Lyrics:
Don't you know what is wrong with me?
Seeing things I don't want to see
Sniffing things that ain't no good for me
Going down fast, won't you say a prayer for me?
Got to get better in a little while
Got to get better in a little while
Got to get better in a little while
Got to get better in a little while
The sun is gonna shine on my guitar someday
Revolution all across the land
Just like Sly, you got to take a stand
Please don't hurt nobody, don't knock them down
Give them a helping hand to get off the ground
Still one thing that you can do
Fall down on your knees and pray
I know the Lord's gonna answer you
Don't do it tomorrow, do it today

....and just like that a man in a shirt plain and simple ,standing on a stage , no fancy lights ,no theatrics , with a guitar blows everyone away . Strut your stuff Eric to the ends of the earth . 🎉
For sure just did it again last Saturday night for me
Yessir. It's all about the music.
He is the best, simple. How not to love him.
Here there & everywbefe
give me a child
I'm an 67 year old drummer. Everything is absolutely perfect about this live recording. And being a drummer, Steve Jordan has the best sounding snare that I've ever heard live. And I know I owe most of that to Steve Jordan. The man knows how to hit!
I love Steve Jorden. He is mesmerizing.
....and just like that a man in a shirt plain and simple ,standing on a stage , no fancy lights ,no theatrics , with a guitar blows everyone away . Strut your stuff Eric to the ends of the earth .
I am 62 years old and have followed him since I was a child.
Thank you a million for what you have contributed to music. From Spain.
Almost 62. Lovin’ every minute.
❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉qwwq❤❤ 5:12 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
51 aquí... siguiéndole desde los 16. No habrá nunca otro.
yo con 17 y es de mis favoritos!!
Steve Jordan has the entire band moving!!!! Unbelievable!!!
And now he leads the beat for The Rolling Stones!
And Willy Weeks.
I'm 71 and had the good fortune to spend my college days listening to Cream...they made the insanity of the 1960s tolerable and life worth living, at least for me.
Me too….!!!!!
For me too ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely!
Absolutely ! Damm right sir !!
@@stefanchristoff1507 You are right!!
This is probably one of THE BEST examples you will ever find to illustrate the importance and the affect of playing the pocket.
Right after a few bars, you can see the keyboard player is bopping, Willie is bopping and then the song just explodes.
Steve Jordan's performance on this song, in my opinion, puts this live version on my MUST HAVE and MUST HEAR Steve Jordan list.
The man is playing "unconscious". Just hard, steady and no gaps, needless fills and holds the line like bedrock. Amazing percussionist.
This is nice
do you know who is playing bass ? Is that Marcus Miller?...what about the background vocals the two ladies?
@@tommycall355 Bass player I believe is Willie Weeks and 1st female singer is Michelle John / 2nd female singer I don't know.

