Eric likes to cover his influences and music he loves but with his own musical voice. Many times his covers boost sales of the original. He also has a great voice!
I prefer Bob Marley's version, never listen to Clapton's, I recommend FOREVER MAN, BAD LOVE, I CAN'T STAND IT.
The original was by the Wailers before Bob went solo. Eric changed the way the opening lines were sung,I think for the better. Subsequent versions by Bob adopted Eric's changes. This was Clapton's only #1 hit and it helped bring both reggae and Bob Marley into the mainstream.🎶🏝️
Absolutely!
I mildly panned this cover in my comment above, but as to your final point about having some part in bringing reggae and Marley into the mainstream, it deserves love and respect and thanks.
As usual, great choice. But I’m surprised that this live version wasn’t recommended over the studio version! 10x better!

Eric, by his own admission, didn’t think he did the song justice and had to be talked into including it on the album. It wasn’t until a phone call by Bob Marley, telling him he liked his version, that Eric was relieved and then watched it go to #1.
Eric is a living legend. Yes he was singing on his cover of I Shot The Sherrif. Eric did a lot of covers. He idolized one of my favorite artists JJ Cale. It would be great if you two would react to JJ Cale's original version of Cocaine off his 1976 album Troubadour. Eric made that song a classic and covered additional JJ Cale tunes. Keep on keeping on gentlemen. ✌️
I think JJ Cale is a great recommendation. As genuine, sweet, and melodic as they come, with hard-won wisdom to share. Cocaine, They Call Me The Breeze (his shuffle rhythm fits the song perfectly), After Midnight, Crazy Mama, Rock And Roll Records, and many more great records.
Here's Eric Clapton and Tom Petty playing Rock N Roll Records, a personal favorite. Check out this groove:

Such a pity he's turned into a right-wing reactionary.
@@philipmccarthy6175 yep no argument from me on that situation. Sad.
Great tune, both versions❤️❤️✌🏽☮️🤲🙏
This one got dat funk on it doe.both are fantastic
Old Slow Hand-Eric Clapton helped inject Raggaè into USA mainstream music, with this cover. Love both his & Bob Marley's versions ❤
Happy 4/20💨💨✌🏻
I usually don't like covers especially an iconic one like this. That said... I do like this version. It's hard for me to no like something that Eric Clapton does. I like this arrangement. It's different enough to enjoy it on it's own.
What a great song, I didn’t know it wasn’t an Eric Clapton original, thanks for the details 👍, excellent channel!
Try Ten Years After song One of These Days
Awesome cover and one of Clapton’s most popular tune. This help grow Reggae music in the USA!
Interesting (to me anyway) that Clapton purists applauded this reggae cover...
...but critics took shots when he dipped a toe into country-western inspired radio hits ("Lay Down, Sally" and "Promises"). Not a dang thing wrong with those tracks IMO.
I agree 100 %
@@michaelhillmann3460
Idk...maybe I'm overstating a little bit. But you tell me: How many people hear "Clapton" and immediately think "Promises"? 🙋 I'm not just saying it for the sake of having something to say; that was one of my very first 45s, before I'd even heard of Cream or Derek & the Dominoes.
Happy 420 day 🌳😊
Check out Eric with CARL PERKINS (another GOAT) doing Mean Woman Blues....
There are some really great live versions of this....one from 1975 on the "Crossroads 2" box set is really fantastic.
Live from Hyde Park
Love some Bob Marley but yeah this is a great cover of his song.
I like Bob Marley's version, but this is a good cover too. By the way: HAPPY FOUR TWO OH Day. Black Sabbath Sweet Leaf vs Rush Passage To Bancok Day?
Great song from my youth, but like Bob's version better. Just want to double @oldskool4612 Old Skool here, and see if you'd react to some JJ Cale. Clapton spent a lot of the 70's covering or emulating JJ, it'd be nice to see someone react to JJ's originals like Cocaine from Troubadour, or After Midnight (or Crazy Mama or Call Me the Breeze or You Got Me On So Bad or ...)
I like Eric Clapton's work, but prefer Bob Marley's version of I Shot the Sherifff.
Try to answer to the master or the MC rap God is no joke
On the lyric, its hard to be modest
I knew I was the man with the master plan
To make you wiggle and jiggle, like gelatin
Just think while I sink, into the brain structure
(don't sleep on the e) you see, something might rupture
I don't take time for me to blow your mind
Take a second to wreck it because you're dumb and blind
So just lounge, cause you're a MC clown
Go join the circus, EPMD in town- EPMD: Strictly Business
Do the live Version of it. Crossroads Festival 2004. Fantastic!!!!
