible technique.
I noticed that too when I saw him up close in a live performance at a small venue. Another thing I picked up on his how he uses other parts of his hands when he plays, i.e. not just the fingers. He's the real thing!
I watched an interview with Greg Koch, and he was talking about it.
@ Greg is an incredible guitarist. IMO.
Sonny is a monster with a technique that is just humbling. I found out about Sonny through an Edward Van Halen interview. He was Eddie’s favorite slide player and you can hear how Sonny influenced him on the song “Ballot or the Bullet” on the VH III album. So thank you Edward for giving that shine, just like Eric did later with his Crossroad shows. I love how Sonny brings out the fire in Eric on this particular performance. Great players tend to do that to one another and when it happens, it’s so special and rare.
I love these players and will always be inspired by their God given gifts.
I miss you Eddie, you were simply the GOAT and will forever be missed. 🙏 🎸
I think Clapton always sounds best when he has another master to play off of. Landreth is awesome.
Those 6s got ran through the shredder.
Wow. I haven't seen Clapton play like this in years. He is clearly such a fan of Sonny's - he is just watching every move Sonny makes as he shreds the stage after Clapton's solo. In-credible stuff.
lol Its Sonny that was inspired by Eric clapton to play guitar and is a big fan of Eric. Eric's always the boss though he admires Sonny
I think it's one of the very finest duet as far as great guitar playing.... I could think of Mark Knopfler with Chet Atkins or Vince Gill with numerous other players... all different styles, but definitely all among the very best ones....
Amen to that Bob!
clapton rips here and looks like he's having a ball.
absoluteley great combination Sonny Landreth & Mr. Slow Hand
Look at the smile on Clapton's face. It: "Says it all."
Always glad to see Eric capture some of that old fire that he innovated in the Creme days. It was gone for a long time but his energy here is pretty good, especially following Sonny.
IT DOES... LOVE HIM
@anchovyrancher4255 Agreed.Eric, is literally beaming ,as Sonny struts his stuff. like a new papa
Most of us in awe of these two guitar legends, but gotta give props to the rhythm section here. In the pocket and tight af.
They are ,like a freight train
And yet another reason to be proud of the music that comes out of the Lafayette, Louisiana area. We are truly blessed!
Yes Indeed! New Iberia here.
I remember when I lived in Breaux Bridge there was a club (I think it was named Mulate's) and he played there. A friend was a sound man so I knew he was playing there and I could kick my own a$% for not going to see him. My friend and his wife were going and I could well have gone!!
Sonny isn't shy about getting it on with anyone, because he can! Can we have a little love for David Ransom? He's one of my fav bass players. He's driving it right along here but perhaps overlooked.
I wondered who the bass player and drummer were!
2:00 is why Clapton is a legend. It's his thought process for me. How he holds that unison bend and adds tension to his intro of his solo. I know hundreds of guitarist that could've started off with a bunch of notes but is telling a story and it comes off almost like he's speaking. It may not be one of his greatest guitar solos but he's doing what he does and he steps out to open the floor for Sonny. He's playing along with the band not trying to overplay. He gets in and out never overstaying his welcome.
Never heard of Sonny Landreth till watching this on Palladia. Never seen slide played like that, Kick ass!
Same here !!
I've discovered a lot of good music thanks to TH-cam's suggestions.
Sonny Landreth is one of our greatest treasures...I was late to discover him but am glad I did.
Wow... the tone of Clapton's guitar here is absolutely perfect
That guitar player uses his fingers behind the slide. Ingenius.
Chills every single time I watch this.
You need balls to share the stage with Sonny Landreth. That's why EC became legend: he always played with the best and became better. Plus a great songwriting AND a very special voice. The package made him so unique - guitar, singing, songwriting. His book of great songs is huge
I love this. Clapton and Landreth, both long-time faves of mine as they can really shine. I keep hearing a lot of Clapton's Crossroads lines from the Wheels of Fire take in here, fits the tune nicely. Thanks for the post.