I've been listening to Eric Clapton for about 57 years. Never gets old.
One of the most enjoyable artists to ever grace this world
He makes this world a better place to live in I have known that for 45 years! I am 60 years old now. Thank you Eric Clapton.
yes.
62 here and your absolutely right
Simply put, WOW for the ages
60 here and Eric saying cause the sun is gonna to shine on my guitar someday is like Michael Jordan saying maybe I can learn how to hit a jump shot someday......
@Rick Bray VERY TRUE ! I wish I could be brief but..its not easy.
But growin up in the 50's was not all about what kids needed.. Being a teen in the 60's meant go out and start saving for your dreams.. But we did find Cream, '67 Doors, Stones, Beatles, Neal Young.. and 50 more greats that were exploding with great sounds and lyrics.
Which ALL did take us with THEM and we are generally tougher and more greatful than kids that were coddled.
Of course Eric was mostly spoiled and overall as lucky his grandparents kept him close and much- loved AND even got a guitar!!/s. and Art School!!
Blue collars did not often get STUFF..but we found a similar friend and we . Getting by with a little help from our friend..and Cream did flaming great blues all their own..a and sooh original.
I sure wish he would tour inside the USA..he lives NY AND CALI..
BICOASTAL IS just unfair. Since he lives in Cali. And toured Europe twice in lat 6 years..and many London gigs under the radar.
I wish I could at least get their impeccable SOUNDBOARDS.
The profits could SAAVE THE WORLD!!
OR THE Planet. OR STOP THE CRUCIFICATION OF PEOPLE DYING OR LIVING IN THE WORST OF PAIN. THE FEDS Have NO proof of our sickest overdosing or misusing or sharing what keeps them alive. Feds just now to pharmas who bribe with gifts and vacations worth a chalet ..also given for bribes.
As the sick suffer and hi-dose fentanyl From China..is being blamed on pharmaceuticals..which have fractional and ultra perfect dosage which is not made to party. it saves suicides..or..it used to.
Eric may be unaware but he is someone who now lives with very tough pain. He gets the best pain help. others are now cut off and aggressively prescribed products that do not help the higher pain levels that do ruin lives. It never creates addictive behavior for those in worst paIn.. because pain patients now and a let a appreciated the reasonable relief and prescribed dose is the only way it works for decades + allows a livable life.
I know too much about the deadliest pain that often comes from a long life of hard work or basic sports and even fitness. Or- deformities. And botched surgeries with no re-do. +too many Illnesses or conditions with no cure and all who can not even stand, sit up, eat nd drink..without softening their pain.
End of "Why we can't let Feds go on taking bribes and blaming our sickest who can't protest, can't re vel..Can't organize and work to organize some of the 40 million being treated worse than pets and even suicides. yes its as dirty fact. and of course the news anchors don't. share the Feds betrayal of our sickest. or they, too get big money to turn away from betrayals of our vets and our sickest.
Steve Jordan: Using the simplest of sets, no fancy effects, minimum micing, doesn't even look like they have in-ear monitors,,,nevertheless he's spot on throughout the entire 8 1/2 minute groove! His left foot never stops...the hi-hat slapping all the time. Totally precise and restrained with class. Man is he good!
BTW, Charlie Watts' personal pick as his replacement for the current Stones tour.
oOoO good one
Dude's a human metronome for sure.
I first became exposed to Steve on John Mayer's "TRY" CD. Instant fan.
Yes, and I saw Jordan with the Stones. He did a great job!
Amazing I commented on Max’s reply also
He brings the Pocket in & out so smoothly
It’s unbelievable.On a simple set.I don’t see no ear monitor or anything.Total concentration.😎
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
Clapton's use of the wah, particularly during his live playing, is at once tasteful, erotic, controlled, and explosive. So damn good!!
Not a competition, but love how Stephen Stills handles the wah as well.
Great call! Totally agree! He’s a magician on the thing! “Go Back Home” on his first album, and “The Love Gangster” on his Manassas album are just two examples.
Hear him on White Room with Cream. He picks the splinter out of it.
Yes!
"Tales of Brave Ulysses" oh man what great use of a wah pedal - also the very beginning of his solo with it on "Presence of the Lord" - man, just fantastic.
Having saved himself from personal drug abuse, Eric founded the Crossroads Guitar Festival, which benefits a drug treatment center (The Crossroads Center).
One day at a time.
Right On !! !!
Yeah baby, still doin' it
His higher power saved him. Ask him. Read his biography. Those in recovery know.
I soo admire Eric Clapton both for his musical talent and his conquering drug addiction. 😍
Can we all just appreciate how Eric Clapton is in full on Dad mode? Button up, wind breaker, jeans, & moccasins..... I love it!
😂 yeah man! And dad is still the king!
Clapton is God
I love how you see the old rockers that use to wear high heel shoes and boots now wear old man running shoes ! Lol
I never get tired of watching and listening to Eric Clapton play guitar.
I am too! 👏👏👏 🎸🎸🎸
Same here, been listening to Eric for 50 years unfortunately like many great musicians from my time are in their 70s. Not much time left for these great musicians unfortunately.
Mee too, it is so simple: he is the best of all time, forever and ever.
THE DRUMMER AND THE BASS PLAYER ARE BOTH AWESOME
+Roger Lee Meyzindi The drummer is now playing with the John Mayer Trio
Willie Weeks and Steve Jordan!
+Mario Fletcher Thanks for the info Mario
+Suzy Thompson now ? Steve Jordan has been John Mayer's drummer since forever. He produced almost all his albums.
Mayerforever
Steve Jordan used to be in Paul Shaffer's band on the Letterman show.
The drummer is earning his money!!! Just think about whailin on those drums for 5 plus minutes non stop, sweat poring off him!! He earned every penny of whatever he got paid!!! The level of talent is simply off the chain!! Had the whole show on dvr. Simply awesome!!
Nola Style
yes
steve jordan
your favorite drummers favorite drummer
Hell yeah, the band is workin hard & Eric wow!
No matter how many times I watch this video, I''m still floored by the level of musicianship of the whole band.
Me too Daniel, I can't seem to get away from it either! It's close enough to perfect for me!
Life got you down? Just sit back and listen to musical perfection. Awesome how each member of the band work together to create a magical experience.
All I can say is WOW!!
And also : " Thanks God !!!!! )
Totally agree. I love this song and love to play along on my guitar.
if we listen we get better in a little while !!! ciao

