This is beautiful. To all the haters in this comments section, if the tribute were to be just a cover with no changes whatsoever, that would be lame. Clapton made his own interpretation of the tune, and that is the best way to pay respects to a musician. All you haters probably can't even think of an interpretation half as good as Clapton's.
@@Coowallsky Hey man, all I'm doing is providing my take on the situation. You don't have to insult me for sharing my opinion just because you disagree. This is why the internet is in such a horrible state today. When people see that someone likes something they don't like, they get angry and look for ways to make the other person feel bad for no reason. Please don't do that.
estfantastica! everywhere in the world the one who let bass cry, jaco only. i miss you and if you are alive you must leave many more good play. your play is sounding now and forever
Absolutely a most Wonderful Tribute, from Eric, Mark, Nathan, Alan, Phil & Company! Jaco you're missed. (P.S. Don't tell Eric, but what a Superb Jazz guitarist he could be!!)
Have to agree….Critics relax….The fact that EC acknowledged Jaco in this way is a wonderful gesture…regardless of the “imperfections”. Kudos to Eric for the gesture.
I've been watching what you have been putting on You Tube for quite some time AND I must say, you have got some great ideas and great performances of Clapton...I just love that man and his music...Thanks to slunky 08 for all the great videos of Eric....
Lighten up jazz critics. It's not the Zawinul Shorter Pastorius triumvirate. They'll never be another. For Clapton to share his love for this most beautiful Zawinul ballad (which Joe wrote with Jaco's achingly lovely tone in mind) is beautiful. While Eric the (rock guitar player) plays some lines over the EbMaj7 - DbMaj7 vamp, I can see him grabbing his Stratocaster the first time he heard this tune, saying 'What a beautiful tune'.
Alcoholfree beer, decoffeinated coffee, meatless bratwurst. World class composition downgraded for a One-Dollar-Shop. Another proof, Clapton is immensly overrated.
Had no idea this existed. There's real love here.
Never thought I'd see this kind of tribute from EC ,wonderful.
Musicians brotherhood cries on heroes, left too early !!
R.I.P.
Clapton did a tribute to Jaco?!!! WOW!
I think the idea came from Nathan
...and he failed terribly!

You sure like to use childish cliches like “haters”. When you reach puberty, you’ll look back and see how infantile your comments are.

Beautiful tribute to The Grand Master Jaco Pastorius !!!
agree, finally a positive comment!
estfantastica!

Eberhard Weber maybe the most "singing" base player. Another genre, but somehow "jaco-esk"

Not heard this before, Slunky. A stellar line-up. Great to see you back :-)

An Organ player doing Layla.
Love Weather Report
I was lucky to be there!!
I believe this is Nathan East's favourite Weather report song😊
It's my fave. I found this when I was looking for this song, didn't know about this version. This is awesome.
Got goose bumps as the base started voicing after a good, mood setting piano intro.
Try "weather report" far superior
Nathan East played, on this occasion, an upright stick bass not the one shown in the pictures!
For those who criticize this loving tribute: Don't like it? Let's hear YOURS. On your own TH-cam channel, if anyone bothers to visit.
musician analyses not criticizes that version is weak sorry...i ll put on the original ,ahh itfeels so much better.....
Get over yourself.
Don’t turn it into Layla
Also played at Brisbane concert 1987
Eric Clapton didn't play RAH on 3rd January 1988. He did 9 dates at RAH between 25th January to 4th February. See whereseric.com tour archives.
Some tasteful tambourine here from Ray Cooper, always a commanding presence.
❤️💛🍀😃
A Tear for Eddie. by Ween! Beautiful songs!
Did jaco wrote a remark you made or joe zawinul?
Joe did. He wrote this song for Jaco's fietless bass sound.
@@くずはらこうじ damn thank you . Thats one of may fav song
Right song, wrong crowd!
a well intended tribute ... but damn , that was awkward .
🙀🙉🤷♂️
where is the tune?
Buried amongst all the CHEESINESS ;-)
@@monsterjazzlicks EC is expert in turning a Époisses de Bourgogne to American processed cheese
Nice thought, poor execution. This has almost nothing of the original composition, written by Joe Zawinul.
Absolutely Agree, Weather Report did it So Great that it seems a crime to screw it up!!
YIKES.....
Poor arrangement for guitarists not to be able to play on jazzy chords. Must listen beauty of original Weather Report.
Why they transposed the tonality to another?
To make it boring
Stick to blues rock, guys.
Not much left of the composition.
Played soulless and banal. Terrible.
Alcoholfree beer, decoffeinated coffee, meatless bratwurst. World class composition downgraded for a One-Dollar-Shop. Another proof, Clapton is immensly overrated.
Atrocious. Simply atrocious. Jaco died a second time.
@2:43 some dork guitarist plays a FLAT NINE on a MAJ SEVENTH chord! This version is so dreadfully atrocious.
It's an Ellaboration. Not a tribute or Cover, being that Joe Zawinal actually composed it, then Jaco laid his Bass on it!
Well-intentioned, Eric, but... Dire Straits plays Weather Report? Nah...
Complete shambles !
Why? It was a tribute,jeez.
@ Brbadge...Just my opinion, dont let it bother you. :)
compare to the original this just ugly..guitaroinoinoinoining over Zawinul masterpiece ?a joke..
Meh.
Dont ever do that again eric. Lol
Square and stiff as hell!
I could not agree more!
The bass line is supposed to sound "smooth", the bassist in this video just doesn't get it.
Lil'bassist254 difference between a fretted and fretless bass... and of course skill
It is a total embarrassment! Not an ounce of 'soul'!
I agree, this version gave nothing to the integrity of the composition. Not a hint of voicing. Nice thought though.
Disappointing.