Two of the finest modern blues guitarists in the business right there on that one stage. And though Sonny is about six years younger than Eric, he looks about 10 years older!
I remember a few years back when Mark Knopfler had Sonny as a guest for one of his specials, and he was so impressed with his talent that he took a step back at every opportunity to allow Sonny to enjoy the spotlight...and that from a man who was treated like a red-headed stepchild by all the big dogs when he first came up. Props to Sonny, props to Mark...no comment on Slowhand.
I've talked to Sonny a couple of times after shows. He is one of the nicest people I've ever met. We stood around in the street and talked guitars, music,women etc until 2:30 in the morning. He is a true gentleman and a fantastic musician.
As I’m immersing myself in the blues and slide... my journey has brought me here today
Epic performance 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🔥
Sonny is a master of slide.
THE Master.
no kidding
IMHO Best slide player I have heard since LOWELL GEORGE. Now that is a statement. Apparently the great Eric knows too.
Check out Chris Whitley..."Home is where you get a crossed". Sonny, Chris, and Duane are my three fav's for slide work.
Landreth is smokin' fantastic.
These two together is great
Two guitar greats together at the Crossroads Guitar Festival. Sonny kills that slide baby!
+Matt Gunnell
Couldn't have said it better myself my man! Badass!
Brilliant playing by everyone involved. Sonny is a force of nature. And Eric...what more can you say...he's the man! Love this video.
Clapton said he would always adapt his playing to the player. If it was old school blues he could keep it simple but he loved guitarists who pushed him. You can see it in his solo here.
Sonny-shine. His rhythm still rocks. Thank you, Rhino.
Clapton is obviously enjoying Sonny's work. How do you have to be to have Clapton as your backup guitarist? This rocks
There is some wicked good chemistry there. To be followed up , I hope.
Sonny has an amazing voice!
This made my day!!!! Thank you TH-cam suggestion box. Thank you Sonny. Thank you Eric
2 great blues players playing at the top of their game.
Mah boyz
No one does what Sonny does better than Sonny.
Sorry bro...He's a Lafayette based musician....and we are proud of it. New Orleans has enough of their own...you need to at least give us this one! I might add that David Ranson on bass, and Doug Belote on Drums are two incredible Lafayette musicians as well (and yes I understand that Dougy lives in NOLA now, but he's still a hub city boy!) haha. Shall we say 'Another great Louisiana based musician?'
Rhythm section top drawer.Doug was solid, same for the bassist.
Brilliant playing by everyone involved. Sonny is a force of nature. And Eric...what more can you say...he's the man! Love this video. How the hell could anyone dislike this video? jeez
Saw Sonny Landreth at Grant Street Dance Hall in the early 90's. . . .Blown Away !!
Two greats at one time.. Please guys, stay in good health, you keep a lot of people alive by just sharing time on a stage for us sometimes.. Nothin like seein you live.. your souls shine, and we need love so much more than ever now. Peace! stay well.. let's change the world. it just takes the faith to try.
Only one word..RESPECT!!!!
Sonny is killing it.
effortlessly just changes his style of play to suit the song... claptons unbelievable!!
I never thought any living guitarist could blow Clapton off the stage until I saw this video. Landreth is just blistering, smoking hot and on fire in his playing. I lost my breath watching him. Clapton seems to be enjoying watching him as well. 😜😜
It's called , "call & response", man. it's not a pissing contest.
DAMN!!!!! Sonny Landreth IS EASILY in the top10 guitarist of today and I have never read about him in guitar world or anything!?!? Thats nuts, he has to be the best slide player down to him or Derek and I think Derek would tip his hat to Sonny and you hear about Trucks in every guitar magazine......no Sonny? This is THE dude when it comes to slide, and on a Strat, that thing sounds so amazing. His tone is amazing, is he playing a Dumble?
Thank you for such a great break from work. You had me dancing in front of my computer! Great Stuff!!!
Virginia Patton
Sonny Ladreth, another great from the New Orleans music pool.
Gets better every time I listen to it.
Agreed.
fantastic!!! Sonny Landreth is a great guitarist!!