His voice was always underrated. Total package.
Guitar with voice.
The greatest.
It’s funny he doesn’t find himself a good vocalist
I agree 😎

Peace, strength and love to all that are listening in June of 2020. Perfect song for this time!
Ron Reina I'm listening to it in July , but me being in control of me I'm going to join you in appreciation .
🤘😁
Sorry, but it WON'T get better. This tyranny is here for good...
Cold beer the track on full.. I live in the country.. No fecking neighbours. Its loud believe me
Getting worse folks (10/2020)
The more I listen and watch this guy perform, the more he blows me away. Eric Clapton is amazing!
Been doing that to me for 50 years 🤪
Where you been???

@@kimberlyfuschini5134 perhaps in your heart... who know!
Mr. Clapton is so fun to watch when he gets in the zone. I got my first electric guitar at 13 and Mr. Clapton was my teacher. What a great song!
wow ur really lucky to have him be your teacher
The thing I admire the most about Clapton besides his great guitar work is how he's so focused all the time.
Thank God he survived it when so many others didn't..
From the first guitar beats, to the lyrics, to the ending, it's all perfect. Timeless, and what a powerful song. Thank you Eric Clapton.
Eric has to be the greatest guitar recording artist known to man.
67 here. Whoya ! Witnessed CREAM on their Goodbye Tour at the then "Fabolous Forum" in Los Angeles. 1st concert AT $6.50. Followed this man from the Bluesbreakers on but no matter who he has played with you always....know its him. Articulate, clean, fast, gracious on stage and soooo soulful. Thank you indeed Eric Clapton ! We on the senior tour were so lucky to actually see live, EC and the other amazing axmen mentioned below in our life time. Gonna be a good while before such collective musicianship comes this way again. What a ride !!!
Steve Jordan lays down such a solid groove here...it just adds volumes to Eric and his playing of this song...
It sure does, a solid beat. Brilliant Steve.
I believe it is Sonny Emory with Steve Gadd.
@@thejawshop-AdventureRecording During the current (2021) gigs yes, but nothing to do with this video from 2013.
@@thejawshop-AdventureRecording nope you’re wrong….STEVE JORDAN
I’m 17 and about to graduate from high school in June. Thank you Eric for your beautiful music that helped me through the stressful time in the college application season.
I’m 80 & have been a fan since he first came out. Long live the guitar solo! Listen to the old stuff and you’ll learn about genius. Lind80.
Early 2000's I was an Australian trawling blues festivals in Texas. Happen to be abit dutch ? haha
And he'll always be there for ya. Need to get jacked for a workout or a night on the town? E.C. gotcha. Need to hear someone who is relating to your heartbreak or hear someone tell you their story which is a million times worse, thus, making you feel better about your situation? Slowhand gonna smoothly guide you home. Need to rock out so you can stay awake for that long drive? God will keep your eyelids from getting heavy. Wanna know about some of the greatest American and English music history? Professor Eric will make easy to grasp. Need to learn about women? Eric Clapton can teach you what to do and what not to do. But if you are back at your crib with a lady-friend and y'all are getting romantic? Slowhand gonna greatly increase your chances with her unless You somehow manage to screw it up? Then, Mr. "Clappin" gonna sing and pick you a Blues song that will soothe your loss.
Always down in the double trouble :)
and I am older thandirt & still grooving to Slowhand's music 🎶 Eric Clapton 4evah
Super underrated groove. Clapton, per usual kills it here. Also Steve Jordan on drums never hurts....
Steve Jordan pushes the rhythm like no-one since Buddy Miles.
Bass player and drummer are the meaning of groove. In some parts of Eric soloing I still find Eric from Creams's era. Outstanding performance overall
'Let the Groove be your Guide'
Looks like Steve Jordan on drums. Not sure who's on bass (maybe Nathan East wearing a hat?)
@@RhiannonFan Willie Weeks was on bass.
Doyle Bramhall II... In my eyes, the greatest sideman a legend could ever have
Josh Schmoyer:
the apprentice
Totally agree with you!
Josh Schmoyer .uk
Josh Schmoyer ... I Agree with you 100% ... Doyle comes from Rock & Roll Royalty ...
Then u must not know about his Daddy.
And all the bands WITH SRV ..AND 4-5 BIG SONGS HE WROTE FOR SRV when they were HOT (+never cooled down) .. HE PLAYED DRUMS. Did his own thing too..WAS IN CHGO on tour
WITH Charlie Musselwhite no less.the whole band cooked.The place was on fire. The whole band was possessed. Insane guitar.
We lost him about 9 years ago..at 61
P.S. thats
"Doyle Bramhall 1"
was in the audience and this totally blew the roof off. A good portion of the acts before Eric were playing slower or acoustic songs. Eric came on stage about 4 hours in and his energy and vocals were 110%. Love the interplay between Doyle and Steve Jordan at the end on the triplets
Wow. I was also there. My
Seats were “on the moon”
But me
And my
Brother snuck down to get a better feel. It was absolutely amazing .
There’s only one Slow Hand. We’re going to miss him when he’s gone. What a legacy of pure rock guitar he’s amassed over six decades.
Amen!
he will never be gone.........not really gone
@@blueberry2846 - I’m happier knowing he is in the world.
Never gonna die. Has to outlast me or there is no God!
He's still here. And in the end, God never goes away.
Top of their game , Clapton is a legend , his entire band are amazingly talented people , Paul Carrack etc Doyle Bramhall II solo at the end is also top notch , reminiscent of Claptons original 70s live solos plus a lot more. One of the best live songs ever done.
This all makes people happy to live on Earth! It is worth living even in a time of Russian aggression !!

