Eric's voice is so emotionally captivating. So beautiful.😥 The addition of Pavarotti just stunning. Then the instruments and the duet and then the choir. Out of this world. Amazing. Great reaction Harri. Thanks David and Harri. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
This song was written in memory of Richard Manuel, the soulful piano player of the group "The Band". Manuel had recently committed suicide while on the road with the Band. Clapton was a friend of Richard's. Now listen to the lyrics again. Richard wanting to be safe within the arms of our Holy Mother. The tune originally appeared on Eric's album August, and that version of the tune is my favorite.
Thanks for the background, I'd never heard this before and I'm glad someone, especially with Clapton's prominence gave voice to his and our feelings at the loss of such a beautiful soul and music-maker. His impassioned blues lines bring home this sense of deep sadness and sorrow, and hope of succor, salvation on another plane, maybe for his departed friend. 8''>)
For as long as I have followed Clapton (6 decades), I did not know about Holy Mother having been written in memory of Richard Manuel. Thank you for this contribution.
@@davebzen795 I was just reading where Eric came up to Woodstock, NY to audition for the Band. That didn't work out but he formed lasting friendships with the members. Here's a quote from a Clapton webpage, Eric says, "I was madly in love with Richard... At the time, [1975] we had the same troubles. I felt insecure and he was clearly insecure, and yet he was so incredibly gifted....For me he [Richard] was the true light of the Band. The other guys were fantastic talents, of course, but there was something of the holy madman about Richard. He was raw. When he sang in that high falsetto the hair on my neck would stand on end. Not many people can do that." --Eric Clapton
What a beautiful song, lyrics, melody.... emotions come from my whole body, heart and soul. Impossible for me not shed a tear. Holy Mother is a piece of art.🙏
Eric Clapton has suffered a very hard childhood and many tragedies in his adult life, not to mention addictions. I can tell you from experience, in the midst of a drug withdrawal, this is the type of prayer you will go to, if you are so inclined.
Wow😳 I thought over 52 years I'd listen to almost everything like this, boy was I wrong. When he started singing I froze Wow, thank you for this and whoever suggested it, now Pavarotti has begun, I want to cry 🤗🥺😌. I know nothing 💞🇦🇺⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
Two of my favorite artist singing together make this song so special and unique. What a wonderful treat, thank you for playing it so everyone can appreciate it.
Awesome song and reaction that lots of people relate to inane different ways. Wiuld live to see you do the Live Version of River of Tears by Eric. Thank you

ERIC is a survivor! He lived everything! Everybody can identified to him! The man was called GOD! Then, a young black Cherokee american man came, and desteoyed him! His name was Jimi HENDRIX! And, instead being jaleous of him, he became the best friend with Jimi Hendrix! Then Hendrix died! Clapton was destroyed! After, he felt in love with one of his best friend, called George Harrison, from the Beatles! After, he took Heroin, Alcohol, fought with all their demons, got a car crash, almost died, made overdoses of drugs, almost died..... And, later, lost his beloved son! Seriously, who could survive to so much terrible things? Personaly, i got a car crash, i felt in love with one of my friend's girlfriend, i took heroin, cocaine, but i never lost a kid! But, you can feel all what he lived, in his music, and his guitar is crying, you can feel it, when he's playing! A beautiful performance! Peace from France to everybody! ✌️👍🎸🇫🇷🌹

Eric’s pain is palpable ..filled with emotion…great performance by both singers…
Eric Clapton wrote this song with Stephen Bishop in 1986
Harri, find Eric performing this in 1986 with Phil Collins drumming. My opinion the best version
That whole show was awesome. I have the DVD

dude, check out Pavarotti and James brown
Pavarotti voice is so strongbo can hear trying to mellow it but he cant
😂did you just open this video by saying "hallo my evil, besties"👀
I believe he wrote this song after his young son died after falling from a window. Other viewers can correct me if I have this wrong.
Pretty sure this was after a friend's suicide. His son didn't die until the early 90's.
He wrote Tears in Heaven in memory of his 4 year son, Conor, who had died tragically in the early 90s.
See Walt W's comments as what he has written is correct.
It was tears in heaven that he wrote for his son.
He wrote this in the 80s after his great friend Richard Manuel ( of the band ) committed suicide, he wrote Tears In Heaven after his young son Connor died about 10 years later
My lord!! Clapton has been a major influence in my career, but DAMN! Pavarotti is just mind blowing! What a treat. Thank you, Harri
