If you’re not familiar with Doyle, go check out green light girl that he does then also go check out arc angels the band he had with Stevie Ray Vaughan’s rhythm section and Charlie Sexton. They are the shit.
Powerful throaty vocals by Clapton. Awesome slide by Derek n Doyle. Drummer is on fire. Everyone on stage looks happy n enjoying. Great Live performance 👏
Top class men and women doing a good day's work. You can't beat this with a stick. One of the best live videos I have seen since YT began. Watch it every couple of weeks,,
Holy shit! Where to begin: so much talent on that stage. The rhythm section alone is as good as it gets - Steve Jordan on drums and the great Willie Weeks on bass. This must be heaven. Unbelievable. Seriously. Update: I keep coming back to this. Steve Jordan is a monster - the drumming is so good on this.
Starting with the late great Peter Green, best white blues guitarist ever out of GB to Derek Trucks up on the stage with him and others , you're so misinformed
That slide down the neck of guitar and back up into that first note is brilliant. Even Willie Weekes (bassist ) loves it in the background. Clapton is the guitar God !
@@melissatyree566 I'm the same. Seen him live I think 4 times. At Blackbushe he was playing mostly the Slowhand stuff, in Sweden he was on the Just One Night tour so you probably know that set (superb album) and the Albert Hall times were a bit "man in Armani suit plays laid back songs and some blues, sleepily." So I've never heard him play this or even Layla. I've got this concert on DVD and it must have been mega, with this being the best version of Motherless Children I've ever heard. Yeah, lucky Tom. :)
Wow...what a great drummer ! Have to say that 1st in case i forget. But...this song, this vocal, this band....A++. A-mazing and tight. Wow, wont soon forget this number😊
I'm a guitar player, and a pretty damn good one at that. But grooves like this make me a bit envious of how much fun it must be to play the drums really well!
I hope the late great Blind Willie Johnson who originally recorded this 1927 is smiling down from heaven on all of the people who love the incredible music he created. It's so sad that Blind Willie's mother died when he was very young, and his stepmother blinded him permanently by splashing poison in his face when he was 7 years old. Blind Willie may have died broke, sick, blind and alone but his music will be around forever. I think Eric Clapton did a great job with this song, but the original one Blind Willie did will always be my favorite.
@@amherst88 I remember in his bio he mentions that he thought his grandmother was his mom but really one of his aunts was his real mom. He eventually figured it out. A great autobiography because he kept a diary from when he was very young. I need to read it again.
Duane and Butch are looking down with great pride. The proof of a great performance...the musicians are all smiling and having fun. The drummer is killing it.
What an amazing groove the whole band and Clapton changing seamlessly from rhythm to slide and back again three amazing guitar players a fabulous drummer great people on keyboards a fabulous bass player
There is no way for me to say one band was better than another I just feel blessed to even get to hear any of it so one thing I will never see me do is to compare nothin on life ECT I'm on this earth but make no mistake ain't of it at all just passing thru to get to the real deal❤
Even though Clapton is a little older it's still one of the best versions of this song!and the other slide players made it sound even more feral! Great!
This is hands down best versional of this song. I listen to it every single day when I'm running my Shepherds! Drummer is my fav- but guitarists are amazing too--thanks for this great start to my day
Yup. It's nearly note for note the same as the original on 461 but it somehow tops it with the extra energy. If I had to take one version to a desert island it would be this one.
Steve Jordan (Keith Richard's drummer) is a machine here. The other guitar player is Doyle Bramhall II who regularly plays with Clapton but also co-wrote some songs with Stevie Ray Vaughn. This thing cooks....
It was hearing this track that made me go and buy 461 Ocean Boulevard. I couldn't get in in my home town of Letchworth, so I had to go into Cambridge to buy it - an import. Great Album.
Thanks for that. I was looking for someone that said who the kid was. I knew that I'd seen him around, and just looking at him he screams Allman, and - as it turns out - that's actually right! I'm guessing that he played with the Allman's when I seen them some time in the 20'naughts....