Love, love Eric Clapton's music 🎶 and very much admire Mr Clapton ❤️
Honed my skills as a Bass player listening to Clapton, never gets old , almost got to see him in Frankfort in 70 or 71 but it didn't happen,came back home and put him on the turntable,ha ha .
Clapton is the zenith of blues infused rock. There is no one that will ever fly higher.
Yes Sir...
Joe comes pretty damn close
Slowhand, magical!! Eric has remained so relevant & inspiring for over 50 years. His playing has aged like wine.
And what a classy spokesman for the blues!
Love him, still singing Bell Bottom Blues at 67
@@michekids AMEN!🎶♥️🔥⭐☝👏🎸

i just turned 65 and i realize that i'm listening to Eric for more than 50 years now ('though at the times i was more into Jimi ;-) ) - GREAT PIECE!
Steve Jordan will give you all he has...and kick it up a notch. Stellar!!!
Eric Clapton is one guitar player I could never get tired of listen to, I could listen to the same song few times and still hear something different, I could never get a computer good enough for storing all the generations of blues music to blues/rock etc. I have watched all the Eric Clapton crossroads guitar festival concerts TH-cam. Wish I was there in person to hear the great music. Never hear music like this in Australia. America is so fortunate to have a great music culture and history they have. Wish I was there, TH-cam is as close as I can get, God bless America for great blues artists throughout many generations
Yeah but your doing it and keeping the music a live with in you...
Right On Brother !! !!
You do realise that Eric Clapton is English?
Some of the greatest blues performers are British. One of them didn't even play a guitar. That would be the incomparable Joe Cocker. American blues artists worshipped his voice and soul.
♥♥♥Σ(っﾟДﾟ；)っ♥♥◌⑅⃝●♡⋆♡LOVE♡⋆♡●⑅◌
I love this performance. I remember seeing Doyle near 6th street playing some tiny place. These dudes are special to us that have "lived the life" and recovered. God bless anyone who reads this who is suffering with addiction. Remember.. God don't make junk.
23yrs sober, one day at a time. I use the same statement at the end of all my shares, "keep coming back it works if you work it, God doesn't make junk." 😘
Not to mention Doyle plays his guitar upside down, right-handed guitar played left-handed like Hendrix. Didn't notice when I saw him with Clapton in Charlotte in '01.
Love the idea of him praying ❤
First saw him when I was 19...almost fell out of the first row balcony trying to get a better look. Loved him then, love him now and I am 70, he is the best guitarist I have ever seen and I've seen them all.
You saw Stevie Ray Vaughn?
Skydog?
@@johnbergh1961 Yes! He was pretty darn special.
@@kevinfutterman9142 Yes! With Clapton and with the Allman Brother, of course. He brought me to tears.
What about SRV? Do you know what EC told Buddy Guy about SRV on the way over to Alpine Valley the last night?