Eric's cover of this song in 1974 caused a huge interest in Reggae around the world. Not to mention it made Bob a very wealthy man.
Exact !!!!! Most of people don't know this FACT🙏
I was luck to see bob Marley and the wailers june 1975 Central Park.. they used to have concerts at the skating rink in the summer..
Good luck unraveling strands of musical influences, but it is peculiar that Island Records brings Bob Marley to London and suddenly the Police and Clapton have these huge hits. Marley was reportedly not amused.
I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t know the original. Growing up in the 70’s this was the version EVERYBODY knew and sung. More popular than you know.
As far as covers go, this was definitely honest, solid, respectful and true, but I don't see how it adds anything above the original. 100 out of 100 times, if I wanted to hear this song, I'm going with Bob Marley. Speaking of Marley, for lyrics, he is #1 for me with Dylan as a close 2nd. There is no version of a deserted island music list that doesn't have Bob Marley on it.
If you like EPMD, check out Rage Against the Machines' cover of "I'm Housin"
This version pale's in comparison to the live version from 2015, Royal Albert Hall. There's also another live one that's great, as well, but I can't remember where it was.
I just talked to my baby on the telephone
She said, "Stop what you're doing, baby, come on home"
I can't hold out, I can't hold out too long
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone
You said, "Baby, don't you worry, you're my heart's desire"
"You know that I love you, I can't stand to see you cry"
I can't hold out, can't hold out too long
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone
She said, "Baby, you can run, you can walk or fly"
"You know that I love you, you're my hearts desire"
I can't hold out, I can't hold out too long
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone, oh yeah
Talk to me baby, talk to me baby
Talk to me baby, talk to me baby
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone, oh
Marley's original, and Clapton's cover can be played back to back.
Guys like me watch guys like you listen to music we all love. Music is the great unifier. Humans were created for music, that's our purpose in the Universe. We were meant to make music. ❤
OMG…just imagine a road trip from Jersey to Florida and you’re father playing this song over and over again… please let me shoot the sheriff…
When it comes to the Eric Clapton version of this song, there are 2 versions that are a MUST listen.
The 2004 Crossroads edition which contains perhaps the best guitar solo ever (one of the greatest at least) -----> th-cam.com/video/90TRYJjZ0UY/w-d-xo.html and the 2009 Budokan version -------> th-cam.com/video/5qfQcOYDHZk/w-d-xo.html
Love your work guys!
During CREAM days Eric shared the vocals with Jack Bruce then in BLIND FAITH Steve Winwood sang vocals then from 1970 onwards whenever Eric plays guitar he mostly sangs lead vocals. There you have it!
Clapton most definitely sings as well as being one of the GOATS on guitar
With Eric Clapton, it needs to be live. Also around this time he'd just come of heroin after being a recluse for 3 years and was now a massive alcholic and coke addict
I just watched a TH-cam video of Clapton doing this song live at the Budokan in Japan April 2023 so he's still kicking it despite health issues.
Any live Eric video is good Eric. (oh, well just the recording ain't bad)
This song was all over the radio back then by Clapton. Much later I found Marley's version. Marley was not on the radio then. I like both versions.
That was Eric Clapton singing. Check him out on Change the World
Can't go wrong with either Bob or Eric both are great.
Eric Clapton, was best known as a blues guitarist,but he loved reggae. When he recorded Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff," it quickly zoomed to the top of the charts, becoming a #1 hit. The popularity of this cover song actually helped propel Bob Marley to international fame, introduced reggae to a wider audience (mostly white people), and ultimately became a significant point in bringing attention to amazing music and artist that might not have been known worldwide. "Babylon By Bus (Live)" [Remastered] by Bob Marley & The Wailers is a must-own masterpiece that is constantly overlooked. Hope y'all play some of Marley's music in the future.
I'm wearing my Marley shirt today. It's 4/20/23.
I know this is unpopular, but I really don't hear him adding anything to the song.
Clapton would've made Marley proud.
Clapton covered this many years before Bob died.
Have you guys reacted to Warren g'z version to this? It's 🔥
Love the organ and piano!
The first time I heard it, it was a radio hit for EC, but I never listen to his version, since discovering Bob.
We are pleading with you to watch the live version of this...please?
I happen to like Bob's version a little more. Keep it up guys.
Everyday the bucket goes to the well, one day the bottom will drop out, yes one day the bottom will drop out! Indeed it has!
I like Clapton .. Lots of talent But this is one of the worst songs ever written, in my opinion.
Bob Marley original version is so much better
Definitely Clapton on vocals.
There are some great live versions of this song from The Crossroads Festival and from Hyde Park London. He does extensive soloing when he plays this live. Yes that’s Eric singing.