I saw him for the first time way back in ‘74 at the Denver coliseum. Most recently last year in Denver. It was his last show on what I called his mini tour just prior to Crossroads ‘23
We played "SometimeS I Feel Like A Motherless Child", Billie Holidays Version, When We Held A Memory About Our Sweet And Dear Uncle Louis, Who Lost His Mother At The Age of Nearly 2 Year. Thank You All for This Song 🙏🕊️
Hello 👋 Mrs Nini,I really appreciate your encouraging comments towards my music, The best way i can reach out is giving you guys good music but that seems not to be enough, Here's my private channels to appreciate y'all, where are you from and how long have you been a Fan?
Oh I can remember this song back in high school but lordy with Derek Trucks and the the amazing drummer I don't think it can get better!! Hats off to you gentleman🎶🎶🎶
Just Marvellous! 3 slides over a wonderfull song...3 years ago? Maybe those young boys still learn what young AND old guys can play for long years...still be rolling, it's quality music, ART. Thank tou LIFE!
Thank you so much Eric, and crew, this is an awesome piece of music and you all played fantastically and with so much feeling too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
I understand now the choice of Charlie Watts, Steve Jordan is awsome as a drummer and the two Guitarists around Eric Clapton are excellent. Eric Clapton is always also amazing, nice rythm, nice sound of Guitars !
Saw him in Shreveport with Freddie King and George Terry. Absolutely the best live performance of anyone I have ever seen. Motherless Children was the one I remember most along with Mainline Florida and Have You Ever Loved a Woman it was something to behold. This clip was the closest I have heard to being that good.
I think that 2007 was the best year for the 'sober' version of Clapton. There was this concert together with the 2007 Crossroads one (his best). His band was great, and the triple guitar attack of Derek Trucks, Doyle Bramhall II, and Clapton himself, was untouchable.
Actually, I prefer Jimmy's slide, it seems to have more passion, dont get me wrong EC is terrific, I just gravitate more to Gods slide, In my time is just sensational.
Oha! So stark war 2007 "Live in San Diego"! E.Clapton, D.Trucks und D. Bramhall II - wahre Meister an der Gitarre. Und das Stück hat einen mächtigen Drive, auch wegen der starken Rhythmus Gruppe mit W.Weeks am Bass, St.Jordan, der drum-machine, Ch. Stainton, T. Carmon an Keyboard und Piano, und den beiden Sängerinnen Mi. John und Sh. White ...und dann noch das "SlideSolo" von Trucks/Bramhall II und EC, my goodness !!!

Triple slide guitar, don't think I've ever seen that before. Sounds great!
Eric Clapton bands are just the best. Those guitars are so insane that they are literally having a conversation. Thank you EC😊
A ÉCOUTER A GENOUX 😊!!!
That's what you get when the 'support' guitarists are Dereck Trucks and Doyle Bramhall!
Doyle bramhall and Derek trucks I've been to see Derek and his wife Susan and their band a couple times they are absolutely fantastic
If you’re not familiar with Doyle, go check out green light girl that he does then also go check out arc angels the band he had with Stevie Ray Vaughan’s rhythm section and Charlie Sexton. They are the shit.
Eric Clapton, Derek Trucks, Willie Weeks, Doyle Bramhall and Steve Jordan.... holy schmokes what a bunch :)
So is trucks old drummer for alm bothers kid
Just missing Duane, Ry, and George.
omg, thats a dream team lol
@@tarynciccarelloo57 nephew
All star line up, Eric Clapton is the man. This is how its done.
Powerful throaty vocals by Clapton.
Awesome slide by Derek n Doyle.
Drummer is on fire.
Everyone on stage looks happy n enjoying.
Great Live performance 👏
And Willie Weeks on bass. He is amazing.
Top class men and women doing a good day's work. You can't beat this with a stick. One of the best live videos I have seen since YT began. Watch it every couple of weeks,,
clapton on slide as well. i don't think i've ever seen 3 slide players at once.
@@pkoven yes
Steve Jordan is a beast
That Derek Trucks is a old spirit since a young boy and is awesome.