Amen!
I would say the sun IS shining on his guitar today!
I can’t go by this video w/out playing it. Whew
Eric has been a treasure for about 50 years; we’re very fortunate to have his talent and hopefully for a long to come
I was about 14 rows from him the other day and he's still killing it! He tore this song UP at that show too. I'd say this was maybe my favorite song of the night if I had to pick. The ONNNNLY thing I wished he would've done differently at that show was to play at least one Cream song but that's just a selfish request on my part. He's still an all time living legend. No doubt.
@@SimpleManGuitars1973 I saw that same tour 9/21/21 in Nashville TN. It was GREAT!!! I do wish they would have done the electric version of Layla after they played High Time We Went for the oncore. Even though we did get the acoustic version it would have been awesome to get the electric version.
@@markhaus2830 I also wanted an electric Layla and honestly thought he might do both because he has before. The acoustic one was great too. The acoustic song I really was hoping for was Change The World. I was at the Nashville show too btw! Marcus King rocked it and so did Jimmy Vaughan.
British treasure, lol.
If you are listening to this in April 2020, this should be our theme song..balls to the walls song of hope so well done...
Oh yeah , i had just kicked the damn thing, 2 weeks of hell.. now Im drinking one

Doesn't get much better - thanks Eric!
Clapton is a musician of many parts, playing, singing and writing all at the highest level.
People forget what a student of music he is and that informs his flawless taste in his choices.
That backbeat is so cool. Crack. And all the drummer's fills are exactly the tastiest thing to play. The snare's nice tight sound sort of updates the tune.
But, not the greatest mix in the world...smudgy.
Give the bassist some love.
@@Nounismisation the vocals could be de-essed for sure
Paul Carrack
Fucking great, moves me, makes me happy...
A clear message of hope for these times right now. It's got to get better in a little while.
Need of the hour
As a drummer and Clapton freak, these two go together like a grilled cheese sandwich.
When I'm feeling down, one of my uplifting songs..
Well, I've been sick with who knows what since early October. Very scary time 8n my life. Somehow I found this maybe yesterday when I was giving up. Thank you, Eric!!

God has a poster of Eric Clapton on his wall.
Underrated comment
There’s the joke about the guy who passes away and ascends to heaven. He’s greeted there by St. Peter, who gives him a tour of heaven. The man sees all the angels and wonderful things. Then they come upon an old man with a long beard and dressed in a robe, wailing on a Stratocaster. “Who’s that?”. “Oh, don’t mind him. That’s God. He thinks he’s Eric Clapton.”
yea you right
So Clapton has a poster of himself?
..wow! Clapton, JJ Cale, Derek Trucks & Doyle Bramhall II together, they rocks the block...
Clapton is the all THAT and then some!!!
Full Spectrum Man 🧜♀️
The sun's been shining on Clapton's guitar since the sixties
Amen
since he first picked one up!!!!