I saw them in 1971 at the college dance hall that was just down the road from my house. That same year I saw, at the same venue: Chicago, J Geils Band, BTO and Poco. I was 8. The shows were free. I just wandered down there anytime I heard music and just walked in. How things have changed!!!
Wow..I could watch these two duel for hours!! Great stuff here.
Always good to see Sonny putting on a lesson!
Just - awesome. Landreth and Clapton, trading back and forth. What a great combo. Not a bad backing group, either!
They bring the best out of eachother. Epic!
Eric is so high on Sonny's gumbo . man, even his rhythm duties have some tasty flourishes.
extraordinaire ! CLAPTON ne joue jamais mieux que poussé dans ses derniers retranchements, retrouve ici des accents datant de l'époque CREAM ! monumental SONNY LANDRETH tissant sa toile, tirant un fil où ces deux funambules s'élancent; qui permet à CLAPTON de taper du pied tout en jetant un regard en direction terrifiée et admiratif en direction d'un SONNY magistral ! ce regard en dit long quand SONNY LANDRETH, tout absorbé dans son jeu, tient la baraque monumental
Sonny and the Boss , rock and roll at its best
What a great rockin' song!!
Sonny is the most underrated guitarist ever, he easily would come in my top 10.
So refreshing to see Sonny shine .. and Eric learned a lot ....
My Friend DOUG BELOTE from NOLA. Jammin with the Heavies! Sounded Great my Man!!
Sounds great, do you know who the bass player is?
@@Bassman8416 Tim Allen
Ummmmm? Incredible!!!!! I do that all the time in my dreams....Thanks Sonny!!!!!
My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Sonny in new hope PA after his show at Havana's a couple of years ago. He was great and very nice and humble gentleman.Such an underated player. His albums are fantastic. No- he did not play thru his Dumble amp. He had his Demeter and a 4-12 cabinet on the road. It appears he's p;laying his Dumble here though. Eric should tour with Sonny's band. Much hotter show!
Can't get enough of watching this! Sonny! Wow!!!
Sonny is amazing! Great chops!
I've heard of Sonny but this is first time I've ever seen him. He's shockingly good. I really dig his voice. His singing kinda reminds me of 80's/90's Alex Chilton. I'm a new fan!
wow..let me recover from this...awesome
Saw Landreth a few yeas ago in Milwaukee at Summerfest with John Hiatt. I was right up at the stage. My ears are still ringing.
Two Masters- incredible.
It's like Clapton sees the 2nd coming of Duanne Allman..Just saw Sonny last week with John Hiatt. if anything he's even better now. Excellent, thanks for the post!
I read an interview and Sonny stated that Clapton just play&heard this song for the first time but he swiftly jump to lead and solo.
Master Class In Session !
And he woke up Eric! Good job, Sonny.
That’s badass
Idn't IT !!!!
Eric Clapton learning something new again.
Amazing.
Clapton being allowed to play with Sonny... wonderful. (Yes, yes yes I know, but Sonny IS amazing.)
Great performance by everyone Sonny is on FIRE !
I just love it when great guitarist sing, man i've been playing guitar since diapers, & Landreth could play circles around me, with just his pinky and 3rd finger. Just so much energy... Thanks for the listen.
If these two ever recorded together, the music produced would be amazing, to say the least.
You know that there's a really good guitarist with him if his face shows admiration!
Clapton looks in awe!!
James Burton looks in awe of both of them, from stage side.
The bass player here is Dave Ranson, who's been playing with Sonny for decades. Look up John Hiatt & The Goners here on YT.
I went to college with Sonny in Lafayette Louisiana back in the day. He was smoking hot back then!
Freakin` awesome!!!!
GREAT PLAYERS
Alright Sonny Landreth!!! Another great New Orleans based musician, yeah!!!!
4:00 - 4:12 must be the baddest guitar move I've ever seen.
+Benzel The grin on claptons face
Benzel , Try seeing Sonny 'Live' and up close!! Have never seen anyone play like him!
Epic solo from Sonny
Killing it!!!!