This combination is a winner, Eric, Derek, Doyle , and this drummer is ready for anything 🙌
This drummer is Steve Jordan, the man who's replaced Charlie Watts in The Stones
@@davidmellish3295great to learn something new.😊
The drums are by far the trickiest part in nailing this song. Especially the fills leading back to the main riff after the change.
Brother on the drums killed it!
Amen
His voice continues to richen and improve like fine wine. What an amazing talent. Can't stop listening.
STEVE JORDAN ON DRUMS IS INCREDIBLE..
And Eric??
@@miketaylor8510 CLAPTON OMNIPOTENT
Steve Jordan is a drumming god for me and he plays this song close to how Jim Gordon played it on the recording!!!
@@miketaylor8510 Clapton doesn't do the drums, dude
@@miketaylor8510 ⁰0⁰0
Holy shit! Where to begin: so much talent on that stage. The rhythm section alone is as good as it gets - Steve Jordan on drums and the great Willie Weeks on bass. This must be heaven. Unbelievable.

Omg yes! I just told my friend that I dont know a thing about drumming but this guy really stands out!
@News Now Adirondacks Katie Kissoon wearing the red skirt.
@@ianlambert8034 Not Katie Kissoon. Michelle John. The other backup singer is Sharon White.
Almost,not quite,but almost....Bonzo like.
And that can't be said of most drummers. Just mho.
🌹🌹
The girls are beautiful too 😊
Most underrated song by slow hand. Love some Clapton. He is the reason I play guitar.
One of his best , why he did not rock out more in his early days is a mystery.
Eric Clapton is and will remain the best blues rock musician.
Starting with the late great Peter Green, best white blues guitarist ever out of GB to Derek Trucks up on the stage with him and others , you're so misinformed
this live version has to be the best version of this song.
I just love it
Could well be, they were clicking, look at them smiling..😁
That slide down the neck of guitar and back up into that first note is brilliant. Even Willie Weekes (bassist ) loves it in the background. Clapton is the guitar God !
Amen
Hail to the the GOD of blues for 52 years of blues magic...
This is sublime. Steve Jordan is a legend....
Still one of the best live acts on the planet
My wife and I were at the show that night at the (former) Sports Arena in San Diego. Best concert I've seen, and I've seen more than my share!
Tom, how lucky are you.
Saw him many times in the 80,s when he wasn't playing this music from his catalog.
But, it is EC , fabulous.
@@melissatyree566 I'm the same. Seen him live I think 4 times. At Blackbushe he was playing mostly the Slowhand stuff, in Sweden he was on the Just One Night tour so you probably know that set (superb album) and the Albert Hall times were a bit "man in Armani suit plays laid back songs and some blues, sleepily."

you can see the energy flowing from Clapton to the rest of the band, when he get going. it's like the aurora borealis.
When you are a guitar god vocals some times go unnoticed Eric is so under-rated that way
Love Clapton if I could pick one guy I could play like it would be him for sure What a musician this guy is. Fan freakin tastic
@@curtismoff I watch guitar/bands on TH-cam/web a lot. Seen Zillion of them, and can't ever recall a Clapton video where he doesn't bring it.
Agree….like a good wine he’s just got better 👌
EC is always authentic, always playing from the heart and at times from the ballsack.
@@curtismoff , I'm comfortable in my own skin but it would be fun to be EC for a day
Wow...what a great drummer ! Have to say that 1st in case i forget. But...this song, this vocal, this band....A++. A-mazing and tight. Wow, wont soon forget this number😊
Eric always has the best accompanists!
On an EC jag tonight. Three of the best guitarists alive today. So good.
Clapton’s vocals are the best ever!!
I'm a guitar player, and a pretty damn good one at that. But grooves like this make me a bit envious of how much fun it must be to play the drums really well!

I think Eric Clapton did a great job with this song, but the original one Blind Willie did will always be my favorite.
How could there be ANY down votes!??
Omg that's so sad! Thanks for the info
Clapton does know a bit himself about not having a mother. . .
