    Eric Clapton's charechter can be summed up in one word: gentleman. He delights at the success of others, and encourages new talent. I'm biased. I'm 75,and have been a fan since the Yardbirds.

    Eric is absolute guitar royalty. He's an old timer now, but he's still a competitor. Guitar players, especially high level players are viciously competitive. This young kid comes in and he's polished. This makes Eric feel like a young guy again. He's always seemed very polite and proper. That's because he's always as good or better than the other players. He's never threatened. A killer comes in and he's gonna sit up in his seat and drive with both hands. Love to see that dynamic.

    When they start playing you can see Eric is just a little unsure of how they are going to work together. But, as they go through the song, hand the ball back and forth and start to jell he relaxes. By the end when they are jamming together he has a smile on his face and they are just so in tune with each other. As Mark, my brother by another mother God rest him, used to say. Cool beans.

    I never tire of hearing this song and watching Joe & Eric play off each other! I read once that Joe said he played it pretty much exactly as he had learned it as a child from Clapton’s recording, and he was somewhat wishing he had improvised something new for this performance with Clapton. But not so fast.....I think Clapton is really enjoying this tribute to his own work…and I’m sure it was an honor for him to hear Joe play it perfectly! Clapton looks very pleased.

    Consider for a moment, how many guitarists would give up one of their teeth, maybe even a kidney, just for the chance to get up on a stage ONE time, and play just ONE song, with Eric Clapton to a sold-out venue. Now consider for a moment that Eric Clapton got up on stage, ONE time, just to play ONE song with . . . Joe Bonamassa, to a sold-out Royal Albert Hall! Just let THAT sink in for a moment.

    I think Eric is tickled pink that his career has inspired future generations of blues guitarists to carry the torch and play the music he loves so much.

    What a beautiful performance of Clapton with Fender and Bonamassa with Gibson. I just could not get enough.

    @francescotenti193 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Great .... video!! Clapton is always "generous" on stage with young guitarists and that is one of the reasons that Clapton is STILL GOD!!! And Joe? Besides playing great, he's having the time of his life, nothing better than that.

    • @andreasciarne3042

      OMG. Eric Clapton peaked with
      Cream back in 60's. Still a force
      To be reckoned with, but,"God".
      Naaah. Clapton made a name
      Playing with John Mayall and
      The Yardbirds. Not a bluesman
      However. Rocker? Not. Whatever
      He's given us a lot of great music.

  • @lonniesutter7064
    @lonniesutter7064 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    At about 2/3 of the way through the song you could see Clapton realized this kid can play, so let's play. Very cool.

  • @paulheagen6318
    @paulheagen6318 3 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    Joe tells a story about this where he was little-kid-nervous about inviting Eric to come and see him play at Albert Hall -- not because it was Albert Hall, but because Eric had done such an ep[ic performance there. He said he would have played at some pub if Eric had playered there as well. Eric accepting the invite. Joe said Eric's support essentially endorsed Joe as a player. Joe was sop gracious about Eric, and Eric was gracious in return. This is what sports calls sportsmanship. We all stand on the shoulders of those who have come before us.

    • @johnwilhelm9854

    Eric with total mastery of his Strat. Every note, every bend from the high notes to those “back in the alley” low notes as Johnny Otis would say are pure perfection. A true legend

    It doesn't matter next to which blues great Joe Bonamassa is, no matter with whom he plays, when he starts to play my heart goes out to him. He is not comparable to anything or anyone. The way he plays is unmistakable.

    Can you imagine, just 3-400 years ago, public performances like this were for royalty only. We are so blessed to not only see it at home, fully mixed for sound, in our own personal ear phones or audio system. To have these two men on the same stage is like having Ice Cream and Cake of the highest caliber for your dessert!!!!

Really, it is simply individual opinions that can not be measured, or rated at all. They are just observations based on our personal feelings, informed or not. No big deal.