Kind of ironic that his biggest hit didn’t have a guitar solo, but after kicking a heroin addiction he was happy to just blend in with the band and leave the “guitar hero” thing alone for awhile.
Every time I plant a seed, He said kill it before it grows..
You should do Eric’s. Old Love Cause everybody has one
Bob would've liked this.
BOB TRIBUTE YEAH! 😊 LEAVE IT TO CLAPTON TO MAKE IT A GREAT SONG!
Guys, something I realized while listening…What we are missing in today’s music: Enunciation of Words.
Y’all had brought-up the point in Billy Joel’s singing style, and you’ll hear it in most of the reactions your doing. It was a “proper” manner for vocalist. If your not Enunciating the Words, the lyrics are lost.
I feel when people started storming to post music on social media and an “artist”; mentors, training, wisdom was lost thus, we are where we are today.
No more artist development. People just making music in their bedrooms and then posting it on social media.
Not a patch on Marley's original.
A little different version. Still good.
Gotta thank Eric for growing the love of reggae here
You have to see the live video of this song.. studio version is cool but the live version is a whole other level
This was one of the first 45’s I ever bought.
Yep That's him singing
Jim Keltner on drums I believe
Eric Was Singing and Prolly Has One of the Best Vocals from a Lead Guitar Player in Rock History... 💎⚡️❤️🦅
Thank you so much. The Only Legitimate Music Reactors on YT!
Thank you!!
You ever wonder who the hell shot the deputy?
When this came out it was a Monster hit on AM and FM Radio and for years to come. I got worn out really since it was always on !!! No my cup of tea this style of Clapton's music period but it made him lots of money !!! $$$$$$$$$
That and the fact he's a guitar god!
@@detroitlady7201 Yes, for us lovers of him with Cream there wasn't much of that with Eric during this period, he settled back a bit. 🎸
Great way to start the day. Cheers! ☕️
Still love Bob's better
Genius I remember this as a kid
nice shout out to EPMD, solid duo
Great cover ❤❤❤❤❤
Way to be, bro's. I was fortunate to see him in the 70s. My Cavs and your kings in the playoffs? Let me know...
Originally better. Eric stuff. Done
Stiff
EPMD 🤘🤘
Woo hoo!
You fellas MUST watch the live version from Argentina, or The Crossroads Festival
You should REALLY check out the live version of this song at Crossroads 2004 or at MSG 2004. 2 of his best solos all time for sure!
The most impressive version the one of 1997 in Hyde Park....... Check it out.....
Very solid too. But in terms of phrasing I prefer the other 2 versions. But Hyde Park is top 3 for sure
Amen.
My mom always sang this but she got the words wrong … I shot the cherry. 😂
😂
❤❤❤❤
Nice Reggae vibe.
A masterpiece
🙃👍
👍
Another classic Clapton cover. Happy 4/20!
Guys
This is why Eric Clapton, so far, only 3-time Inductee of Rock Hall of Fame: Yardbirds, Cream, and his solo career. At 78, Eric still plays guitar on tours.
For more reggae covers, give Jerry Garcia Band a listen. They cover “Stop that Train”, “Stir it Up”(wailers) “Sitting in Limbo” (jimmy cliff) and some others too
This studio version is very tame...ck out a live version of this.... totally astounding..peace .
If I only get one guitarist forever- this is my guy. ❤️🎶❤️Loved him live…..3 X ….EVH said Eric inspired him…so there’s that…❤️
Here's a live performance of "Bob Marley & The Wailers - I Shot The Sheriff (Live at the Rainbow Theatre London, 1977)" I like both artists rendition, but my personal favorite is Marley's version but then I love reggae and I'm a big Marley fan
As a white kid on a farm in the middle of Ohio growing up in the 70's, this was my introduction to reggae. Been a fan of Bob Marley ever since. "You can't educate I for no equal opportunity, talkin' bout my freedom, people freedom and liberty. "Babylon System" --Bob Marley
This is from the album 461 Ocean Blvd released in 1974. There are a bunch of covers on this album. I would suggest his cover of Willie and the Hand Jive.
"AFTER MIDNIGHT", "I GOT A ROCK N ROLL HEART", "LAY DOWN SALLY",
"IT'S IN THE WAY THAT YOU USE IT", "ALIBYS"...!
This album (“461 Ocean Boulevard” - 1974) was a comeback for Clapton
It had been three years since the release of his self titled first solo album, because of his heroin addiction.
It was a commercial success and the beginning of his career’s resurgence.
I recommend his cover of Willie Dixon’s “I Can’t Hold Out” as the next track from this album that you might want to check out.
I love slow hand....even at his most alcoholic worst...He is still music at it's best!