🙃🙃🙃🙃😊😆😊😊
@@amherst88 I remember in his bio he mentions that he thought his grandmother was his mom but really one of his aunts was his real mom. He eventually figured it out. A great autobiography because he kept a diary from when he was very young. I need to read it again.
Incredible set of musicians and singers there folks. They smashed that.
Duane and Butch are looking down with great pride. The proof of a great performance...the musicians are all smiling and having fun. The drummer is killing it.
2:35 3 slingers ripping it up on the slide - so awesome!!! EC is STILL God!!!
Absolutely yes!! They fkn killed it!!! Nothin but WOW!!
Herb Ellis and playing the same lines. I thought he was using a delay but the three of them were on it. Smoking
Not now.
All three guitarists are on the slide
What an amazing groove the whole band and Clapton changing seamlessly from rhythm to slide and back again three amazing guitar players a fabulous drummer great people on keyboards a fabulous bass player
Hahaha, three slide guitarists and they are having fun... It can´t be better! Eric Clapton, Derek Trucks and Steve Jordan. And the drummer OMG!
Oh. My. Word. Crank it up and give thanks to the Lord. Eric Clapton.
Dam the trio slides kicked arse.. Awesome guitarists here. What a Great Trio. Doyle, Derek and Mr Slow Hand.
Fantastic drummer !!!!!
Steve Jordan
He's a legend.
The best!
yowza
If he's good enough for Eric Clapton he's good enough for the Stones 🥁 🕺👅🎶🥁💎🔥👌
There is no way for me to say one band was better than another I just feel blessed to even get to hear any of it so one thing I will never see me do is to compare nothin on life ECT I'm on this earth but make no mistake ain't of it at all just passing thru to get to the real deal❤
Incredible mix of talented musicians.
Even though Clapton is a little older it's still one of the best versions of this song!and the other slide players made it sound even more feral! Great!
This is achient
If you heard the original with Duane Allman then you would sit up
I can't be more specific
Sorry ancient
@@neilangus4401 - Since Duane is no longer with us, having Derek Trucks brings this Domino redeaux very close to the original.
I actually prefer older Clapton, his guitar playing is still great, but his singing is so much better and richer than in his younger years.
If they were in standard tuning this was amazing slide playing. I always use Open G.
this is an example of why he is the great Eric Clapton and no one else sounds like him!
This is hands down best versional of this song. I listen to it every single day when I'm running my Shepherds! Drummer is my fav- but guitarists are amazing too--thanks for this great start to my day
Yup. It's nearly note for note the same as the original on 461 but it somehow tops it with the extra energy. If I had to take one version to a desert island it would be this one.
His drummer is incredible , don't see that much his timing is impeccable
I was at this show and it was incredible. The energy and playing was off the charts. One of the best shows I have ever seen.
I take off my hat before this 70 years old (back then) living legend.
3 talented guitarist up there.
OUTSTANDING
One of the best slide riffs ever.. plus EC, Derek Trucks, Steve Jordan? Are you kiddin?
Steve Jordan (Keith Richard's drummer) is a machine here. The other guitar player is Doyle Bramhall II who regularly plays with Clapton but also co-wrote some songs with Stevie Ray Vaughn. This thing cooks....
Bramhall also was a long time member of several bands with Jimmy Vaughn
Eric's Voice is fantastic in that song! 461 Ocean tuning , so great!
It was hearing this track that made me go and buy 461 Ocean Boulevard. I couldn't get in in my home town of Letchworth, so I had to go into Cambridge to buy it - an import. Great Album.
Love Derek Trucks to bits. Eric has always been the best. Monsters on stage.

The master period seen Clapton twice and he didn't disappoint
The Man, The Legend.

461 has to be one of the top 3 EC albums. Every song is great; my personal favorite is Mainline Florida, what a riff.
Thank God for clapton. How would we have survived without him. Seems unthinkable. 😎
Holy shit! How have I missed this? Three slide guitars? Ripping. Ive always dug Clapton’s slide playing.