FOR SURE!! xoxo
I think he was referring to when he is dead! :D In other words it will be his grave marker. If you look at the song as a whole I think that is what he means. Things have to get better because they are not! Just my impression of the song. ;)
2024 or its just me 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
Overused comment
I'm 59, and I've been watching and listening to Clapton since I was a kid. I knew early that good classic rock was my thing. I liked the Stones and LED Zeppelin as a 8 or 10 yr old. But Clapton and Hendrix were the best.always have been in my mind.❤❤
Can't tell you how many times I've watched this. Holy Moley!
Don't wait until tomorrow. Do it today. DO IT TONIGHT!
AMEN. 🙏
In a little while.., sun is gonna shine ✌️
Clapton's voice has matured to a point that it gives more depth to the lyrics. Great performance!
+Jenifer Young he sings better than never in this song
when he wants, he has the most soulful voice in the planet (when he wants)
The old blues singers got their gravely voices from whiskey and chain smoking.
Simply the best
I agree with you
Most singers’ voices have gone bad by age sixty. Eric’s has gotten better wit time. Simply amazing.
The master at the top of his game. Transcendent.
ive been a big eric clapton fan since his days in yardbird, i still think hes the greatest blues player ive ever heard.

Hello how are you doing today I hope you are having a nice day today
Hey Mary stay on the same page and watch and listen this man could teach you a lot of things
Nobody does it like Clapton! I'm almost 68 and dam, he's still out there stylin'. Gets me and my walker out there on the dance floor! Don't retire until you put out another CD, Eric!!
Man, Steve Jordan is groove machine!
AGREE 100%
Great here and the same on the Blues Brothers "Brief Case Full of Blues" album
The man is a beast
No doubt! Also on Blues Brother live "Brief Case Full of Blues"......a hell of a musician.
Steve and Willy propel Eric higher than any other rhythm combo of the last 20 years
The groove that Steve Jordan and Willie Weeks lay down at the break is out of this world, man what way to take the stage!
Great song writer and musician Eric Clapton! We are the same age exactly both born in England and I,ve enjoyed his music for many years. Keep well and good luck!
Admired this man for over 50 years and can' t get any better .
Not to mention the talent that surrounds him .
Tough as nails. That distinct EC tone gets you every time. So glad he's still here and playing!
There are alot of varying opinions when it comes to Mr Clapton...but in my eyes he is one of the most influential guitarist there has ever been...he is in the same category as Hendrix and Beck and Page and a host of others that were influencers...but if you really start digging slowhand really was one of the first to really turn the blue's rock genre on its heals..he will be forever remember as a pioneer... period...🎸🎸🎸
"Going down fast say a prayer for me!" I am 65 now. At 17 I thought I was god incarnate. Met the Master Yeshua. Never will ever be the same. Have already by His mercy escaped a knife to my throat for the gospel of Jesus. My time is over when He says so. Love you Eric! God bless & keep you safe! Bro. Continue ministering!

Dear Eric, the sun shines everyday on your guitar, your voice and your supernatural and ageless talent. You are a real living legend.
This riff is the sexiest most stylish groove ever... perfect use of wah pedal
I counted a lot of riffs And none copied
Checkout old school Clapton....."The Core"....audio
He invented it. He should be able to play it.
How he got the sublime tone he did in Derek and the Dominoes with the wah engaged all the time is a true mystery... it’s genius.

@@CheriLexvold wow that's encouraging,i really appreciate you love and concern towards my career may god bless you,have you been to my concert before?
He is a master of the wah-wah pedal, and one of the first, if not THE first to use it for the blues. My absolute favorite guitarist, bar none!
You couldn't ask for a better performance from Eric, he definitely had it going on.
The mid-song guitar break...it was like the guitar was speaking to us.
Clapton IS God! This has always been one of my favorites but it's more relevant today than when he did it years ago. I'm just glad he's still alive! It's going to be a very sad day when Eric, and Bob Dylan, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and the Rolling Stones are no longer with us. Losing Tom Petty, George Harrison, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and SRV all way too early was bad enough.
In the space time continuom of things the chances of hm being heard in some-other space and in some-other time will not be by chance but because E.C. has payed his dues time and again he"s not only earned his place in this world he"s earned his place in the universe and I believe that not only GOD would agree and his son but the E.T."s would to.
Well said…. Clapton is God and he is indelibly etched into the soul of rock and roll forever

Good song for progressive religious organizations
Eric is the embodiment of all the blues and rock guitarists that came before. And the guys and girls that came before, were wonderful tonight…
Still listening since 1966 I am 73 he’s always evolving!!!!!
i was at the Royal Albert Hall, London in 1968. There was a supergroup called Cream playing on stage. They blew everybody's mind. 45 years later Eric Clapton takes the stage once more. Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker are no longer with him, but he's amongst the cream of musicians once again. Minds are blown again as Eric bares his soul! He's a rock legend!
Msg same year I
Got lucky
Cream, Awesome! Eric in Kingdome 1980 something. Cool.
This is the best version of "Got to Get Better!" Clapton's aging process rocks!
He is, without doubt, the most effortlessly talented and cool guitarist of all time
I'd say that he's in the same league as Knopfler, Gilmour and the late Prince and J.J. Cale....... all masters in their own right......
Nope he is in the league of Jimi Hendrix, SRV ,Jimmy Page ,beck.
@@dpac956 not even close.... J.J.Cale was his mentor, and they were often on stage together.... maybe your exposure to Clapton isn't wide enough to inform you of that. ;)
M.J. Vander Mark maybe your exposure to Clapton isn’t wide enough but Hendrix admired Clapton and covered cream songs, Jimmy Page got inspired to form Led Zeppelin after watching what Clapton did with Cream. Beck has always admitted in interviews he was very jealous of Clapton when he was in the yardbirds and his band mates always talked about him. Cale came later in the 70’s after Clapton had reached his stardom.
@@utsavgurung6283 JJ's After Midnight recorded by Eric was his first solo single and reached #18 in 1970 and his album reached #17 in the US propelling Eric to solo stardom and Eric has often said how JJ was a big part of his success. JJ in addition to being an amazing songwriter was a very gifted guitarist. As far as who's in who's league, personally I liked the way Rolling Stone magazine graphed it years ago, at the top was God, a little below God is John Lennon, Clapton a little below John, and then down lower everyone else.
A modest and unassuming gentleman. Go Lawrence.
Top of their game , Clapton is a legend , his entire band are amazingly talented people , Paul Carrack etc Doyle Bramhall II solo at the end is also top notch , reminiscent of Claptons original 70s live solos plus a lot more. One of the best live songs ever done.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Love this man, just one of the greatest, Thank You Eric for providing us a constant stream of just great music!
Clayton's bigger now than he's ever been
Me too
Hi Jack Green, Eric is one(1) of the Best GUITAR in the world,I did read a article in the 90's ,And now we are 2022!
I’ve been following the evolution of the blues since the 50s when I first heard Bobby “Blue” Bland. The “ I shot the sheriff” days weren’t my favorite but through the years Eric has been my favorite. Slow hand.
1Juemadre:
that song..was the first Reggae hit in the USA he asked Bob Marley if he could record it first.
and
IT HIT NUMBER ONE.
SO.. it was not the sexiest but it has greater EC versions now. And so does Bob.
But at that time it
it took a big star to introduce reggae and get heard.
If i find my fav version I will give u the title later for ya. links get erased sometimes.
.. Try "Eric Clapton, Live in Hyde Park".. 3+ million like it. me too. 1997 or 98.
look for the same , "Live in Hyde Park" -title ..
1997 or 8.. 3 million -plus Is IT!
Its a pretty loaded concert. upbeat. In my old age I replay certain albums. yes we all know many but this one is an allanswering gem for me anyway.
often played once a week or-- repeat !
It kind of has a call ( that comes to me to play it) and- repeat! kinda like how the blues started. back in the killin fields one sang out a call and another answered. as u probably know.
blues sure do speak to our souls and hearts. not all boo-hoo at all. its more like-seldom 'boo-hoo'.
Cheers blues lover..!
I got the fever too
especially live..sometimes, when possible.. or against all odds.. a road trip!
Chicago misses a few. me too.
"There's still one thing that you can do. Get down on your knees and pray. I know the Lord will answer you!" You are SOOOO CORRECT, Mr. Clapton!! God bless you!
Amen, CeCe
Wow! Saw him in 68 with Cream, 69 with blind Faith, and here he is thrilling me with a 2013 knockout performance. So glad he survived drugs and found happiness with a great family,.
I have always loved the way Eric will let the other guitar player whomever it is take a solo. Classy man
That's class
Doyal Bramhal II is the "other guy" Clapton hired him for the heat
@@brothermike2506 Doyle is good but I was talking about Eric and how he hasn't played this song well for a long time.
Doyle's killing it with that solo at the end!
What a legend is slowhand, so cool. Legend. Great steady drumming by Steve Jordan.
